Vintage Crush

There has always been an underlying fear of thrift stores in Park City, but after Macklemore's song Thrift Shop came out, that fear has been replaced by a sort of hankering for them. Like never before, it's been "the cool thing" (mostly among the guys) to go shopping in thrift stores. I sincerely doubt that the majority of these guys are thrift shopping for the fashionably vintage and retro qualities of clothes but nevertheless, its put a new perspective on the act of thrift shopping.

I for one (mind before the song), have found thrift shopping a great way to get clothes that are unique and have the "cutting edge" properties that you simply can not find in most currently manufactured items. Although slightly more time consuming than your standard outlet mall shopping trip, it'll be worth it to get the few exclusive, trend-setting pieces that your wardrobe needs. The more thrift shopping you do, the easier it is to find places that prefer. 

Inside Decades (they told us not to take pictures... oops!)

From my personal preference, I’ve found that Decades (a thrift store located on downtown Salt Lake City) has a greatly diverse and interesting selection of clothes. The name itself it pretty self explanatory; the all completely unique clothes accessories are from all different eras of the twentieth century. Wether your there to just look around or get down-deep thrift shopping done, Decades is the perfect place to engulf yourself in visuals of fashion from years past.  

I highly recommend that if you find your self in Utah... Salt Lake City to be precise, stop by this monumental stop and take a look around. You may find a piece to add character to your wardrobe  and even if you don’t purchase anything, it’s sure to be just a great day trip with your friends!
