Chez Chiffons Vintage

There is no other form of shopping that gives me as much of a high as vintage clothing shopping. It's my addiction.

So when I spot a new vintage store there is virtually nothing anyone can do to stop me from going inside and perusing the racks. Nothing. Come hell or high water I am going in, taking notes and plotting my purchases.

Which is exactly what happened when this adorable new shop full of fabulous vintage from the 20s - 90s opened near the Canal Saint Martin. The problem at the time was that I was seriously pregnant and the thought of trying on anything with a waist was unfathomable.

So I stared at the shoes but then remembered that my feel were swollen too, so I just complimented the women who owned the place for having such a great shop and promised to come back when I had my figure back.

Only problem is that day hasn't really come yet, so everytime I pass in front of the shop I stare longingly at the items in the window, like the insanely beautiful pink Sonia Rykiel sweater dress with the still-too-small waist that I spotted just recently.

I still have some work to do before I can make any serious purchases here, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't stop by and take advantage of the excellent selection and affordable prices.
