Prabal Gurung
My Dress
Spring is here! This weekend the weather will be perfect for some spring wardrobe shopping. While perusing at the runway shows online, I noticed a recurring theme of collections based on the past - 70's bohemian, 40's ladylike floral prints, and 80's rocker chic. What better place to search for some fun spring dresses, than a vintage store! SHAREEN VINTAGE is 1000 square feet of vintage heaven, for women seeking unique pieces. Located in Union Square apartment, this gem is discreet and for those "in the know" - there is no indication of its existence visible from the street. Racks are separated by theme - such as long, day dresses, evening, skirts and a designer rack. Boxes are filled with funky rope belts, frame bags and scarves.
The staff is incredibly helpful, honest and gives great styling tips. If they think a dress doesn't look good on you, they will refuse to sell it to you (I’ve seen it happen). By special request, Shareen can find a fur for you according to your specifications - and they are usually priced under $350. She is a stylist and vintage collector, based on Los Angeles (she has a store there too), who comes out to the store at least once a month. Be forewarned, this place is not for the modest and only for women- there are no dressing rooms.
I found a pretty white and black polka dot dress, inspired by this Prabal Gurung dress, for $42. It looks amazing with a thick black belt cinching the waist, and red lips.
