Versatile Vintage Loves

Vintage inspiration and randomness from Najah of Norah's Vintage Loft based in Detroit

I still find time to prepare my family home cooked healthy meals. This is steamed veggies flavored with fresh garlic and onions. Seasoned with basil, cumin, sage, chili powder, onion powder, mustered powder and garlic salt. I'm heavy handed with the seasonings... And butter. I made a nice veggie broth with this combination so I took some of it and cooked the basmati rice in it. I froze the rest in some breastmilk freezer bottles because reduce, reuse, recycle and ish like that.

I went thrifting a couple weekends ago at my favorite spot. They are closing soon but I hear they are getting a new location. Anywho, here are some of my finds. ...... 1. 1980s Doritos Sweatshirt. It's in pretty good condition. I'm gonna make some alterations to it. 2. 1980s Levi's Jean jacket for Norah. She has to grow into it a lil. 3. 1980s Redwings sweatshirt. I love 80s sweatshirts because they have a slim fit. I'm going to alter this a bit. 4. 1980s Colorblock leather purse. I love this purse style. I have several 5. Vintage paper thin Tuskegee sweatshirt. This is for @johnpau1howard. 6. Vintage Detroit. Stroh's Ren Cen Sweatshirt. I found 2 of these. They will be altered. 7. 1970s racing stripes windbreaker. I will be rocking this come spring time 🔥💫😱 8. 1980s sweatshirt. I like the message, all though I don't party to much these days. Will be altered for sure. 9. Vintage heavy wool coat. This is the second heavy wool coat I've found that fits me perfectly. The other is an a-line fire red coat. Y'all have to wait until next winter to see that one on me. Ok, that's it. That's all I took time to take pix of. I was supposed to thrift today but I stayed in bed instead. I'm looking for all the pretty dresses for the beach this summer. 👗💁🏽🙅🏽

I wonder if these numbers are still active. What if I need replacement parts one day? Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔. Let me go research.

We all need a little motivation sometimes and these vintage size 6 pink pants is mine. I need to be able to fit these by May. And yes, there's a matching jacket.

Thrift is life 😍. Today was the first day in a long time that I selfishly thrifted. I wasn't thinking about who might like this or who can fit that it was just all about me and some other quirky ideas. I'm gonna plan a weekend thrift trip real soon when all I do is shop cuz I never get tired of it.

🎶🎶Don't call it a comeback 🎶🎶 Lee jeans have always been a thing. My favorites are the 70s and 80s high waist style. I feel like I strike gold when I find an extra long pair to accommodate my extra long legs.

My favorite part of the Black Panther love is now people feel me when they see me out in my bright regal colors 🙅🏽. . Yesterday was the semester in review at HFASCS. There is so much talent at this school. Glad to have 2 scholars that are excelling here. . I'm wearing a 1980s lime green woman's double breasted blazer and 1970s men's slacks. I like wearing men's slacks cuz I like the cut and fit plus they have deeper pockets then women's pants and I always need the extra space. I layered an army green and a lime green top under the blazer for a lil contrast.

I prepared this "closed" post last night and it said something like "my etsy shop will be closed for a few days while I rearrange something's." followed by "swipe left to see what's coming." Then there would have been a series of photos of some beautiful swimsuits including this Two Live Crew style monkokini 😳. . . As I kept saying the word "closed" I realized I really wanted to close like, forever. I've been doing this for a while now and I've just been going through the motions lately (a guy once dumped me with that line, another story 😂😂). It's not fun anymore, I have to many other things that need my attention and this isn't worth my time. I love vintage clothing always have always will and I may come back to it but not in this capacity. I've been working on an idea for a while that's more "service" oriented then sales although sales is always the goal. . . You'll see me around in my vintage styles and if you need it I probably still got it. . . I'm not deleting this page I will use it in a different capacity. Maybe for my random rants and stories or my outfits of the day. . . So this is it, Norah's Vintage Loft is no more. Something else will come up but I don't know what or when it is yet. . . Ok, bye ✌🏽👌🏽😎 Najah
