Hello all you wonderful, beautiful people.
I hope you are all doing well and that the sun is shining where you are!
The dress I'm wearing is my first ever vintage dress that I've worn (I have two other vintage dresses that I bought before this one, but have yet to wear them). When I saw this dress on instagram I knew I had to have it. The floral print is beautiful, and the nipped in waist gives a gorgeous silhouette. The dress is from Simplicity is Bliss (IG @sibvintage).
One thing that I find is difficult with vintage is to know when to buy and when not to buy. Obviously, since it's vintage the likelihood of ever finding the same dress again is quite small, however you want to still get value for your money and vintage can be quite expensive.
If the vintage dress is my size (or bigger), the rule for me has been that I buy it if I can't stop thinking about it. It won't ever be "restocked" so you need to act fast, so if I find myself thinking about the dress after I've seen it, I will purchase it. How about you? Calling all other vintage-wearing ladies (and gentlemen), how do you decide what to buy when it comes to vintage items?

I'm very happy to have ventured into the vintage world! Do you wear vintage? Why? Why not?
Hope you have a splendid rest of the week!
Much love,
