Mannequin Boutique
Weds - Sat 11a-6p; Sun 12p-4p

Okay, so Mannequin!! You guys! It's the thrifting maven/vintage lovin/budget conscious/do-gooders dream. Mannequin Boutique is at 1311 Main Street in OTR's Gateway District. It's a "hip women's clothing, accessories, art, antiques & gift boutique featuring upscale & vintage merchandise." AND ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY. Isn't that amazing?

This past weekend CincinNatalie & I got to go down to Mannequin to play dress up. While she went formal (see her AMAzinG floor length gold skirt HERE) I found lace up leather pants from the 1980s begging for a stroll.

I have never worn real leather pants before. Oh. My. Gosh. Talk about impossible to get on your body. I'm serious. Like jump up & down in the dressing room & yank them up in mid-air tiiiiiight. & you have to be even more of an acrobat to get them off!!!!

Worth it.

Emma at Mannequin told me the present day version of these retail for $700. As of Saturday, this vintage pair was still at Mannequin for $120. Have I convinced you to stop by yet? Because you so totally should :D
