A Vintage Lover's Dilemma

More often than not, there is no dilemma when deciding whether to sell or keep vintage; it fits and looks good (keep), it doesn’t fit or look good (sell). But other times, it can be a bit more complicated than that. Such is the case with one of my newest finds. An amazing 1950s Dior Chapeux.

Do I think this hat looks good on me…no. But the hat looks good. And it’s definitely a collector’s piece. So…to keep or not to keep? I think I’ll sit on this for a bit. For now, some vintage Dior eye candy:




















Vintage Turbans:









"My" Dior (late night goofy shoot pics...just for fun!)












I wasn't planning on posting the pics of myself. It was late and I was still in my beach gear, but I figured I'd practice sharing pics of me.

So, would you keep the hat even if you know you wouldn't wear it?

  1. Although it is an adorable hat, I would probably sell it because I know that, even though I won't use it, someone else out there would use it and love it and, yeah. I think it should get passed along :)

  4. I would say keep it until/if you're ready to part with it. There's no sense in forcing yourself to do something that you may regret.
