Hey Macklemore, can we go thrift shopping?

I've blogged about Cleveland's vintage scene in the past, but never have I put together a piece on Cleveland's Flower Child. Flower Child is a chain vintage store, but I've been partial to Cleveland's for many years. When you enter, it's like walking into a time capsule, as the boutique has items dating back as far as the 1930's. Most of the prices are a bit too high for me, but it's always fun to browse through the many rooms of clothing, accessories, books and decor.

Do you have any vintage stores in your city that you frequent?


{A super vintage Kate Spade NY bag. Would you checkout those handles!?}



{As soon as I put this coat on, I realized why so many women buy fur coats-- it's like wearing a furnace it's so warm!}


  

{I've had my eyes on this suit for a while, because it was made in for The Higbee Company in Cleveland, circa 1960s/1970s. Also, it reminds me of Jackie Kennedy's Chanel suit from 1963. Is $65 too much?}

  3. I'm obsessed with thrifting. I don't think $65 is too much for that suit but maybe try and offer $50? $25 a piece would be a steal.

  4. There's a thrift shop near to me that is SUPER vintage! The store has a lot of dresses from the 1920s and 1930s but they also have a few clothing items from the late 1800s! It's so cool because it's like a museum but where you can actually touch and buy stuff :P
