										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>I never felt inspired to shop for the perfect vintage wear while living in Nashville, but in London the idea seems completely natural.  While preparing to attend a fancy dress housewarming party as Mr. Lucas and Miss Brahms from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlCr6KsDYbw">Are You Being Served?</a>, Drew and I discovered several great places to shop for unique pieces of clothing.</span></p>
<p><span>Near Victoria Station there are several charity shops which stock gently used and well cared-for household items as well as clothing.  There is also a brilliant vintage shop, called <a href="http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1195/45630.php">Retromania</a>, packed to the brim with mensâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> and ladiesâ€<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> wear.  Drew rather quickly found a suit and shoes; we deliberated a bit about the tie&#8230;  Facilities for trying on are available in the back of store to ensure a good fit before getting home.</span></p>
<p><span>On Monmouth Street, of Seven Dials, there is a lovely shop called <a href="http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Shops/Pop_Boutique/d4db/">Pop</a> that feels very similar to a designer boutique – without the heart stopping prices.  Facilities for trying on are also available to Pop customers and the staff are quite helpful and outgoing.  I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the selection of quality pieces.</span></p>
<p><span>After donning our costumes, we joined the party in Ealing.  Meeting lots of lovely people, seeing a beautiful home in a lovely English neighborhood, enjoying deep conversations, and learning how to do “the caterpillar” was worth the joys of late night London transport.</span></p>
