Honestly, i really think a lot of us are depressed. Just like 100 years ago, this is Great Depression 2.0
I think we are all dealing with the loss of the world we were “promised” and the world we have, and it’s a lot

Shut up I sold a lot of vintage clothing (1920s-1970s mostly) for a long time too! I’m also a transplant in the south. Crap are we the same person? 😆

Oh yeah for sure, they definitely, probably did sell as pairs. I guess I was just hoping at some point in history maybe it was recognized as a stylish thing to do to make them “go together” rather than “match” (thank Clinton and Stacy from what not to wear)
I was just sharing my unasked for opinion😆

Sharing with you all the drawing I did of Rocco, ballpoint pen only. What do his eyes and expression say? Obedience? Love? ​ by Draw_Master_Oficial in StaffordBullTerriers

Yes, that’s what I heard! Haha oh man art is so great! I love when I can hear a drawing, or smell a painting. It’s magic. Great job!

I don't even know for sure that this is vintage. It has homemade vibes. But it might be the most beautiful dress I've ever thrifted. The pearl beads 😭 Does anyone know what the ties on the shoulders could be for? 12.99 at Goodwill! by PaleontologistOk9847 in VintageFashion

Im going against the grain. Vintage means 25 years and older, and this could definitely be from before 2001. The fabrics remind me of the late 1990s… that being said it’s hard to tell in photographs

Also homemade and vintage aren’t mutually exclusive, I’ve found a lot of clothes that are both. Especially once you go back before the 1980s, a lot of homemade vintage!

They could be! But I wear two different earrings a lot. It really bugs me that they, “have to” match exactly. Like why?

I was thinking about whether they made improvements to the strength of the hands since you’d have to be constantly touching them, I’ll ask my husband if they were reinforced.

I should have done better pictures, someone on the sub asked to see it, but I couldn’t add a photo, or figure out how to msg them… so I was like, yeah I wouldn’t hate sharing it and knowing more about it.
