Oh the joy that shopping brings. When you have found that one piece that has been on your list forever and you hand over your credit card to swipe and finalize the purchase, it can be liberating. No more searching, no more wondering and hoping that you will find that item on your next shopping adventure.
So what’s next? After you have sorted through the sale bins and found a bunch of full priced items, anyone would assume that you would be satisfied. But yet there is still more to be desired. Because, shopping does not end at the mall, in a boutique, or at your closet doors. It has an immortal like quality that keeps many fashion followers coming back for more.
Believe it or not there are different types of shopping. There is boutique shopping, where one heads to the local mall and buys what is on trend for the season. There is outlet shopping, where one heads to a local outlet and buys designer goods at a fraction of the price. And, then there is vintage shopping, the kind of shopping that is rarely spoken of in the fashion world because the craving is always for something new and fresh, not old and historical. So to satisfy the cravings of those who love to purchase something that has a story and believe in nostalgia, a list has been created of the best places for vintage shopping.
