last weekend i visited Cafe Society, a quaint vintage shop in Brookline Hills, just outside of Boston.  Café Society carries vintage clothes, purses, shoes, and jewelry primarily for women, but they also carry men’s and children’s vintage clothes.  while i was there, i bought a green/gray tweed blazer with brown buttons for only $25! it’s very menswear, and will look great with skinny jeans and heels.  i also had my eyes on a blue floral dress with a bow collar and a yellow and gray dress – both very Mad Men.

what i like best about Cafe Society is the woman who works there (i’m assuming the owner).  you know how it sometimes gets awkward when you walk into a store that’s not very busy and you feel like the person working there is watching your every move?  well this store is the opposite.  i searched around the whole store and tried things on with no pressure at all.  i was asked if i needed any help and when i responded that i was all set, i was happily on my own searching through the racks.

for a low-key vintage shopping excursion, drive out to Cafe Society in Brookline Village and let me know what you find!
