I’m definitely that way about my jewelry. Most of the items I wear daily\/near daily have a story or a person attached to them. For example: my wedding ring, a super simple diamond necklace I got from my husband,\u00a0the <a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/bybxamb58f7\" target=\"_blank\">cuff<\/a> I got on my anniversary last year, I even have my mom’s old watch sitting on my dresser waiting for a new battery. I love items with a story attached to them.<\/p>\n<p>That’s kind of what thrills me about vintage clothing. I wonder who wore it before me? Was it an old man professor, or a housewife baking pies or someone who worked their fingers to the bone? I like vintage because of the history and it feels like the item is one-of-a-kind.<\/p>\n<p>In my estimation, vintage clothing will be near-extinct one day. Because so much of what is bought and sold today is of subpar quality and often made from synthetic fibers, most of today’s clothing won’t\u00a0live long enough to be ‘vintage.’ Fifty years ago people spent a higher proportion of their income on their clothing and it was an event to buy something new. They bought fewer items because clothing was expensive. Most apparel was still made in the U.S. and it was usually built to last. Today’s vintage market will attest to that.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-4-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-4-684x1024.jpg 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Part of the allure of vintage clothing for me is also the styles. Sometimes it’s hard to find a modern take on what you’re looking for (like a big chunky wool cardigan) and vintage comes up with the answer. I found this hand knitted wool sweater (made in the Donegal Highlands of Ireland!) on Poshmark. It may be a touch professor-ish, but I’m embracing that. It’s extremely warm and notice anything? No pilling. Not sure how that’s even possible, but maybe vintage wool is more sturdy than today’s wool.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1198\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-3.jpg 1198w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-3-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-3-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-3-1080x721.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1198px) 100vw, 1198px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-2-750x600.jpg 750w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-2-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seasons-and-salt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Seasons-Salt-Vintage-2-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>STYLE NOTES:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last week, I shared all about my take on ‘uniforms’ and this outfit seems to fall into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seasons-and-salt.com\/style-study-road-uniform-5-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alt 1 category<\/a>.
