This Saturday I escaped Tampa and headed south to Sarasota. My initial plan was to hit a garage sale for vintage I had read about on Craigslist, visit The White Elephant, and then stop by the Ringling Museum. I managed two of those three things...Ringling next time!
Here we have The White Elephant Exchange Antique Mall!
This place is a large store that is divided into sections by vendor. I was deeply attracted to this one vendor's little corner - as you can see why! She had a little t.v. that was playing a reel of 50s fashion shows with an announcer making relevant (and corny) commentary in the backround. I loved being transported in time while viewing her lovely displays of vintage Chanel shoes, jewelry and trinkets. Just around the corner were some really lovely dresses and slips. Here's a picture of me with some of my selects draped over my arm. I got a few really cute dresses for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend stopping by this place if you are ever in Sarasota. So charming!
