Friday evening I stopped by Vintage Vixen’s opening party and played paparazzo for a few hours – by the end of the night I’d been asked if I was covering the event for a magazine, so apparently I seemed pretty into it! But as we know, I was just out shopping and casually/maniacally snapping away for The Charlotte (check 'em out later this week for my shots of gorgeous Nour, with whom I quickly bonded over a mutual appreciation of vintage capes.)
Sportcoat – A.P.C.
Scarf – Zara
Shirt – Uniqlo
Pants – Opening Ceremony
This is what I wore, an outfit that – oops!
– includes almost nothing vintage. And I even “got the memo” :/ But what did I buy? The wool felt wide brim
Stetson-esque hat seen in the first picture and a wonderfully unique Southwest-inspired belt that I can’t
properly describe (pictures will be provided later to do it justice.) And the
experience? The men’s section is tucked away in a corner, which could give a
young man the impression that he’s wandered into Oprah’s closet and found, in
the back, the space left over for Stedman. But don’t be fooled by the intimate
quarters - you’re not in the Keebler Elf tree anymore! They've got plenty of man-sized suiting, ties and even some cowboy boots for good measure, although I personally prefer all my vintage
mixed together on the floor so that interesting and alterable “opposite-sexed”
pieces are more readily apparent when shopping. Any other man shoppers have
thoughts to share?
Thanks must be said to owner Carole and her
family for putting on such a show – be sure to stop in as it really looks great
in there!
