The thrift store is a great place to run for a last-minute look for a special occasion. Thrift stores are like department stores…there is so much variety it’s almost one-stop shopping. With Valentine’s Day coming up, we hit up some of our favorite East Bay (Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley) thrift and vintage stores to find some cute looks to wow our sweeties on date night.
There are so many different approaches you can take with Valentine’s Day style. Do you go sweet or sexy? Chic or carefree? It depends on your personal style, your beau and where he’s taking you, so we kept an open mind and picked outfits for every variety of V-Day.
