In the reality of today’s world and with the Stock Market as it is. Not necessarily knowing from one day to the next as to when the economy is going to have a full rebound. I being a consumer and self employed fashion consultant. Like to think of myself as also a budget conscience, savvy shopper. That being one who can create a stylish ensemble, that will have multiple functionality, and still not break the bank.
In comes one of my personal favorite fashion secrets, the consignment stores! Beyond the sample sales of major headline stores and the discounts of the designer outlets. These great little forgotten secrets that fashion consultants and lovers alike shop regularly. In these stores I have found some of my favorite vintage finds. Along with the most current and latest trend pieces. When I am off working in a far away city, I make it a point to seek them out. Fabulous finds can be found at these stores for a minute fraction of the original cost!
Not only do these stores hold great vintage and designer pieces. They hold what I like to call “foundation” pieces that are essential to building and maintaining a functional wardrobe. Pieces such as a crisp white shirt or a classic little black dress. Things that will never go out of style and will always be the essentials of fashion. So remember, whether you are shopping for yourself or an entire family. It pays to be savvy. As I always say friends, loved ones, and people first, then fashion. Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteAnd THIS is what I've been talking about! Absolutely Jerad! You have pointed out exactly why I have shopped resale for many years and why I love owning a consignment shop! Furthermore, you once again confirm my theory that the people who OWN their own style, shop resale in some combination along with boutiques and better department stores. Thank you Jerad for making the case!
