[title]Amy Yee travels the country to find the best pieces to stock her vintage shop, and her closet reaps the benefits. She makes the most of her small space by storing extra clothes on a vintage rack from Two Jakes, and stashing accessories in a room-dividing cabinet from Ikea. She proves vintage doesn’t have to be pricey by showing us some of her favorite scores from Goodwill and eBay.
Her favorite NYC stores
Acne Studios 33 Greene St at Grand St; 212-334-8345, acnestudios.com
Yee’s entire wardrobe is vintage, except for items she says never existed in the past, including skinny jeans, which she buys exclusively at Acne. “They make the best basics,” she enthuses of the sophisticated shop.

“It is hands down my favorite vintage-furniture store,” Yee reveals. “Run by a husband-and-wife duo, they do an amazing job at curating their shop, and I frequent often for ideas.”

“This is actually the only vintage-jewelry shop in NYC that I’ve ever made a purchase from,” Yee admits. “I think the shop owner has a really great eye.”
