American Vintage is rare find

While waiting to be seated at the well-known Blu Jam Cafe on Melrose Avenue, I decided to explore the nearby shops.

Turns out I barely had to walk 10 feet before I struck gold. I’m always in search of fabulous vintage anything, and in my experience, it’s hard to find. American Vintage has everything from cowboy boots to floral ’80s rompers, and it’s all incredibly affordable.

The store is a particularly good find for petite shoppers. I was only there for 20 minutes, but I found two adorable floral rompers, each for $23, as well as a light pink dress for $18 that will make for a perfect beach cover-up .

Though not necessarily the go-to shop for high-end vintage pieces, if you’re in search of inexpensive, yet trendy vintage clothing, American Vintage is worth checking out.
