Shareen Vintage is one my top go-to shopping spots in NYC. Nestled in a charming brownstone in the heart of Chelsea, the rooms are lined with racks of treasures, many slightly modernized for the today-girl-vibe.
I’ve purchased numerous dresses — for work, casual outings, dress-up, most for about $45 each, which is a steal anywhere, especially in New York.
Founder, Shareen Mitchell, writes an entertaining newsletter and I enjoy her personal words of wisdom. She’s quite a character with a deep soul. A recent one was especially good so I’m sharing it here. There have been many junctures in life when these rules would’ve helped a whole lot. Thank you Shareen, I’ll be back to your wonderful store soon…
