Go green, buy vintage

Fall is upon us, and with it comes the obligation to closet summer clothing and unearth warmer things like sweaters, jackets, and scarves. For some, recycling the same wardrobe year after year is standard practice, while others will be inescapably tempted to wipe their slates clean with new attire. Many of us fall in between those two groups, but whatever your preference, remember that buying vintage (or thrift or consignment) is the greenest and often times most affordable alternative to buying new, and Baltimore is chock full of opportunities to do just that:
