The 1920s and 1960s seem particularly well-represented in womens- wear, while a gentleman whose tastes run through the 1970s or 1990s will likewise find treasures. Let yourself spend just a little more time and money than you’re expecting — or, to hell with it, go bananas. Blow $200 on the purple 1980s fringed jacket. Throw $500 at the 1930s black bear fur coat. Make like a Pepsi-commercial pyrotechnic gaffe and set fire to $700 for the sleeveless black T from Michael Jackson’s 1984 Victory Tour. Too ambitious? There’s a clearance rack in the back with prices as low as $5. e e e B E S T C H A R M S T O R E SPICE SCOTTSDALE 3217 N.
