When do you pull out your summer whites? Do you wait for Memorial Day like tradition states, or do you “break the rules” and whip out your lightweights as soon as it gets warm enough? This skirt would be a great addition to a spring and summer wardrobe that embraces classic style. Made by Charter [...]

Turkish tile
1 CommentGoodwill Good Buy of the Week
At our local Arlington Goodwill store I found this adorable frock. At first glance, I’d put this top in the “boho chic” category, waiting for a flower child to snatch it up and wear it on all their outdoor adventures. But on second thought…does anyone else see a hint of Turkish tile in this pattern? [...]

Back to school blue
6 CommentsGoodwill Good Buy of the Week
District of Columbia public schools are back in session, so it’s hard for this fashionista to avoid the harsh realities of a new school year. I remember warm September mornings (we went back to school in September back in my day), wearing my favorite new outfit brimming from ear to ear. Looking back, I realize [...]

Boot up for fall
No CommentsFashion Trends, Goodwill Good Buy of the Week
Although I used to be completely and wholly against booties, I’m starting to come around. I’ve noticed that short boots and other shoes often lumped under the “booties” title—including tie-up oxfords—can be versatile and attractive. Since my conversion, I snapped at the chance to offer you these little boots. They’re by Steve Madden and the [...]

A splash of pink
1 CommentGoodwill Good Buy of the Week
Ladies, if you’ve ever considered showing off your girly side with vintage, this is the dress to get. The simple color scheme is accented with a couple of fun surprises. First, there are large buttons, a nice change from rows of small buttons that I always struggle with. I am just not graceful enough to [...]

Do you have somewhere fancy to be this summer? May I recommend this ladylike gown? This Carol Craig sheath gown is perfect for fancy outdoor functions. The white background makes the blue flowers pop, and there’s just one bow on the back hip to spice things up a bit. Carol Craig was a popular label [...]

Guest Blogger: Frontier Fashion
One of the most prominent trends from the fall runways was a nod to Western chic. Before you retch, think less bedazzled rodeo or Holly Hobby and more “True Grit” – there was a  distinct frontierswomen vibe. That means the best pieces are actually faded and well-worn (and well-loved!); just the type of thing you [...]

Here’s a versatile vintage frock for your consideration, readers. Maybe it’s 70s week here at  Goodwill, because this sporty dress would fit right in. It’s a poly/rayon blend, but the cap sleeves will keep you feeling breezy on humid days. How sharp is the touch of white? It’s hard to hate on the piping and buttons. [...]
