First of all, let's talk about those windows! I'd venture to say that Bygones has the best window…read moredisplays in Carytown! So creative and inspiring!
Second of all, I love that Shakespeare used the term by-gone in 1611 in his The Winter's Tale!
Recently, my daughter was invited to a Great Gatsby gathering and where would you go to find the perfect outfit? Bygones, of course! We not only found the perfect flapper dress, but we also found some fabulous headpieces, feathered headbands and beaded purses. (Most of the clothing is vintage but they also offer lovely, high quality, reproductions!). There's a men's department in the back for your dapper gents!
We love crinoline! To perk up an otherwise passé dress, add crinoline! They have a large selection of colors here! The store is divided into decades, so you can find just about every era of clothing and accessories at this vintage, retro, funky store. They sell some "rockabilly" dresses, hippie styles, and yes, even disco! They even carry top hats, aviator gear, fishnet stockings and so much jewelry in those elegant glass cases!
In the corner up front, I always look at at vintage greeting cards and postcards and never leave without purchasing a few. And I stopped in my tracks when I saw the glamorous rack of sunglasses! Check out my pic to see my recent haul! I love the cat eye glasses, the antique glass powder jar with the embossed lid, the 1940's Corday clutch and the Whiting and Davis mesh clutch, and the vintage bow brooch!
Expect to drop a pretty penny at this unique boutique, but after all, they specialize in rare items.
I can't stroll through Carytown with stopping at Bygones! By all means, let Bygones be Bygones! Indeed!
