I've been really into checking out second hand and vintage stores much to the help of another blogger (http://www.stylebytes.net/). She has the cutest outfits and buys a large percentage of them at second hand stores. I've never had much of an eye for second hand clothing but the possibility of finding something great is fun. I recently bought a brown bomber jacket (that I've been receiving complements on) from It's A Wrap (http://www.itsawraphollywood.com/).. It was pretty much new when i bought it and cost $40. I thought it was a steal. The store carries a lot of production clothing worn on studio sets. Many times you can be buying brand new clothing with the tags still on it. Here are some other places that might be work checking out.
