Flounce= Flutter and Pounce

After this shoot, and my breakthrough- "I can now die happy and fulfilled since I have fondled an entire rack of vintage 70s YSL safari suits"-moment in the Exquisite Costume basement, it got me thinking about my quest for certain vintage items that I have dedicated my life to (yes, high aspirations for this School of Foreign Service graduate). These include (but are not limited to): 1920s Velvet dresses, a YSL Le Smoking jacket, Victorian army boots, the perfect striped navy breton top, Argentinian riding boots, a '70s trench, a scarab ring, and a buttery leather briefcase with a messenger strap. I'm sure there's more--everytime i see a french film, another gets added to the list. What are your vintage quests?
