Is it because we wear them longer? Are more conscience of trends? Are afraid used clothes will smell like moth balls? All of these things are concerns I had regarding consignment shopping for myself. Until I actually visited a few consignment stores and my world turned upside down. Designer duds for a fraction of the cost? Often with tags still on???? I’m IN!!!
Now, a good portion of my clothes come from local consignment boutiques. However, up until yesterday, I was a consignment sale virgin. I had never shopped a full-fledged women’s consignment sale. Enter – Green Jeans Consignment. For three days, several times a year, local ladies can shop their little hearts out and get amazing clothes at a discount.
I had the opportunity to visit yesterday with a friend (pictured in the photo above, thanks Eugenia!). These are the clothes I found, fell in love with, and are now hanging in my closet:
The halter top is a brand from Anthropologie and the shorts are from American Eagle)
(Notice the Trina Turk label and original tags?
These cost $246 in the store and I got them for $35! The top is Liz Claiborne)
(That Boden jacket retails for $228, and the capris and shorts are from Gap)
All in all, I purchased 8 items and spent $130. That comes down to $16.25 a piece. I don’t think I could’ve gotten that deal at Target! If I paid retail for these clothes, I would have spent around $900! I’d say that’s a deal! What about you?
