I Love Consignment Shopping!

Consignment shopping has sort of become an obsession of mine lately. I would rather go to the Goodwill Boutique and spend an hour or two searching, but end up with three or four new outfits for what I would spend on one at a department store.

Some of the things I've gotten at the Goodwill recently:

-A Micheal Kors dress with the tags still on it. Retail was $120, I bought it for $15

-A pair of DL1961 jeans, again, tags still on. Retail was $160, I paid $30

-An Ann Taylor skirt, no tags, but would retail for at least $50, I paid $8

-A pair of Calvin Klein capris, no tags, but in flawless condition. I paid $9

The best part is when these things stop fitting me, I can resell them on Poshmark. I've sold multiple things that I've outgrown on there, not only is it fun, but it feels good knowing someone else is getting enjoyment out of the clothing that I've owned and loved, but just can't wear anymore! It's a win-win! Just thought I'd share, since many of us are probably going through the same trials of outgrowing things quickly!

    I'm not too great at the Goodwill because they don't sort by size and I have the patience of a flea, but I do love consignment stores. We have a franchise here called Clothes Mentor that is awesome.

  • I love our goodwill!!!

I bought most of my clothes on consignment on my way down and sell much of it back. Anything I can't sell goes to a battered women's shelter where I know it is very much needed.

We have a Plato's closet near me as well. I have good luck with jeans there sometimes, but not so much tops, definitely not shorts or skirts, all way too short! I'll have to look for a Clothes Mentor store.
