Fangirl
Angela Jones dresses like a movie star every day, and she can help you look like one too. The moment you step into her shop, Capricorn Vintage, located near the University of Evansville at 2005 Lincoln Avenue, you feel as though you have been transported to another era, or at least a bigger city where hip boutiques like this are much more common. Jones grew up in Vincennes and earned degrees in graphic design, studio art, and art history before relocating to Evansville. Her personal obsession with vintage turned into a business when she started selling online as a way to pare down her own collection. For the past seven years she has been very successful selling her wares on eBay, earning a reputation there as a respected expert in the vintage field. Now she has brought all that expertise and fabulous clothing to us! Whether you are a vintage connoisseur in everyday life, have an extra-specially glamorous occasion to dress for, or need something unique for costume event, go see Angela for something I guarantee will set you apart from the crowd.
