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?

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

"I am an ever changing dance of emotion..."

I went out picking today and found the most amazing neon purple and orange aztec motif turtleneck sweater by a company called IB Diffusion. I had come across this label once before, so I went online to do a bit of research, and boy did I get a treat! They made a promotional video back in the day, and it is pants wettingly hilarious in it's earnestness. This is a must watch for anyone who enjoys shoulder pads, baby tigers, bangs that stand three inches straight up in the air, and/or gratuitous posing.

Sadly, IB Diffusion went out of business in 1993. Death by Grunge, most likely.
