Known for career clothing, Rung is taking a small vacation from power suits to sell a little nostalgia.

But don't waste time reminiscing (or asking, "Why?"), this time machine sale ends Thursday.

The resale shop at 9739 Manchester Road has a reputation for professional attire but they have received a number of donations from eras gone by since they opened. It was hard to squeeze them in among the Anne Klein and DKNY suits, so they stored the best of their vintage items in a backroom.

Depending on your office and your style, some of the styles might still be apt. Your office would surely get a kick out of you showing up in a Norma Kamali pinstripe catsuit on a Monday morning.

But you might want to save the 70s floor-length gowns and 60s sundresses for the weekend.

Rung is offering 10 to 50 percent off all vintage items until Thursday.

Hurry over for the name brand items and some historic finds, including a Vietnam War-era leather bomber and a sequin gown the shop has affectionately dubbed the "Marsha Brady prom dress."

They held on to these hard to categorize donations until they had enough for a "collection." Average about $25-$35. To see the collection click here.
