Look to fashion flashbacks to weatherproof your wardrobe during this economic storm
Spring is all about renewal. But since a closet full of new
clothing isn’t in the cards for most of us cash-strapped shoppers,
spring is also a time to get creative. Fashion, like the changing
seasons, is cyclical. Translation: used, throwback pieces can make
powerful comebacks when paired with modern accessories. In that vein,
we asked a few independent vintage and consignment havens — Café
Society, The Closet, and Dame — to take cues from the spring 2009
runways. The results? Recycled clothes become easily wearable, on-trend
wardrobe staples that fit into a recession-ravaged budget. In tough
economic times, vintage finds a new voice.
