Not-So-Spooky Salem #2: Modern Millie Vintage and Consignments

Over the past few days since I came up with this blog idea, I started compiling a list of "all-things-awesome" about the city of Salem. There is actually enough to keep me going for everyday of the month! Now let's see if I can actually keep up with writing a new post for everyday of the month. I've  With a list that big, it was hard to figure out exactly where to begin. As I sat here at my desk at my grown-up job, I started people watching as I normally do. I couldn't help but notice some of the atrocious wardrobe choices of the day. Anyone who knows me well knows that I kinda despise modern fashion as a whole. I hate going clothes shopping for this very reason. I can never find anything I want to buy. Leggings and acid wash jeans and off the shoulder big sweaters. Egads, it's like we've never done this before, people! 

But that's when it hit me! I knew exactly where to start! My go-to place for clothes! If you're looking for a spot to find fun, vintage threads at a reasonable price and if you like stores like The Garment District, why not give Modern Millie Vintage and Consignments a try! They're located at 3 Central Street in Salem which is right off of the pedestrian mall on Essex Street. They also have a second location in Newburyport. The stores should be pretty easy to spot considering they always have such jaw-droppingly gorgeous window displays like this one:

I really and truly have a hard time leaving this store without a bag in my hands. They have everything! Here you'll find beautiful vintage dresses (I actually bought my wedding dress here), fun skirts, hats for all occasions, gorgeous shoes, gloves, scarves, vintage aprons and even old school lingerie! I'm talking legit heavy satin nightgowns, folks, not your grandma's flannel nightdress ;). The staff is always super nice and helpful too. Living a 5-minute walk away from the front door of this place has been dangerous for my wallet! If it wasn't for those pesky bills and rent getting in the way, I'd be in there every day! 

So next time, instead of hitting the mall up the road for some new threads, why not give Modern Millie's a try? You won't be disappointed :).
