In reply to bree. Bree you have such a great point. There is MUCH confusion. It does take education to understand the difference. In the end, it is about how much do you love and are willing to pay for the piece. And if you are willing to dig for it yourself, then the value should be less because of the commitment you are making to finding it. I do believe that this will always be an ongoing battle, differentiating between "thrift" and "vintage." XO

What do you think about some stores calling themselves thriftiques like that of auh2o in nyc? They tend to have a lower price point (like say under 50 dollars) and a less curated selection. I have to wonder if this lends to the confusion to thrift stores and vintage boutiques.

Thank you for such a well-written post! And a reminder, if you see a vintage piece you like, grab it fast ~ whether in a store or online. I can’t count how many times a customer has come back for a specific piece only to find it sold.

For sure that is a great idea. I have shopped at vintage stores for years with great deals and have found so many things that are beautiful. Vintage clothes are really great and unique. However, you must have patience and be willing to spend time to look around with a right attitude. It, sometimes, takes a while to find something really cool. Finding the right size could be a little challenge. Nevertheless, it can be done such as getting altered. Just remember, good stuff will not last very long, so if you see something that you love it, you should get it right away. It is actually very fun and worth it to shop for vintage clothes. You will be amazed. Good fashion sense does not mean brand new clothes, but it means how to make yourself look unique.
