If you are looking for couture fashion on a budget, you will want to make some time tomorrow for a special event at The New York City Opera Thrift Shop. Proclaimed by Vogue as “the highest quality thrift shop in New York City”. The City Opera Thrift Shop is hosting their bi-annual Spring Vintage – A Vintage Affair on Thursday, February 24 from 4:00 - 8:00 PM.
