In preparation for Rocky Horror Picture Show on Halloween night, my roommates and I ran frantically around Salt Lake City in search of "uniquely appropriate" attire. In our quest we stumbled upon a store known as Decades on South State Street. I was immediately quite taken with this shop. As a vintage store Decades offers everything from colorfully striped down jackets from the 1970's to dresses with poofs and ruffles galore that must have been from the 80's. This store has a very unique feel to it, as it seems to take the roll of a classy secondhand shop. The store has nearly every type of style to offer. I often found that a large proportion of their merchandise would make for an excellent addition for any costume party, however in addition to these somewhat outrageous outfits there was also a substantial amount of items that could be worn with nearly any everyday outfit. I was a little disappointed to find out however that this store isn't really a haven for struggling college students. Being that these clothes were considered "vintage" prices were relatively high on nearly everything in the store. Despite this fact, I still find this store extremely entertaining and enjoyable. I believe its an excellent place that reminds us of Salt Lake Cities history, as it is located on State Street which is somewhat known for its traditional stores and signs.
Vintage seems to be code for expensive old clothes, but Pips nearby has much more reasonable prices. Those two blocks of state street are becoming to home to a mini-use clothing district, worth visiting once in a while.
