Sherry’s Yesterdaze Vintage Clothing & Antiques

I am not much of an antiques shopper, but since I was in the neighborhood I decided to stop at Sherry’s Yesterdaze Vintage Clothing and Antiques store this afternoon. This is where Brett finds all of his funky outfits for our Unilocal events, and I thought I’d see what was inside.
Sherry’s is located on Florida Avenue, just south of Hillsborough, and across the street from The Refinery, Mauricio Faedo’s Cuban bakery, and the Red Star Rock Bar. Sherry’s can be found in a one-​story, pastel-​colored building.
The store offers a large range of vintage clothing and accessories dating from the late 1800’s to the early 1990’s, for women, men and children. Plus they have a huge selection of vintage jewelry, both fine and costume. They also carry a fun and funky variety of furniture, collectibles, household and décor items with an emphasis on mid-​century modern (1940’s — 1970’s).
I started my walking tour around the store in the Men’s clothing area, and had a good snicker at all of the «Pimp Daddy» shoes and hats. There were all sorts of vintage zoot suits, buckskin fringe jackets, and Hawaiian shirts. You’ll find quite the selection of wide and narrow ties, hats, bowties, suspenders, cummerbunds, and cowboy boots.
In the back room were all of the household items, and crazy home décor displays. Old magazines, records, books, vintage board games, bar glasses, and kitchen items. I found a set of Bakelite dishes which looked suspiciously like what my Mom had in her kitchen. There were all sorts of «shell» items from Florida, and silly artwork made out of coconut shells. Lots of collectable craziness to compliment any themed party. Back out in the main room were old prom dresses, gently-​used clothing, shoes, accessories, and all sorts of hand-​me-​down jewelry.
I guess that I would describe this store as eclectic, but also a lot of fun. If you have a need for a vintage costume, then you should definitely pay them a visit. If you’re looking for awesome tiki lounge drink ware, then this is your place!

So I guess I went antiquing last week, as I visited here and another spot while waiting for lunch to open. This may have been my first time in an antique store, as I’m having trouble recalling having done this previously. I must say that I was quite entertained by all the cool stuff! It was also strange seeing a number of things that I remember when I was younger in an antique shop. There were so many clothes, signs, dishes, and other stuff from yester year. The 70s clothing section was my favorite, particularly the male platform shoes. I need to generate an excuse to need and wear them! All of the dishes looked like my grandmother’s cupboard, and if they’d had furniture with plastic, I may have been confused as to where I actually was. The buttons, stickers and such from the presidential campaigns of Dukakis, Bush I, and others were cool. I also liked the old pictures of people, houses and more. My wife and I enjoyed our flashback/​time in this store, and I’m sure we’ll come back and buy a few things.

We stopped in here briefly and out of curiosity after visiting the Japanese festival event from across the street this past weekend.
As with most other vintage stores, this one tends to have the similar entertainment value and variety as far as your selection of era clothing from the last century. You can also find some decent pieces for costumes if you’re creative enough. For example, maybe a few pieces of pirate clothing for the Gasparilla event. In the back room, there are many items of memorabilia for sale. For example, old timey beer/​liquor bottles, old-​school early last century Coca-​Cola memorabilia, comic books, figurines from the 50s, old timey glassware sets, etc.
If you like vintage stuff and rummage sales, etc. this is probably the store for you. I personally would only come here if I specifically need costume pieces or on some sort of scavenger hunt for some miscellaneous, random crap.
Happy shopping!

I love this store. So much fun classic vintage stuff. Old car ads to go-​go boots and snazzy jewellery. Fashion, home décor, or just to explore, this is a great place. Refinery is next door and Independent downtown the block. (Red Star Rock Bar across the street)

Wonderful selection of vintage stuff of all kinds. Lots of really unique clothes and accessories.

What a great place for nostalgic items. There were so many eras to choose clothing from. They had every piece of clothing you could think of. Gloves, hats, shoes, even down to broaches. In the back room there were household items. A very nice variety and everything was fairly priced.

Really like this store. I love how each decade of clothes is organized accordingly. I love how there’s a price to rent or buy. I love all the head pieces, purses, shoes, dresses, hats, and jewelry.
There is also a back room with flash back home decs and toys. Totally feel like I’m 4 years old again shopping with my mom!!! FUN fun!

I make a point to make a stop to Sherry’s Yesterdaze when I’m back in town. Great place, lots of great stuff, affordably priced.

Just got some cute scarves and a pair of sunglasses. Adorable shop and awesome customer service.

I love all things vintage and this is my favorite place in Tampa to hunt down a piece without breaking the bank. I also love it for unique gifts! I came in last Christmas time to look for little stuff for my husband’s stocking and found that she had new oldstock Velcro wallets for a song! I got a new yet vintage The Who wallet and the hubs was delighted. I also got him a vintage country music magazine with his fave Olivia Newton John on it that he loved. So much fun to browse in there! They have great condition vintage clothes and housewares that I find to be more reasonably priced than, say, La France in Ybor. They also had bags of mismatched and broken vintage jewelry for the craft lovers like me! The owner, Sherry, is a very awesome gal who I had a great time talking to too. I highly recommend a visit if you want a fun, kitschy shopping trip.

A real gem for the vintage lover. Friendly staff. Lots of unique items to browse through and the prices are affordable. I fell in love with it the moment I walked in. I could literally spend hours in this place and I bet you could too!

Ok, so you know how placing tupperware in the microwave changes it’s make-​up, texture and color, right? Well, that’s because it’s wrong and used tupperware should never be sold, specifically to people like Mark H. who like old school tupperware and brings it home to undermine his girlfriend who is absolutely freaked out about it. Gross. This store has a lot of great stuff, I really love the fashion books from the past, namely the book of Wedding fashions that goes from the 1800’s to the 1960’s! It smells nice inside unlike some antique shops, and the service allows you to browse freely. There’s tons to look at and you can easily lose yourself in it. While other shops usually specialize in reproductions of old stuff, this store has the actual old stuff, so it was built to last and sadly, has a price tag to match.

Went there for the first time today because I was in desperate need of a 70s Disco dress for a party. The owner, Sherry, was there and was extremely helpful. She showed me all the places to look and explained how they even rented themed outfits. Before coming here, I had looked online but all the costumes were cheesy and stereotypical. I had also tried places like Goodwill but found the choices very limited and had an exhausting time finding what I needed. After going here, I not only found a very beautiful, form-​flattering, affordable, 70s style dress for the disco party tonight, but I found the perfect earrings and hair accessory to accompany my outfit. But that’s not all! I also found a very va-​va-​voom 50s pin-​up inspired dress to wear to my friend’s wedding next weekend. I’m so happy I went there and I really can’t emphasize how nice and helpful Sherry was at helping me find exactly what I needed.

I absolutely love this place. They have everything from costumes to décor. Here I can expand my zippo lighter collection, buy a Halloween outfit, a mid century lamp or five, and everything vintage goodness. Yesterday I bought the most perfect Tupperware canister in a bright 70’s orange. Just an awesome store.

Why 4 stars? Because the selection is awesome, but it’s pricey.

Definitely one of the best consignment shops I’ve ever been to. The day before hosting the Unilocaltucky Derby, I needed a Kentucky Derb-​style outfit, and Sherry’s Yesterdaze gave me a boat load of options. There were four bins full of all kinds of hats that fit the bill (pun alert) as well as many vests, jackets, and bow ties. I definitely only needed to make one stop on my hunt for a great costume.
The only negative for me, is the price. It’s not Sherry’s fault, because everyone is doing it these days… but what happened to the time when you buy a bunch of hand-​me-​downs and it only costs a few bucks? My vest, hat, and bow tie ran me about $ 80! Pretty crazy for just a bunch of super-​used apparel.
That being said… I now know that I can walk into SD’s and basically guarantee I’ll find what I’m looking for… and I guess that is pretty priceless.

I was in Sherry’s Yesterdaze earlier this week. I am a customer of over 10 years.
love this store and everyone there

Holy moly.
We came back from a cruise and I was disappointed I didn’t get to purchase anything truly unique. To cheer me up, my boyfriend looked up vintage stores and this was the closest one to where we were at. Oh my gahhh I am obsessed!!! They have so, so many unique articles of clothing, accessories (hats, scarves, shoes), coats, etc.
The owner let me do my shopping without hustling me. I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything at all but left spending more than I was planning! However, majority of the things are decently priced, depending on what you are looking for. I didn’t manage to find any handbags, but left happy with my purchases. My stole was around $ 70, sunglasses at $ 25, and my hat at $ 35.
Very, very cute stuff! I’ll be coming back next time I’m in tampa.

This place is radtastic. You want some old school Tupperware? You know that Rubbermaid caca they sell at Sweetbay and Wal-​Mart self-​destructs after 50 uses, whislt Tupperware from 1967 is still alive and straight up maintaining freshness. You want some old orange juice jugs with the matching glass set? Vintage shirts? Stickers? WHAT DO YOU WANT to bring back the nostalgia of the 60s, 70s and 80s??? HUH??? Well, Sherry has that shit! I’ve spent so much coin in there, it should be called «Sherry’s This is Why You’re Ass is Broke.»

I first checked out this place when I was dressing up as Princess Peach as part of a Super Mario Bros Halloween group costume. Annnnd guess what, they actually had a hot pink 80’s prom dress with ruffled sleeves in my size. PERFECT for Princess Peach! You see — the thing about Yesterdaze is — they have everything! Whenever I have gone in there looking for a vintage item or outfit, for whatever purpose, I have found it. So why 3 stars? The price. Although they have a huge selection, you will pay a pretty penny for quite a few of the items in there. I definitely recommend Yesterdaze, but be prepared to spend a little bit extra for the selection.

I used to love this place and had loyalty to it until they had absolutely no loyalty to me.
Over the years I have loved this store. Granted, it’s expensive but I’m such a sucker for vintage anything I have spent serious amounts of money here and live two blocks away.
Last week I bought some presents for friends and I wanted some pants for a party that night and picked up a pair. I’m a man so I know my sizes and I wanted then loose so I got then 4 sizes to big for myself.
I got them home and they were 3 sizes to small so actually the handwritten tag was 7 sizes off.
So naturally I brought them back and the customer service went as follows,
Them– Sorry, We do not do exchanges, store credit or refunds.
Me– But the pants were clearly marked wrong and they were 35 bucks, it wasn’t my mistake it was yours.
Them– Thats a bummer.
I will tell you what a bummer is, I feel like I’m breaking up with a girlfriend I love and have no choice cause she’s stupid.
I won’t be back.
Sorry I have to blast you guys this way but I feel um, whats the words I’m looking for… stolen from? lied to? disrespected? or just f-​cked. Yeah, thats about right.
