Funwear On Etsy: Monday, Monday! Vintage '60s on Etsy.

Here's a blast from the past! It's one of those songs that brings back the charm of long, lazy, childhood days, when even "rock-n-rollers", like "The Mama's & The Papa's" were mellow. Just sit back, listen to a song describing Mondays as mellow days, which is pretty hard to imagine in today's fast past lifestyle. http://youtu.be/h81Ojd3d2rY.........wasn't that great! It's fun to check out the color pallet they used for the costumes and stage design. Definitely '60s era fashions and colors. I like their "groovy" dance moves too and the way the lead singer does a "bobble head" type of movement that looks completely fake and uncomfortable. The clothes look a little star-treky, too. I was four years old when this song came out and remember my cousins playing it on a record player when they baby sat us. I guess that makes me vintage '60s, which brings us to the topic for today's post.....Vintage '60s on Etsy!

As a little girl, the owner of Firefly Vintage would beg her mother to save the beautiful dresses she wore so that she could have them when she grew up. Her mother would laugh and say that she wouldn't want "those old things" when she got old enough to wear them. Her mother would've never guessed that those lovely 1950's fashions would become one of her greatest passions. She now sells, not only vintage clothing and accessories, but also vintage sewing supplies, books, and anything that is designed with that special flare that is so rarely seen now days. The following dress was designed by Mister Robert and screams 1960's! The color is popular again, today and it's cool, comfortable and absolutely beautiful. Check is out at www.etsy.com/shop/FireflyVintage

Atavios Artefacto is a fun little shop that has a wide variety of vintage items. It's only been open since 2010, but has had a lot of success, probably due to the wonderful quality and the uniquely interesting items offered. The shop currently offers 177 vintage items. One of my favorites is the "Original 60s Vintage Gray AMERICAN TOURISTER Round Travel Case." Be sure to check out their other items at www.etsy.com/shop/ataviosartefacto

OMM Vintage is another great little shop that opened just recently, Sept. 2011! It offers some truly iconic '60s vintage clothing! When I think of the '60s, I think of the fashions that are available at OMM Vintage. The quality of their items can't be beat, either! Their "Vintage MOD 60s 1960s checkered wool vinyl mini shift dress SIZE Small 6 8" is absolutely beautiful and wonderfully '60s. Take a look at it here and then go to www.etsy.com/shop/ommvintage to check out the other wonderful items they offer!
