Weekly Wanderings: Store B Vintage

feather_hats

Last week, while in Chicago, I stumbled into Store B Vintage on Milwaukee and was immediately saddened to think I hadn't been there before. It was like a vintage wonderland with home wares and great quality vintage jewelry and clothing. I wandered around in rather a daze until I found this Oscar de la Renta 1970's jumpsuit and I had to try it on. Sadly, the waist was uber tiny at just a 23" and I couldn't zip it up, but I made a second round after chatting up the owner and asking to take photos. Guys, enjoy the feast for your eyes and please go in there if you have access to it, it's fantastic. You know I didn't leave empty handed, but I'll share my special treat with you in an outfit post this week. Let's just say it's Coach circa 1990.
