NYC Opera Thrift Shop

This is a pretty heavy post! I just couldn't stop snapping pictures at this wonderful and unique thrift shop that I recently found, locating at 222 East 23rd Street. Some of the clothing comes from the NYC Opera and the money goes to make new costume designs possible. This place really is my heaven! Long flowy dresses with sequins and huge bows, They also have costumes that come straight from the Opera (see images below, but please be aware that you could pass out from the awesomeness of the clothing). I could spend the entire day here. The prices are fairly priced and super affordable-I purchased a Christian Dior cardigan for just $15. Score!











 red dress for $35, might be the biggest regret of my life not getting it =(
