by JoAnnMandi does it again! She was kind enough to send me some pics of her modeling photos wearing clothing she got at Vintage JoAnn.
The blue 50’s dress with the lace and tulle looks adorable, and I LOVE the hat! Also 50’s netting and blue millinary flowers.
The leopard skirt was a 60’s find and very cool [...]
by JoAnnLast week I spent some enjoyable time talking 70’s fashion with a customer. She brought several things in to sell and she could remember where and when she wore them.
I do believe that for most woman clothing represents the history of our lives. An article of clothing can take you right back so clearly you can [...]
by JoAnnEvery day is an adventure at Vintage JoAnn as I never know who or what is going to come strolling through my door. Today a good friend stopped by and dropped off a load of the most bodacious men’s 1970’s shirts. Cotton and polyester, long pointy collars, tapered fit, from an era when some men’s [...]

One of the items they bought was a bright green halter dress, form fitting and dripping with long fringes, like a 20’s flapper dress, even though the dress is circa 1970.

When you shop at my store you not only get good prices, you are shopping locally.
Everything we purchase that has been previously owned is less [...]

That website is so cool. My favorite feature is the videos where they check out the “most stylish women on the street” in NYC. The best part was the women almost always were [...]
by RickWhen we first meet Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) in Season 1 she’s just another “girl”** in the office secretarial pool at Sterling Cooper, a fictional Madison Avenue advertising agency set in the early 60’s. After Don Draper (Jon Hamm) fires yet another secretary, Office Manager Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks) moves Peggy into the seat outside Don’s [...]
by RickI’m supposed to be painting the front porch right now but it’s a bit nippy out and we just watched an episode of Carson Kressley’s “How to Look Good Naked” show that JoAnn had tivo’d and I feel inspired to write about it. You might remember Carson from “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”. He was the fashion [...]
by RickJoAnn went upstairs with a headache so I get to play Vintage JoAnn for awhile.

According to the AMC MadMen website the premise of the show is “The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Hamm), the biggest ad man [...]
