It's time for the monthly vintage sale in Wicker Park. This month's theme is "Retro Rocks." Not sure if that refers to geology or Buddy Holly and the like.
If you're in the shopping mood this weekend, head out to Six Corners and check it out!
Vintage Heaven, 1550 N. Milwaukee, 2nd floor, August 13-14, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m., vintageheavenchicago.blogspot.com
I have a fashion emergency! Last night I was invited to a 80's prom night party held tonight. I live in the far northwest suburbs. I need to find a vintage prom dress quick! Of course I don't have much to spend and will only wear it once. Thanks!
Easy peasy, go to Ragstock on Belmont and Clark. They have racks and racks of old prom dresses, many of the loud 80s variety.
If you don't find one to your liking, head downstairs to Hollywood Mirror. Theirs are louder and much more sparkly, but tend to be more expensive than upstairs.
