However, on my way out I finally cracked and dropped by the vintage store, Cream, right by my apartment complex. My intent was to try on a dress I had been window stalking, but naturally I found a couple things to try on. The girls there were so sweet, and I wound up walking away with two dresses (which I wore to high holidays services Friday and Saturday).
I will definitely be belting the dresses and pairing them with chunky jewelry and edgy accessories to counter the hyper-femininity.
I also found this vintage lace collar about a year and a half ago. It was my grandmother's, and initially I gave the discovery to my mom, but she has yet to even attempt wearing it so I'm reclaiming it to wear under fall sweaters.
What are your go-to vintage stores?
In New York, my go to vintage places are the Hells Kitchen Flea Market and the Chelsea flea market on the weekends! And I love Marmalade Vintage store in the Lower East Side. In Toronto, my fav' vintage stores are in Kensignton Market and Gaddabout!
