Grace Lee at Green Village junk shop on Starr. — Photo by Molly Hamilton. Click to see full version.Perusing the streets on a weekday afternoon, I found Grace just off the Jefferson stop in a July-friendly sheer mini-dress, getting ready to brave the cluttery cave-of-wonders that is the Green Village junk shop on Starr Street.
Grace J. Lee, 21
Intern for Frenchkiss Records and Tell All Your Friends PR
What are you looking for at Green Village?
I just moved into the neighborhood and I need a coffee table, or storage for my room.
What were you going for with today’s ensemble?
I just wanted to mix a "floral" with tough boots. I don’t know. I hate myself.
Where do you usually pick up clothes?
Ideally I would like to shop at Acne, Opening Ceremony, Oak… But realistically I peruse the internet for "deals." Or go to thrift stores in Maryland. I got the dress from my roommate. The bag’s from
Urban Jungle.
What are your least favorite, and favorite summer trends?
Least favorite: baggy jean shorts. I’m still warming up to harem pants. I like bright colors and midriff tops.
