So, all the glamorous, well-dressed people at Fashion’s Night Out made you realize your wardrobe might need some freshening up.
But the 5th Avenue stores (even after the Fashion’s Night Out mark-downs) don’t exactly fit your budget. Don’t despair. The Eye’s got you covered with some suggestions that’ll make your closet (and your wallet) jump for joy.
If you’re feeling adventurous and ready to make the trek, Brooklyn takes the cake hands down when it comes to vintage and thrift.
Beacon’s Closet, Guvnor’s Vintage Thrift, and Monk’s Vintage Thrift are just a few of the gems awaiting you on Brooklyn’s hipper-than-thou streets. Keep it simple and walk down 5th Avenue in Park Slope--you’ll come across these and many other cheap goodies.
A word of advice: Thrifting requires more patience than designer shopping. Keep an open mind and bring along some friends to help comb the racks and you’ll snag a jackpot accessory or jacket in no time.
