Be prepared to pay prices to match quality. Things are not cheap here. Also, as in most vintage stores, you won't find really big sizes. Most run in the M range, even though some are marked large, they aren't. Typical vintage. Run smaller. I am 5'5" 140, average size and BMI, most tops would not fit me here. I had a bit of trouble finding it, today they did not have their sign out (I saw it folded up in the store), and google maps guided me a couple storefronts down. Keep looking. It's on sidewalk level and looks like a vintage store window.

The store stocks new inventory weekly and they carry beautiful pieces which span a variety of styles and decades.

My girlfriend & I wanted to know what this shop was all about. To my surprise I found it to be…read more"Clintonville's best-kept-secret." Seriously! This shop has recently changed owners- but more than that- it's NOTHING like the previous shop. What to Wear has great finds, beautifully displayed: plenty of "elbow room!" The staff is happy to help: the salesclerk took time to pull out four men's coats after I asked if he might have a black, full-length size medium. I'd like to keep the "goldmine" a secret BUT, I want them to stay in business-- so give them a try: gently-used (some brand new!) fabulous clothes, jeans, shoes/boots/heels, accessories & more. All at fair prices for what you'll get: name brands in great condition....And I pride myself as being a great thrift-store shopper for some 20-plus years! Enjoy! Marla

Sadly, the thrift store is in the midst of a constant identity crisis. Is it a shoe repair shop? Is it a place to buy used wedding dresses? Is it a thrift store? It's all a little confusing. Also, there is so much stuff crammed into the tiny shop, it is tough to make sense of it all. All that being said, this is still an essential stop on the Fifth Avenue thrift shop hop.

Staff was very friendly but laid back, and let us take our time to browse the store. They carry clothing, jewelry and the Hammitt line of bags (hard to find in Ohio). I did not see any shoes, so don't think they have those. The prices are on the mid-higher end, but they did have a few sale racks with 50% off items. I loved that they have really diverse styles from trendy to work clothes.

I had really high hopes for Ladybird in the Short North. My best friend and I stopped in today and…read moreimmediately loved the selection--the clothes are adorable, stylish, and chic, and we were genuinely considering purchasing several items. Unfortunately, the customer service was a completely different story. It's a very small boutique, yet we were never acknowledged--not a hello, not an offer to help, nothing. Meanwhile, the manager/owner appeared completely occupied with another woman who dominated the conversation at length about having so many clothing options that she couldn't decide what to wear to an upcoming event. We browsed for quite a while and were fully prepared to spend money, but after being completely ignored, we ultimately decided to leave. For a small boutique, the personal shopping experience should be part of what makes you want to shop there rather than online or at a larger retailer. The merchandise at Ladybird was lovely, but unfortunately the lack of even basic acknowledgment made us feel as though our business simply wasn't important. Such a shame, because we really wanted to love this store.

I'm shocked that this fairly long standing business in the Short North hadn't been added to Yelp…read moreyet, well.. Until I just added it now. It's connected to the White Castle building, snuggled right near the entrance to the apartments, Penzone, and Orange Theory. They sometimes have mannequins out front to call attention to it but it can be hard to miss. Once inside the staff is incredibly friendly, always providing help and suggestions when needed. The aesthetic of the store is pretty much black and white. I've never seen a lot of color here and when I do, it tends to be more neutral tones. The clothing can be fun and unique or even classy depending on what you're looking for. I will add that it's not very size inclusive. As a size 6 I was having a hard time finding something that was true to size. Overall, it fits nicely in the Short North and prices compare to the other boutiques in the area. It's definitely worth a stop, especially if you are a tiny person that prefers a fairly monochromatic wardrobe.

It might be my new favorite local clothing spot. I was delighted to stumble upon this woman-owned small business this past weekend (how did I not know about this?!). The woman working the counter I am now realizing may be the owner? And she was incredibly charming, chic, and helpful. A perfect stylistic representation of the store itself and the perfect model to display looks that I assume she is choosing/buying herself! I ended up with a super cute black and white denim skirt covered in crescent moons, and two amazing pairs of retro jeans. Epic 90's beige cargo jeans-- totally utilitarian raver badassery-- and black boyfriend-cut also super 90's jeans that somehow make my legs look super long. I seriously can't wait to wear them everything I bought! I pretty much liked everything I tried on and I got my top 3 faves. If you love neutral colors (they ONLY sell neutrals x3) in fresh, funky and retro styles this is 100000000% your store. I'll be back as soon as I feel like I've waited long enough for them to get a bunch of new stuff in :)
