Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop Schedules Vintage Hats, Gloves, Purses, Clothing and Baby Items Event

The blue smocked member volunteers at Assistance League® Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, located at 3521 Golden Gate Way in Lafayette, find this famous landmark a most appropriate venue for the Vintage Hats, Gloves, Purses, Clothing & Baby Items event that is scheduled for Tuesday, July 8, beginning at 10:00 AM.  Relive less complicated times with styles that have withstood fashion whim and frenzy, all marked at user friendly prices.

Let an assortment of dresses, outfits, and coordinates appropriate for day and night time define your wardrobe.   Find that smart looking purse, as in a leather clutch, novelty bag or handbag reminiscent of the 60’s and 70’s, and a sassy hat to top off the look.   As for the finishing touch, an ample selection of gloves not always found in department stores promise to be at your fingertips.   This just in:  Step up your fashion game when you step out at night in evening attire previously owned but infrequently worn by a cruise ship entertainer!  (I cannot divulge the source.)

As for baby items, clothes and everyday articles abound, while specialty items such as baby themed planters provide a whimsical nuance.   A man’s leather wallet still in its original box, brief cases and attaches a la Mad Men make this an all family pursuit.  Magazines that evoke earlier times and trends offer additional insights.  The Vintage event continues into the following week if the inventory allows; so you want to plan accordingly.
