Fashion is ever-evolving, growing, and repeating itself. Making fashion into your own personal style involves getting to know all of the types of fashion out there. One way to upgrade your style in a funky new way is to try thrift, vintage, and consignment shops for "new" finds.
My very first store on the Thrift Store Tour was Rock It Again in Washington, D.C. On U Street NW, this store is comfortably situated between several quaint shops, several of them also vintage. This makes my job a little easier too. The first thing one will notice when entering the boutique is how neat and organized it is. Carrying both men's and women's items, shoes, bags, hats, and more are all neatly displayed.
Notable items include, a lovely selection of Ferragamos, fabulous cuff links and brooches, sequined cocktail dresses, and several racks of nice men's blazers. There was even some well-made antique luggage.
Aviyah Jacobi (below) and her partner Clint Pierre scour the country and even overseas to find the lovely items in their store. Friendly and helpful, Jacobi offers suggestions for items that might interest shoppers. They even have a personal shopping service.
My favorite part of the trip was, of course, what I found on this excursion. A lovely vintage satin gold-framed bag with rhinestone closure (below). Listed at $20, but was 50% off that day. A steal to be sure.
