Retroactive Wardrobe
Local vintage clothing
stores provide affordable
and trendy options.
BY RACHEL WILLIAMS
FREELANCE REPORTER
For students looking to update their
wardrobes, a cool look from the past
just might be the next hot tip.
Vintage clothing stores that peddle
affordable, stylish and durable used
clothes are plentiful around campus,
and with so many options, there’s sure
to be a store catering to the perfect
style or era. Here’s a rundown of just a
few stores and their special niches.
Nobody's Baby
Employee Amy Clancy-Cox said No
body’s Baby caters to both men and
women with a wide range of styles.
“This store is very eclectic,” she
said. “We have everything from all dif
ferent ages. Some really wild stuff from
the ‘80s back to the 1880s.”
The store serves the local communi
ty, but buyers from other states have
come to Nobody’s Baby to fill
their own shops with finds,
Clancy-Cox said.
Fashions at Nobody’s Baby come
from estate sales, dealers and trades
brought in by the public. The general
policy with trades is 30 percent cash or
50 percent store credit.
Clancy-Cox said her personal fash
ion philosophy is “go with your mood
and don’t try too hard.”
Wearing vintage clothing can some
times be tricky because people’s body
shapes have changed over the years,
so an easy way to start wearing vintage
is to accessorize, she said.
Vintage, despite some drawbacks,
has many more advantages, Clancy
Cox said.

Ave. The store specializes in vintage and retro clothes and also rents costumes.
“I think vintage clothing holds up
way better than modern clothing,”
she said. “A lot of modern clothing
is meant to fall apart. The earlier
eras, their mission was durability. ”

Eugene Jeans
Eugene Jeans owner Tom Long
prides himself in creating a vintage
store that fills the needs that other
stores neglect. Before he opened his
shop, Long said he took note of
what other stores were doing and
then purposely did the opposite.
While scouting, he realized most
shops featured more women’s than
men’s clothing.
“We didn’t copy anybody when
we opened,” he said. “More than
half the stores is men’s (clothing).”
Long also said he has always fo
cused on more contemporary vin
tage clothing with a special empha
sis on the 1970s.
“A lot of stores do the hoity-toity
vintage: ‘We’re not going to do any
thing newer than 1962.’ That’s not
us,” Long said. “I’m always having
fun, talking to people.”
The store also sells vintage lunch
boxes and records, and Long recently

Over the next fifteen months, the University
Counseling & Testing Center will be undergoing a much
needed remodeling and reconstruction. During this time, you ^^^2 \
may notice noise and other inconveniences that may vary ™
from day to day, and week to week. Moreover, some of our
ways of doing things may change in response to this project.
During this period, the Testing Center is no longer on the
premises. That staff has relocated to 720 East 13th Street,
Suite 302B, next to the Dairy Queen and across from
Sacred Heart Hospital. Their number is 346-3230.
The Center staff invite you to join us in exercising our coping
skills for handling this change. Please know that we remain
committed to providing quality services to students
during this transition time.
