With the weather cooling down, it’s time to clean the summer clothes out of your closet and upgrade your autumn wear – boots, scarves and the all-time favorite hoodies.
Whether you’re looking for business staples or loungewear, Cape Girardeau is the place to shop if you want to look like a star. Seriously. When “Gone Girl” filmed in town a few years ago, movie makers shopped at local thrift and antique stores to create the characters’ looks and endorsed Cape Girardeau’s stores as some of the best they’d ever visited.
With Cape’s secondhand shops, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to look like a star. From retro threads to on-point fashion, racks of clothes offer everything from formal wear to flip-flops. Browsing through them becomes a treasure hunt – with plenty of surprises waiting. And you DIYers can personalize pieces to suit your unique taste.
If fashion isn’t your thing, our local thrift and antique shops offer much more, like vintage home décor perfect for a Fixer Upper farmhouse chic vibe. Plus, there are furniture, appliances, books, movies, toys, you name it – old and new. Find the perfect accent piece for your apartment’s living room or a captivating mystery novel to curl up with on a chilly day.
Even if you’re not looking for anything in particular, take an afternoon to meander through the shops. You never know what you’ll see – maybe even something that brings back memories of your childhood, like a Chia Pet, Furby or NSYNC CD. Happy browsing!
