Between the mothballs and the bedbugs, a trip to the vintage store can be a dicey experience.
Not so at the newly opened Vintage Connection, where owner Heather Waity’s carefully edited inventory will bring your days of pawing through overpriced T-shirts to an end.
She’s been collecting clothes for years while traveling the country. So it was only a matter of time before she opened a shop of her own. She’s filled the store with selections from her favorite eras: accessories from the ’80s, eveningwear from the ’60s, and ’50s jewelry, just to name a few. A recent haul of sparkly dresses, rhinestone jewelry, and beaded clutches may be the answer to your holiday wardrobe dilemma.
Waity scours flea markets and estate sales for fresh stock every Monday and Tuesday, so you’ll want stop back frequently.
Because the fashion bug is the only one you won’t mind being bitten by.
Vintage Connection, 701 South Ninth Street (267-528-1625 or shopvintageconnection.com).
