Scene and be seen. πŸ‘πŸοΈβ›΅ We love a great print around here, but if that's not quite your... well... scene, there's plenty of solids and more subtle prints also! #vintageshop #noveltyprint #dopaminedressing #ultratwistvintage

I wore all black for decades and trust me, I get the appeal. But also trust me that once you start adding a lil pop of color here and there, it gets easier and even a bit addictive haha! PS: Keep your eyes open for some upcoming workshops on DIY Color Analysis and wearing color with confidence!

And a few more: 🌈 Jewelry: statement earrings, pendants, bangle bracelets, brooches, or cocktail rings 🌈 Swap one neutral basic (tee/ cardigan/ jeans/ etc) for a version in your fave color

A few ways to add a little color to your wardrobe mix: 🌈 Accessories: colorful shoes, bags, hats, hair clips, belts, or even socks 🌈 Silk scarves: tie 'em in your hair, around your neck, on a bag, or as a belt

Did you know that colorful environments (and clothes) are proven to boost spirits and increase a sense of joy and happiness? It's true! (Hooray for science!) You don't have to go full-on highlighter-bright-neon maxi dress to get the benefits either.

Happy Aloha Friday! 🌺 It's also International Color Day so of course I used that as an excuse to wear the brightest vintage Hawaiian dress in my collection!

If you wouldn't expect a dentist hygienist to clean your teeth for love of oral hygiene or a mechanic to change your oil for love of cars, you should not expect a writer to provide free books for love of the creative process.

If ya gotta wear a jacket, it might as well be a really freakin' cool one! πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’œ Just one of many plus size artsy, funky, gonzo jackets we got in - all lighter weight so you can wear 'em through Spring and cooler Summer eves! #wearableart #dopaminedressing #secondhandstyle #ultratwistvintage

Tomorrow is International Color Day and I will be celebrating by being COLORFUL! 🌈 The world feels bleak, be the bright spot in someone's day!

Can't sleep. Made tea. Lil quote on tea bag tag says "The worst enemy we have is our own fear." My tea is mocking my insomnia!

Is there a more perfect shirt for #internationalwomensday? Nope, didn't think so. @allriot.bsky.social

Happy #AlohaFriday! 🌺 This 60s #vintage romper, which looks 100% like a dress, was made a fave #Hawaiiandress manufacturer: Alice Polynesian Fashions. It may be annoying AF when going to the bathroom but the fabric is so great I put up with it. The things we do for fashion haha! #ultratwistvintage

Who's with me? (In spirit of course cuz... avoiding people.πŸ˜‰)

This was our third Paczki Day living in Milwaukee and I finally ate one! I got the traditional prune flavor and it was quite tasty. One step closer to full MKE assimilation. πŸ˜‰

the most beneficial effect of many boycotts is on yourself 'but that won't hurt company x' is often irrelevant I'm taking back some agency I'm aligning my actions with my beliefs I feel better for it that's good enough in fact, imo it's better than punishment as a motive

Mindful shopping tip: Channel Freddie Mercury when shopping and ask yourself "Is this real life, or is this just fantasy?" If you won't wear it in your real life, leave it there for someone who will! But remember a "fantasy" outfit for one person is "real life" for another - be true to you!

Every day is a great day to #shopsmall and #shoplocal! πŸ’– #vintageshop #milwaukeevintage #thatswhywestallis #milwaukeewi #ultratwistvintage

Always local coffee shops. Ya don't get love like this from the chains! #milwaukeewi #westallis

Shout out to @palomawilder.bsky.social for putting together this alt-shopping list for #milwaukeewi #smallbusiness! If you gotta shop #shopsmall & #shoplocal!

The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

Today is the day to boycott big retail and support tiny shops like yours truly. Please come see us and let's end this February from hell on a high note. Bonus: the part-time store pup Jaffee will be in for most of the day 🐢 This beautiful art is by Martha Rich πŸ™Œ

Just a reminder that once you start looking, you can find almost anything somewhere other than Amazon. I just deleted the app from my phone and it felt so liberating! (And no shame to folks who can't divest themselves completely, we all gotta do what's best for our own lives!) #shopsmall #shoplocal
