Shopping-Shabby Chic/Vintage style
 

Can anyone please tell me if there is any antique/vintage fashion (chic and trendy style) place around in Washington,D.C.? Because I 'm so tired of seeing all these brand names malls in D.C..

A couple of thoughts for you... There's a store called Niagara on 18th Street in Adams Morgan (it's actually in the basement of a record store called DCCD). The owner designs her own stuff and also carries a range of vintage clothes - the stuff is great, but sometimes a little pricey.<BR><BR>There is also a store in Arlington (out Wilson Blvd. near Seven Corners) called Now! Music and Fashion, which carries a bunch of vintage clothing at very good prices.<BR><BR>Finally, try Meeps on U Street (at 16th St., give or take a block) - more great, funky vintage clothing. And there's a store called Millenium next door with cool vintage furniture and housewares.

Thanks, I'll definitely try going there.I find shopping at vintage stuff very fun and challenging, anyways, thanks for your reply.

Beverley: You're in luck. Go to http://www.jitterbuzz.com/frameset.html . Those folks have already scouted the vintage scene in the DC area. They're always hunting for period clothes to wear to their jitterbug/Lindy Hop dances. Great reading, and even some good diner tips!
