About Me

I'm Susie. I live in Saint Louis with my wonderful hubby Alex and my two sweet little kitties, Boo Boo and Dallas. I'm a thrift store, garage sale, and estate sale picker and barista. My passion for vintage fuels my existence. There's no greater thrill than spending hours digging through piles of dirty '90s jeans and oversized polyester business suits to find the gorgeous yet wrinkled '50s frock, the forgotten mink stole, or the ugly pillbox hat.

We live in a society that covets "throw-away" fashion. Cheaply-made pieces that fall apart after a season of wear are the standard. My goal with this blog is to show how vintage isn't just a time capsule to another era, but how timeless well-made, figure-flattering clothing really is. A beautifully appointed closet can last a lifetime. Who needs a new wardrobe every season, when well-crafted pieces only get better with time?

My outlook? If it's lasted at least 30 years already, why can't it last another 30 more?
