You’ve always admired those $700 Prada shoes that your friend got from a consignment boutique for only $150. But yet, you can never seem to head into a consignment shop. All of the merchandise just seems overwhelming or you don’t believe that you will actually find high end designers. You think you’ll fall into a place with used Gap tees and you can afford to buy those new. Or the idea of wearing something secondhand is just to much to swallow.
Well, I’m here to tell you that consignment shopping is a cents-ible way to get designer merchandise when you don’t have a limitless bank account. And worrying about secondhand is a waste of time. If you head to the right consignment boutique you will find the merchandise so well cared for that you will never know it was worn before (and some of it wasn’t). So check out the video above for my five tips AND then see the list below of a few consignment shops that a few of my favorite twitter friends recommended. Make sense?
