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?

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!

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
