Vintage Fashion Guild...Spring Inspirations 2011

You must see the new Spring Inspirations 2011 that was put together by the Vintage Fashion Guild. This is a wonderful group of examples for what is "hot" for spring of 2011. The key is that instead of being new China made clothing, you can achieve the look with classic vintage fashions made to last from generation to generation.

I've Got The "I'm Sick Of Winter Blues"

I am really sick of winter. I hate being cold, even when I add layer upon layer of clothes until they are surrounding my body to the point I can't move, like a child in a too small snowsuit, I am still cold!

I hate the snow. It only looks pretty while it is drifting through the sky. Landing into softly billowing piles of pristine white cloud-like structures on every object it covers. But soon it is dirty and gray lying on the side of the road, pushed high in piles in every parking lot, and staying around well past the time its welcome is worn out.

I've definately got the "I'm sick of winter blues especially when the weather man is predicting 8-10 inches of snow overnight......please winter, I've had enough, go away!

If you are feeling the same way maybe these lovely blue vintage treasures will help to perk your spirits up!

Whatever Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger

That has been my mantra the last few weeks, I find myself repeating it over and over in my head. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.....Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.....Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Now that it is fully ingrained in my consciousness I am starting to feel its power.

I have had a bump in the road of life but the path ahead is starting to look smoother. Let's celebrate by looking at some great spring-like outfits to brighten up any cloudy day.
