Finding Fashion--Right Here in Napa

10.05.11

The sun has finally decided to come out and play: The warm sweaters and jackets will fall back into our closets and we can finally go shopping for all those cute spring clothes we saw on the runways last fall.

Napa has limited choices for shopping and über trendy clothes are not usually available at the outlets. But instead of trekking to Walnut Creek, try some local businesses. It’s quicker, just as effective shopping, saves gas -- and it supports Napa.

 The good thing about fashion is, unless it’s avant-garde haute couture, it’s easily recycled. Ready-to-wear shows like Alexander Wang feature luxe items that can easily be found in thrift stores for $20 or less.

However, there is a digging process involved. The clothes aren’t just presented on mannequins in perfectly styled outfits. It takes a keen eye and fashion-savvy intuition to find the perfect items. Here just a few pieces found in local shops that can help give style ideas of how to separate the bad from the good.
