I have always loved resale stores ... especially vintage ones. I have sold to resale stores in the past but had never really shopped in them for myself. Until recently when I discovered a number of resale stores in my area that sell high end couture. I know ... be still my heart! I have visited almost all in the area with only a few left to discover! I am in love!!!
It started with birthday party shopping for the mini me! She was having a dress up party so I hit up two Good Wills in Buckhead and Sandy Springs to locate heels, dresses and accessories. Now I know Good Will is very far from high end couture ... but I got lucky twice! Check it out ...
A Louis Vuitton messenger bag and a Thomas Pink men's woven.
The messenger bag was $22 (missing the strap) and the Thomas Pink was $5. I took the Louis to the store at Lenox to have it checked out and to order a new strap and its legit! Holy crud ... who takes Louis to Good Will?
The Thomas Pink is too large to wear out but I looove it as a night shirt! So comfy so amazing tailored! Love it! I may or may not have worn it to a friends for coffee last week. Let's go with may!
Not to mention I saw Manolos .. Jimmy Choos and Louboutins ... for ridiculous prices. Too bad they were not in my size! They were all in great condition!!
That plus a conversation with a friend about a store she loves sparked a whole new passion for me! Here are my finds so far ...
I snagged these brand new clogs yesterday and left a Calypso shawl behind. I was a little worried about the eggplant/purple tones but I haven't stopped thinking about it! I will be snatching that up tomorrow! Let's hope it is still there!!!
Never been worn Ferragamos ... so comfy and such great shoes!!! $79!
Yes its Hermes and yes it is in perfect condition! I love it!!! $180!
Great boots and only $99 ... Preppy Paper Girl insisted I grab them up ... Love them!
I left behind a gorgeous pair of Chanel heels in navy blue and some great Burberry espadrilles. I have told myself a hundred times the heels were too high but I still dream about them!
Yes its an obsession and yes I am hooked!
What can I say?
