Brace yourself, the back-to-school advertisements, sales and crowds are only a matter of weeks away, not to mention the highly-anticipated changing of the seasons in the world of fashion. While we all love to shop, this can be a hectic and expensive time of year. So, try something new this season; clean out your closet and hit a consignment shop or resale boutique before making the routine mall haul. Here are our top five reasons to shop consignment shops and resale boutiques:
1. Turning in your wardrobe items, shoes, jewelry and handbags could lead to cash in your pocket or store trade (not to mention the extra closet space you will gain).
2. Buying from locally owned and operated retailers puts the money you spend back into the local economy. Many of these retailers donate to other local causes, so your money could potentially help out twice.
3. Employees of these shops are very familiar with seasonal styles and trends so there is a good chance you will find your favorite brands, designers and signature looks.
4. You will be able to buy more items and experiment more with your style for a lot less.
5. Resale, Reuse, Recycle. It’s the greenest way to be green.
