VINTAGE ALREADY OLD!?

 
  Ok so I am speaking as a consumer, and somewhat a pop culture junkie. I don't know if my claims here are true but they're purely opinionated. Thru some basic observations it seems like the whole vintage trend (which I was definitely in with) has somewhat faded. I shop at Rue21 and they brought in a nice vintage design with their clothes. Now the lace, and ribbons have begun to be replaced by they bright neon trims and center folds. It's crazy how obsessed we all were with the vintage lifestyle, I'm personally in heaven seeing old wood, or metal furnishes. Seeing old pieces of clothes or antiques for some reason throws me overboard in a sea of respect. The simpler times were when people played outside or drove in their cars for 10 cents with their friends. I sometimes wish I could sit back on a 57 Chevy's hood sipping a 5 cent Pepsi, overlooking the town in a cliche picturesque cliff parking lot. Why can't life be vintage? No cell phones, no computer...what if when we heard "wifi" we thought of some governmental conspiracy to invade our easy life's? I think it's to the point where we love the ideal of not taking a bag of chargers, and electronics everywhere we go...but when we actually come to doing it, that's another thing. We are so whipped and wired in we can't even live out our fantasy that are as easy a putting our phones down. We use them because they exist and we love them. So with new technologies and ideas with our modern neon world is there even a place for vintage fashion!? Us small humans are sporting vintage fashions and vintage products all in a desperate plea for old ways...yet we take a picture of our new vintage shoes and twit pic it, instagram it, Facebook it, pin it on  pinterest, Blog them, Vlog them, text about them, email them, pic message them, and all this, just to show we support simpler times...it was difficult just writing all those posting ways. To support vintage fashion we have to support the life of simplicity and enjoying the little things...not the app store. Seeing all the new fashion trends go in and out I'm sure vintage fashion still holds itself strong, but really it all relies on the spirit of us consumers, and of course the fashion bloggers....oh we're such an  impressionable society.
