Fashion Notes from the Midwest

One of my favorite things about going home to the Midwest is the opprotunity to go vintage shopping. There is no better place to go shopping for vintage clothes than Midwest. Clothing and accessories are always inexpensive and (usually) in better condition. While I did not get to go shopping as much as I would have liked there are couple of new places on the scene in Madison, WI that residents should take not of.

These pictures are from Epoch Vintage located on State Street. I was impressed by the low prices of shoes and accessories here and the condition of the items on sale. This is a new store since I've lived in Madison, but I think it is a good addition to the scene. It should be noted that the owner was very obliging when it came to taking pictures of me and my sister-in-law Jennifer.






I also managed to make a trip to the Madison Antique Mall. While there was a very small selection of clothing I did find the gorgeous tooled leather bag pictured below for only $23. Many of the stalls will give you discounts if you pay in cash.


And I just wanted to point out my sister's adorable outfit for the 4th of July. The theme for her outfit is 4th of July 1976. You can't really tell from the picture, but her scarf says "Spirit of '76" on it. Awesome. I'm a fan of theme outfits in case you were wondering.


This doesn't really have anything to do with fashion, but I just have to show off how cute my niece is.
