Clearance Sale

OK, here's the deal- I have way too much inventory right now. I am running out of places to store things, and I can't go out hunting for new stuff until I sell off some old stuff. And that's a very big problem for me, because looking for cool new stuff is one of my favorite activities. But this works out great for you, since it means I have to have a sale. Everything at SadieBess Vintage is going to be 20% off through next Sunday, August 25th.

And yes, you can use your SadieBucks points in conjunction with the sale!

New Listings and Coming Soon

Here's a quick look at the latest additions to my collection. I am absolutely heartbroken that the second skirt shown is too small for me. I can't get over that beautiful print! I especially love the last two pieces, too. They make me think of Jessa and Marti from Girls. Is anyone else in love with that show?

And if you haven't already, check out my August promotion and find out how you can earn credit towards any purchase in my shop!

Coming Soon...

This would be the top of my ironing board tonight. I have my work cut out for me between pressing clothes and shooting photos tomorrow, but you can look forward to many new listings in the next few days, including all the gorgeous skirts shown here.

SadieBess is Now on Tumblr

I finally got my act together and started a tumblr for the shop. I've been having fun choosing items to feature, and sprinkling in some vintage pics of me, kitschy places I've been, and even Ingrid Bergman- just to class the joint up.

Finally a new listing!

Vintage 1970s Blue Jean Jacket

I love the details on this one...

I had the best intentions of listing several items over the last week, but life, and other jobs, got in my way.  Now I'm finally getting to the point where I can get back to it, and this afternoon I listed this incredible denim jacket from the 1970s. Oh, I wish, I wish I had one in my size!

Now here's a peek at what's to come:

 

So stay tuned for more shop updates throughout the next few days!

Ayup.

Aaaand I'm Back!

Ok, so I've been a huge slacker where the blogging has been concerned. Fortunately, my graphic design business has picked up and I've been busier than I was last year. But the vintage shop is still important to me, so I'm going to try to do a better job keeping up with this blog.

I've been on a bit of a tear lately making new acquisitions for SadieBess, so I will be listing a lot of new items starting tomorrow. I've got some really chic 80s and early 90s fashions coming, as well as a wild mod flower print 1970s dress. Plus there will be some fabulous footwear added. For now, here are some of my most recent listings:

Chic 80s Double Breasted Red Blazer with Navy Accents

Early 90s African Tribal Print Blazer

80s Oversize Aztec Design Ikat Blazer

Vintage 1960s Faux Sable Fur Capelet
