Vintage can be politically incorrect

Ever have a vintage piece you love, but just can't wear as you're scared of sending the wrong message?

Sometimes I really hate the politically correct world we live in in the western world.

But, while I love this vintage hand-rolled silk scarf by Vera that I've had for years, I just haven't been able to wear it for years.

Why? Because I loathe bull fighting.

Didn't think of that when I bought it in my early 20s.

I think it's quite vintage. It has the Vera name printed on the silk, but I've never seen a tag like this sewn into the scarf - if they were a typical thing I guess they must fall off over the years.

I haven't had this vintage feeling with anything else but fur. I bought a second-hand fur coat a few years ago and wore it for a winter. It kept me super warm in the frigid Canadian winter, but I couldn't handle the implications and got rid of it. But I still wear a vintage suede coat that I featured on this very blog that has a fur collar.

Do you have any vintage pieces that give you this kind of angst?
