Candace Thompson wears a cool vintage dress, Frye sandals, thrift store belt and white plastic frame sunglasses from North Carolina. She’s an actress and designer’s assistant. “I usually wear a lot of dresses, mostly from thrift stores. I have a secret town outside Chicago that I discovered where I go thrifting. There’s a GIANT salvation army. I spent $50 and get 3 bags full of great stuff.”
