Living on West Queen West here in Toronto we have a huge variety of high quality vintage stores within a hop skip and a jump of us. We try our very best to introduce you to as many of these as possible.Of course, not every vintage store reduces us to excited little giggling fashionistas. A store very close to our house, Common Sort, has the habit of leaving us very disappointed.
Common Sort is located on Queen in cozy Parkdale and though they do have some interesting items and somewhat reasonable prices, their selection of clothes tends to be lacking. Not only do they have an excess of ugly clothes (which is great I guess for the ever growing hipster popular in the area) but are totally lacking in small and large sizes. Between the two of us, we've only ever found ONE ITEM OF CLOTHING THAT WILL FIT IN THIS STORE. And it's not due to lack of trying.
We will say that their accessories are rather cute, and that they do have an okay selection of shoes (but, again, good luck if you have bigger feet)
The verdict: If you are a size medium hipster; have fun! If not, don't bother. Its not worth the time.
Wooot! Way to tell it like it is! Stick it to the common man! :P
