How to Shop Consignment Stores
Here are a few tips to help you on your way to becoming a savvy consignment store shopper.
DO make a “girls’-day-out” of visiting several of the local resale shops. Get a feel for their inventory and pricing so you can catch the best deals.
DO look for details that ma ke an item unique. The fashion devil is in the details which can also make a simple outfit look very expensive.
DON’T put down a piece you love because the arms are too long or the pants scrape the ground. When you are buying things at a discount, splurge on a seamstress to tailor your purchases. A great pair of pants or shirt you will wear over and over is worth it!
DO visit your favorite resale shops often. Inventory turns over quickly, so there are usually some good finds waiting for you! Most shops discount their inventory regularly to move it out. (RESTYLE does mark-downs weekly) Check out the SALE racks!
DON’T forget – you too can make some $$$$by bringing in the clothes in your closet that “don’t quite fit right anymore.”
