The Best of Red Lips Vintage

I really loved setting up shop for Red Lips Vintage. Part of me and Alex's decision to spend winter in Indianapolis revolved around the ability to live cheaply so I could thrift my little heart out and spread my hard earned vintage treasures around the world. As a clueless recent graduate with no desire to pursue art history, this leap of faith brought me an overwhelming sense of purpose that I'd never experienced before in my young life. Red Lips Vintage's success gave me a creative effort to dive head first into, a sort of awakening that I am in fact creative, hard working, and ambitious. Is it silly that I didn't know this until I was 21 years old? I arrived in Indiana with this mission and when folks asked me where I was headed with it, I knew Red Lips Vintage may not be my life's work, but would absolutely lead me to it. I made 328 sales and 1497 shop hearts in a 7 month time span, and will be forever proud of that accomplishment as I pursue my love of sewing and newfound interest in lingerie design. To be honest, it's kinda scary to be scrambling again without a steady income from etsy sales, but I'm okay with a little uncertainty.

Thank you so, so much to my lovely customers, sweet blog readers, supportive friends, Alex, and especially my parents, who have always encouraged me to make my dreams a reality. My heart is open to you all! Red Lips Vintage may be winding down with a closing sale, but there's still time for a little round of The Best of Red Lips Vintage. To be fair, these are just some of my favorite shop photos...Man, I am going to miss my Indianapolis photo spot more than anything! Such. Good. Lighting.
