There's nothing better than telling friends about a good find. Now imagine that one good find, was multiplied by 1,000. That would be the equivalent of Modern Vintage Chicago.
The popular bi-annual shopping event held at the Randolph Street Market returned for its third season as part of Fashion Focus Chicago. With bargains galore, many gathered to see what vintage steals they could find. And with decadent jewelry and mink stoles galore, it was not hard.
YES! I LOOK FORWARD TO #GROWINGYOUNGER

April Francis of TheHauteCloset.com was on hand to give a few styling and vintage finding tips. "The easiest [vintage] to look for is jewelry… And when it comes to vintage, look for a piece that speaks to you," explained April. "But it's all about things that you like… Or will speak to you."
