Hello readers! First off, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Caylor, and I joined the Vintage Tex family in July! I’ve always had a passion for all things vintage and I went to school for fashion merchandising so this is honestly my dream job and I’ve been having a blast these past few months. If you’ve seen my Instagram (@caylortompkins) or my posts on the shop’s Instagram (@vintagetex), you’ve probably gathered by now that my favorite decade for fashion is the 1970s. Everything about it just speaks to my soul. That being said, upon seeing pieces inspired by this wonderful period in fashionRead More →

Have you ever gotten all dressed up for a Halloween party, only to realize someone is wearing the EXACT same hotdog costume as you? Complete buzzkill, right?

I’m Monica, the newest addition to the fabulous Vintage Tex team. Not to be confused with the great blogger before me (who is also named Monica, cool huh?). I love all things 60’s, hair, makeup, minidresses, and the ever so handsome James Garner. Or maybe just his beard. I am a vintage lover by day and an aspiring actress by night. Oh and Thai is my favorite cuisine. Just so you know.Read More →

Unfortunately, I just had my last day at Vintage Tex. What a crazy summer it’s been!  I’m heading back to Trinity University for the fall of my junior year.

I’m unashamed to say I was probably our best customer this summer. Dresses, skirts, blouses, vests, jeans, shorts, purses, jewelry–none were safe from me. I give a lot of credit to Jen for this–she has a terrific eye for vintage, and she stocks her store very well! EveryRead More →
