FLUFFY Vintage Angora Sweaters

My very first vintage purchase was a bright pink 50s angora sweater; the fitted kind with 3/4 sleeves and the zipper at the back of the neck. I bought it with my paper route money when I was 13. I loved the soft and cuddly angora and I wore that sweater to death. Later when I was 15 I had an 80s turquoise angora mini dress, bat wing sleeves with the huge V in the back... I thought I looked soooooooo grown up in that dress!! Now as a vintage seller I'm always on the look out for nice vintage angora pieces, especially the luxurious French angora which always seems so ultra fluffy!

I just listed this exceptional little short sleeved sweater. I love the soft golden blond color and the mink tail collar $55.00. Available at Empress Jade Vintage on Etsy

Another new listing today with this 80s hot pink cable knit in a wool / angora blend. An eyepopping shade to cheer you up on the most dismal winter days. $32.00 Available at Empress Jade Vintage.

Here are some other terrific angora sweaters I found on Etsy today:

Bright red French angora sweater by Darlene... a steal at only $25. Available at the Commune

A delightful powderblue beaded angora cardi, XS $36.00 available at Small Earth Vintage

The ultimate 80s angora batwing sweater in black and white stripes $32.00 from Aquanetta

This last one isn't a sweater, but I just had to include this outrageously cool purple angora hat, 60s mod $98.00 and available at TialeyVintage

Holiday Party Dresses

Oh boy this year is going by fast! The first week of November and I've just received my first Christmas party invite. So I'm already planning some outfits for the forthcoming holiday season. I think you can never go wrong with a great vintage dress for Christmas and New Years parties. Why?

• Cost is often MUCH MUCH less than new, even when factoring in shipping and alterations
• Rarity of vintage garments effectively guarantees no other women will be wearing Your dress.
• Selection: the vast range of styles, fabric and colors produced throughout the years is not limited to this seasons trends.
• Versatility: Vintage can be iconic, classic, quirky or uber hip; it's all in how you wear it.
• Higher Quality: vintage clothes almost always have superior finishing, finer fabric and unique embellishments that are lacking in our new mass produced clothes.
• Vintage is a green choice: Reduce, Re-use and Recycle. Wearing vintage instead of buying a new sweatshop produced garment just makes better sense!
  

Not So Basic Black:
Slimming and always flattering. Elegant to sexy, black never fails!

Make an impression in Bold Color!

ONE WARNING : If you are thinking about buying a vintage dress for the upcoming holiday soirees, keep in mind that selection is the best if you shop early and shipping times can take a lot longer than normal as we head into December's Christmas rush.
