FASHION : my vintage favorites!

My vintage Sakowitz shoes:

Very Cinderella except much more practical! The fabric is sheer and has a flower pattern embroidered into it with gold thread. The heels are white-gold and the toes have a matching white-gold cap to hide just the tip of your toe.




I LOVE old Sakowitz. Sakowitz was  a chain of high-end department stores (like Neiman's or Saks) that was based in my hometown of Houston, TX! Sadly, they closed around the 80s or 90s, and there's only a Sakowitz Furs store left.

An all-leather, vintage Koret handbag:

I scored this for $12.00 after digging through a ton of junk at a local, vintage store. I found it priced elsewhere for $150! It goes to show how much you can save with a little patience:


I love this last purse! It has no label or identifying markings in it, so I don't know the brand. I found it in pristine condition at a resale store for cheap (like less than $20 cheap):


It looks like the classic Lady Dior bags with cannage (criss-cross type) stitching and sports resin handles:

That's about it for now! I have some shoes I want to share, but I am in the middle of moving so most of my stuff is packed in boxes.

I love shopping around yard sales, estate sales, consignment, and even Goodwill type stores for great bargains. And you're right, you never know what treasures you'll find with a little patience.

I was raised in CT and there was a high end store there that went out of business too, G Fox. I loved that store, I mostly couldn't afford it in my teens and twenties, but I shopped those clearance racks and got some gorgeous clothes back in the day.
