Vintage & secondhand shops in Plzeň, Czechia

UPDATED in September 2023 Every time I travel somewhere and know I will have some time on my hands I check for some vintage and secondhand shops that might be in the city and that look good enough to pay them a visit. It is not difficult to find lists and articles or even maps with vintage and secondhand shops when it comes to capital cities or big cities in general but when you want to find shops in a city that is not frequented that much by people that are into fashion it is quite a problem.

Yellow pleated skirt

| white sweater: TimeOut | yellow scarf: vintage | yellow pleated skirt: thrifted | white purse : vintage | | black sneakers on platform : Vagabond | golden headband | golden-copper handcuff | So apparently this was one of the last warm days of this year. I had snatched the skirt in a secondhand shop, I had instantly fell in love with it, although it has a more summer feel I wore it the next day. I wore a white cotton tights to keep myself warm since the fabric of the skirt is quite light. I combined it with my favourite white sweater (that I unfortunatelly don´t wear often because it leaves white hairs on everything and everyone I meet when wearing it). I also donned my now favourite shoes you had the opportunity to see a few times already on my blog. I also wore golden/copper accessories that shined in the sun nicely. So this is the outfit in which I enjoyed the possibly last warm day of 2015. The weather forecasts say that the temperatures are about t...
