DAY ONE
The Toronto Vintage Clothing show is finally here!! I was so excited the days leading up to the show, I don't think I was able to sleep! For my outfit I went for this all red look. I am wearing this red 1940s inspired dress and blazer set (honestly one of my best thrift finds!), I paired it with my red hat from Clappison Corners antiques. The first day was very hectic but so much fun. I got to go in an hour before it started, this gave me a chance to talk to some of my favourite vendors. This is one of my favourite parts because I only get to see them at the vintage show. Its always nice to catch up and talk about vintage! I also got to go through most of the show before it started to get busy. This season was the busiest its been, I've never seen lines so long. But unlike other years it was more spread out so it wasn't as hard to shop. In the past people have come all at once in the morning making it SUPER crowded, and then it dies out by early afternoon. This season it was busy all day but less people. It was much more manageable. The crowds don't stop me from shopping tho! I also enjoy seeing what other people are buying. Five hours later I left the vintage show with 3 overflowing bags filled with vintage.
DAY TWO
Then it was back again for another full day of vintage shopping. I wore this grey 1940s suit set with a purple 1930s hat from the Freelton Antique mall. I also wore this purple flower brooch that I made from some thrifted flowers. The second day is always calmer. Most of the stock is the same but the vendors do restock in the sparse area in the booth. So there are always hidden gems that weren't there the day before. I always recommend people go both days because you never know what you'll find. I actually ended up finding a couple of pieces that I didn't see the day before. I love walking around and going through each booth with a fine tooth comb. This also gives me a chance to meet more of you guys which is always exciting! I left the second day with two huge bags.... I had to cut myself off and leave because there was so much selection.
I filmed a VERY large haul for my Youtube channel along with a Vlog! Overall I would say this season was the BEST vintage show I've been to. There were so many beautiful pieces and tons to choose from. There was an abundance of 1970s pieces (which isn't my thing but people seemed to enjoy it!). But I found that this year there were more older pieces compared to other seasons which is the type of thing I look for. Thank you to anyone that came up to me and say hi! I hope you had an amazing time shopping at the Toronto vintage clothing show. If you missed it this season don't worry there will be another one in the fall.
