espite the current weather, summer

should soon be peeking around

the corner and welcoming us with
melting ice cream cones, sandy feet, the smell
of barbecue, and freckled shoulders. It’s the
perfect time of year to explore the city, venture
outdoors, and play with your wardrobe. Mixing
up new styles and pieces, layering light fabrics

over wet electric
bathing blue
suits, and Vintage clothes are more desirable for my budget, and really, \..ther
adding where else would you find electric blue leather shorts? — 5.4.9
tanning Save
oil to your your

lotion list is a large part of the appeal in the
hotter months of the year.

This summer a vintage vibe is the aspired
look; worn rompers and floral dresses, one of
a kind blouses and long tank tops, even ripped
shorts and scuffed boots. Mixing up vintage
clothes with contemporary pieces creates an
authentic style that guarantees you won’t be
seen in the same outfit as anyone else, and it
saves you a little bit of money.

F As In Frank, which is one of Vancouver’s
most popular vintage stores, is located at 2425
Main Street (corner of Main and Broadway)
and is packed with one-of-a-kind pieces picked
from all over the world. With a colourful and
often abstract window display, F As In Frank
has the best selection of vintage clothes with
a wide selection of shoes, boots, dresses,

blouses, shorts, and other accessories. Among
a few of my favourites that I have happened
across include a fitted white lacy tank top for
$14, an electric blue leather skirt for $30, a
pair of white ankle boots for $60, and a floral
print romper for $22. Compared to stores like
Aritzia, where a lace tank top costs $59 and

the floral print dress I want is a formidable
$120, vintage clothes are more desirable for my
budget, and really, where else would you find

money for long island ice teas and cold beers
for a day at the beach, or splurge on a trip to
Tofino to take some surf lessons this summer.
Style is sexy, but being original and creative is
even sexier.
