My absolute favorite way of shopping is by rummaging through vintage and consignment shops. Nothing is more rewarding than finding a piece of history that you can be made into your own. I spend many weekend days driving all over Seattle to explore the various second hand stores this city has to offer.
Le Frock
This is by far the best shop to find current designer labels at second hand prices. While still a bit expensive, you will find timeless pieces such as Prada, Chanel, DVF, and Versace.

Fremont Vintage Mall
Spend a hilarious afternoon testing out old furniture from the 70s or trying on oversized Mumu's from the 60s at this underground Vintage Mall in Fremont. From ash trays to chandeliers, this mall has anything you could ever want (that is old, of course).

Fremont Sunday Street Market
Every Sunday from 10am-4pm this Fremont market has various vendors with amazing vintage clothing that can be bargained. Grab a corn on a stick and browse through every vendor because you are bound to find something good.

Lifelong Thrift
This store located right off broadway may not seem like much from first glance, however if you are looking for room decor this is the place to go. At the cheapest prices you will ever see, there are tons of candle holders, frames, and lamps that will fill up a room in no time.

If you have an hour or two, go through this website. It offers clothing, jewelry, and accessories from every decade. I have purchased many things from this website and have loved them all.
