This season of giving…

Think about this:

The past is history,

the future is a mystery,

and this moment is a gift.

That is why this moment is called the present.   author unknown.

 

Layering-how to #1

Try a soft dress over a pair of pants! Best is a loose a-line dress, knee-length or above. The a-line shape  floats over any fullness created by the pants.  Try a mini skirt over leggings!  It’s comfy and fun!

North Face, Tory Burch, Fendi,Eileen Fisher, Coach!

These are only a few of the labels we carry! Why shop where the inventory is depleted or picked over? Come to the Closet Exchange–we add hundreds of new pieces everyday from every label. Designer sunglasses, fine jewelry from David Yurman to fabulous holiday sparkles, St. John separates, Eileen Fisher collectibles, cashmere from TSE and Ralph Lauren, dresses from Diane von Furstenberg, Elie Tahari, and Milly,  hundreds of purses from Coach to Burberry , lots of beautiful boots-even fur coats and jackets!

We have everything you are looking for–sizes 0 to 24 in three stores all on the same street.  We offer you incredible variety and great value!

Shopping is fun–you just need to come and see us!

Take care. Remember this is a season of hope and celebration.  Brenda and Maggie

 

How good are the deals at the outlets?

Instyle magazine had an interesting tidbit on outlets. Many brands now produce lines specifically for outlets, lines that feature lower quality materials and construction.

Since most of these items were never sold in a regular store, manufacturers can put a fake “original price” on them to make the outlet price seem like a bargain.  And there’s a reason why these discount malls are in the middle of nowhere–shoppers feel like they have to buy something to make the trip worthwhile.

Evaluate quality, pretend that you didn’t drive an hour to get there, and ask yourself if you really want to buy it.

Our gift to you–25% off holiday sale!

In this season of celebration, giving and hope, our gift to you, our loyal customers, is a 25% off sale this Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Shop consignment for gifts!

We are in the business of style and fashion! It’s what we know–and we do it well.  We can help you find fabulous gifts for this season of giving–without stress on you or your wallet.

Have you been to the mall?  I have.  All I saw was picked over sale items, messy racks and floors, and weary and uninterested sales staff.

Our prices start at their sale prices!  Our stores are staffed by the most wonderful people, and they love to help you if you need it.  They know our inventory.  We add 200 to 300 new pieces every day between our three stores! The best part of consignment is that everything was already chosen because it was special–and the variety is so varied in price and style!!

Come to see us–park once (it’s free for the month of December), and visit all three stores.  You will have a wonderful time–no stress, no pressure-just tons of fabulous things from shoes to purses to jewelry to clothing!

We’re very different from the rest. Just come and see us once and you”ll never go to the mall again.

Take care. Enjoy this special season.  Brenda and Maggie

Do we wear hose?

This is a hard question.  For some time, everyone seemed to favor a bare leg-summer or winter. I personally think this tend started in California–definitely not in Boston during the winter.

Go with bare legs: if it’s summer, if you have young and unblemished or veinless legs, if you have a great tan (faux or real), or if you are comfortable with the look.

Kate Middleton is wearing hose. Many fashionable women have adopted black tights.  Both looks are really great!  I like the edgy clean look of black tights–plus they hide a  lot of flaws. I think we have reached a place where you do what works best for you.

Tunics from Tory Burch, Vince, Velvet, BCBG,and Marc Jacobs!

This is one piece of clothing that everyone can wear–and look fabulous doing it!  It’s forgiving in cut–so there is no size puzzle.  You can wear them casually with skinny jeans or leggings,  dressed up with soft silk or velvet pants, even over a long narrow skirt.

The options are endless–you just need to play! Look for a tunic that fits narrow to your body, but not clingy.  Pay attention to length–generally, the hem should fall anywhere from mid thigh to just above the knee.  Accessorize with a belt, long necklaces, chandelier earrings, or a beautiful scarf!  This is a look for all shapes and sizes and all ages–it’s about time!

Our biggest mistake…

The biggest mistake women make is wearing pants that aren’t the right length for their shoes.  Pants should be hemmed to work with flats or heels,  there is no way that they can work with both.

Generally, hems should just graze the tops of your shoes and be 1/2 to 3/4 inch off the floor at the heel.  Invest in a full length mirror and always use it.  pants that are too short and too long can ruin an outfit.

How to look slim-revisited…

It’s that time of year again–holidays and events that tempt us with wonderful tasty treats!  It’s impossible not to feel a little puffy. Love it and hate it.

Enjoy the season-use moderation- and don’t beat yourself up. Make your clothes work for you.  Dress in all one color from top to toes–and accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! Fabulous earrings and bracelets can make you look and feel like a star!  A sparkly shawl flung artfully around your shoulders spells casual glamor! That all one color trick can make you look pounds lighter and six inches taller–really!

Enjoy every treat, think sleek, go and be the beauty you are!
