I love vintage!

About a year ago, I read a newspaper article in a waiting room about a local vintage seller. Much to my husband’s chagrin, I immediately went shopping and put a collection of vintage clothes on line. Since then I’ve gotten a thrill out of uncovering finds for my Etsy clients. What do I like about it? I’ve got an eye for it, I can keep prices low and still make a profit, and I especially dig the enviromental/anti-consumerism high I get from shopping secondlife.

Last month’s Blueprint featured a patch of cold weather coats, including

this sharp 80’s throw back.

The problem? It costs $695!

You can get the same look at my place for a fraction of the cost. Here’s my $45 pretty — ready to funk out with a row of buttons and black boots (see above), or ready as-is for classic stylistas.

In fact, I’ll make the deal even sweeter — tell me you’re a Magpie Girl reader when you order any coat between now and the end of the year and I’ll give you a $5 discount. Fly on over to Magpie Etsy.
