Vintage No. 5

Just went back to the shop yesterday — here are some updates!
— The shop is open now on Sundays from 3 – 6 pm… and NOT open on Saturday from 12 – 3. Essentially its hours now are Thursday-​Sunday 3 – 6 pm. Even if the door is locked, just knock and the shopkeeper will let you in.
— The owner (Sylvia) is going to start transitioning the clothes to the spring season… coming in a couple of weeks or so!
— On that note, the shop’s strong suit are the accessories — lots of nice cocktail hats/​handbags/​jewelry. Examine closely, because pretty much everything in there’s for sale.
— Starting next week she’s going to start making prices static. Yeah, no more haggling, but at least it will be a lot less pressure for those who are uncomfortable with negotiating. In conjunction, some of the prices of the clothing will be adjusted… so maybe that amazing paillette jacket will be cheaper now?
Also, I’ve learned something recently, having become acquainted with the owner. Y’know how it might be kind of intimidating/​irritating when the shopkeeper tries to talk to you/​make comments about what you’re browsing? Well, I always found it that way. All in all, it’s just the keeper trying to be friendly, not necessarily trying to pressure you into buying something. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with trying to be nice.

Stopped in to find an 80’s outfit, and while I didn’t exactly find what I was looking for, there were some beautiful things in there that I would have bought if I wasn’t on a mission! Lots of gorgeous jewelry and handbags, I saw some gorgeous dresses and coats too. It can get a little bit pricey, but the items are in good shape and of a good quality. I might have to make a stop back soon for this fabulous bracelet I saw in one of the display cases.
The woman who was working there was very nice and offered to help me find anything. I always enjoy a business that’s run by a people person!
