Everyone loves a little vintage shopping now and then, and nothing beats the feeling of excitement you get when you spot that perfect diamond-in-the-rough item at a vintage store. So many trends are inspired by looks from the past, why not wear the real deal? This spring, looks such as cat eye sunglasses and wide leg pants are back, and if you're looking for more unique versions of these trends, vintage shopping is a great option. A big issue when looking for vintage items is knowing where all the good finds are- and since Davis has a limited selection when it comes to shopping, this is an even bigger issue for UC Davis students!
But if you are looking to get your vintage shopping fix, www.adorevintage.com is an amazing online vintage source. You can search by by time period or type of clothing that you want, and they have PAGES of clothing and accessories to browse through. Most of the clothing they have is from the 1950's on, but occasionally pieces from earlier eras will come in. You can order anything online and they ship to anywhere!
In addition to online shopping, Adorevintage also has a really interesting blog about vintage clothing you can access from their website. They also have a fun background on vintage fashion broken down by time period, articles written all about vintage, and have created adorable lookbooks that you can go through on their website as well. Basically it's a one-stop site for anything vintage! Here's a little preview of Adorevintage from one of the lookbooks they have up on their website:
This website has become one of my favorites, and I'm sure anyone in search of a vintage piece would be able to find something they love!
