Joanna at Dividing Vintage Moments is having an huge give-away. To enter I am posting my Top Ten Items that Provide Vintage Inspiration. 1) Bloglovin-Why? There are so many amazing vintage bloggers out there! 2) 1940's Fashion- Why? I love everyday women from the 40's. I wish it was the norm today to wear dresses and hats.

Source 3)Rosie the Riviter- Why? America came together during WWII and women left their traditional rolls and picked up the work and the cause.

Source 4)Land Girls- Why? Great TV series, awesome fashion, it makes me want to be a Land Girl!!!
