Vickie: Hi, well, we might finally be getting Spring here in Chicagoland. It's still nippy at nights, but we have just about anything for any kind of weather here at Vickie's Vintage.

The carousel is filled with jean, dresses, tops, skirts and purses and accessories. 

Even with our lightly used clothing, samples and overstocks, we have a great selection.

A new selection of designer hats just arrived for the rainy season. Great Spring graphics on that tote bag.

Fall 2023 at Vickie's Vintage

 Ad-Free Blog

Hi, I'm Carly, assistant manager at Vickie's Vintage. Now that the hot summer NEON days have past, it is time for back-to-school and back to work. Many offices are re-opening to full-time schedules, so the sweat pants and tee-shirts of the Covid Era are OVER.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

On the carousel we are featuring a classic teacher's outfit, complete with accessories. Don't you love the red shoes with this.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Another red addition is forever red, Hello Kitty complete with purse or coordinated bag.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We have more excitement in some graphic tee-dresses, accessorize with a belt and jacket and it's perfect for the office or schoolroom.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Here's another...orange is one of my favorite colors, and I love the brown tones on this dress.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

For a little sparkle or work, two outfits in denim, always a classic.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Of course it is all about accessories, from hats, to bags, to luggage.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

These greens and earth tones are great with all the beiges and grays shown on the runways.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Don't forget blues...and golds.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Short boots have invaded our shoe shelves, and we have lots of choices.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

New bags have arrived from a Chicago designer. Add some boots for a classic look.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Of course we have matching shoes, isn't this perfect for your lunch, files and computer?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

After this summer, I think PINK will be with us forever. How about these custom purses and shoes?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We aren't displaying a lot of black this year, but more as an accent.

Zoe is upstairs in the bridal salon.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I'm Zoe, your Bridal Manager ready to assist you with all your formal and party needs. 

Champagne colors will be big again this year!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

And of course sparkles, how about textures on this pink champagne knit dress, so fun.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Here's an almost lavender version and of course don't forget our GUYS.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Our guys have been stepping away from the more formal versions and going for striking and understated.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Of course it is all about our model in pale pink and silver...so classic. We have many choices for school formals also.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

If your special event requires a dose of 'DUDE' we have that also, from jackets, printed suits.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I think this is the only bit of NEON we have in the shop right now...but it is so cool, and the orange brings it right into Fall.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

For back to work or the classroom, we have updated  classics. Leather with chinos, and more.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

 White shirts or of course black tees with a sport coat...and you are definitely  in step.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Olive and black, perfect for Fall!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Don't forget to make your bridal appointments so you can get the best attention we can provide for your special events.

And, visit the website for sales and new additions. Have our shipping department take care of your online purchases, or pick them up here.

barbieoldnewgreenredo
