Owner Julian Reeves opened In Retrospect last Saturday, and Greenville can't seem to get enough vintage stuff. "I saw a need in our area for this kind of store," said Reeves. "I've got clothes that are 10 years old to 110 years old. You can't find fashions like these in shopping malls."
Many customers agree. "I love my new blazer!" said Contessa Mathews, a Choctaw High School student. "While the other students in the locker hall at school look so similar in their _______ mall purchases, I stand out in a very good way."
Quality vintage clothing goes even further than fashions. "I'm a fashionista and an environmentalist," said Greenville resident Clare Beckam, "so fashionable, _______ clothing from In Retrospect is such a blessing."
Reeves is thrilled that the customers are so thrilled. "This is my first business venture, and I hope that In Retrospect will last as long as the clothes have," he said.
