The Closet Exchange

Archive for the ‘News’ Category

I hear this sad phrase from so many of our customers–I even say it myself.  What we need to do is ignore the size on the labels and tags.  Manufacturers are playing games with us–it’s mean and frustrating.

We need to be honest with ourselves and realize that there are days that some things just don’t look as good on us as we hoped.  It’s OK.  It could be better on a different day, with a different mood, or different shoes, or even different underwear–!  Be smart–don’t try to wear the blouse tucked in today-wear the tunic with a wonderful pair of earrings.  You’ll feel more comfortable , won’t be thinking about the muffin- top,  and all others will see is the bright smile,  the confidence, and the fabulous earrings that brighten your face!

Stand up straight, wear a heel–practice a smile before getting out of the car–I know it sounds silly–but it makes a difference!  We are WOMEN!!!  Hear us roar,  see us run the world, control the chaos around us, and care for our families and loved ones.  We are wonderful and amazing creatures.  We are blessed.

Smile at the woman in the car next to you at the stoplight–it could change her day!

Take care, Brenda

When you shop at the Closet Exchange stores, your price is 60% to 80% off the original price!  We have a Chico’s rack at the 925 Great Plain Ave. store (best of the mall), and two permanent Eileen Fisher racks at our 906 Great Plain Ave. store (designer and boutique).

Both brands make wonderful transitional pieces–great sweaters and jackets that you can mix with things you already own to make you look and feel like spring!  It’s amazing how a little color over the classic Boston black can lift your spirits and your color!  It even makes people around you feel better!

One other idea–look at your suits. We don’t wear them as much as we used to, but the jackets now make a great separate!  Wear them with your jeans, or a print skirt and flats!  Shop the suit racks at our stores–just buy the suit because the jacket is a great separate!  Our prices are so low that it’s a smart buy–give the pants or skirt away. ( Never keep something you are never going to wear..) 

Come and see us–we  have new merchandise every day in all three stores.  We can help you fluff up your spring wardrobe without spending a fortune.  You’ll look wonderful and ready for these gorgeous days!

You can be best dressed for less!  Take care.  Think happy thoughts.  Brenda and Maggie

It’s our Spring Cleaning and Clear-out Sale!  We have so much stuff!  We’ve emptied the attic, basement, closets and cupboards of all the odds and ends we no longer need.  We have store props, mirrors, pictures, lamps, holiday trim, books, candlesticks, quilts, all kinds of goodies!  They will be on sale at all three stores.

We also have “Last Chance” clothes, shoes and purses at each store!!!  The clearance items will be spread through all three stores–so visit each one, or you’ll miss a prize!  As always, there are 50% to 70% markdowns at each store.

And–the spring merchandise has been arriving!  It’s all so pretty–it will lift your spirits.  So stop by, you could find a new goodie for your house and a new top for yourself! 

All this rain brings May flowers–it’s a good thing. 

Come and have fun!! Brenda and Maggie

We’re working on a surprise for you–something to make you smile, even though the weather is the pits—-.  We need a couple more days to get it together–but you will love it! 

Keep smiling.  February is almost over.  Talk to you tomorrow.

Take care, Brenda and Maggie

If you are thinking of going to the mall today to shop their sales, you might want to reconsider.  Retail stores are hurting, so they bring in merchandise that they can sell at greatly reduced prices.  Often, this merchandise is just that–stuff that they can sell cheap.  This would be items that you would not normally buy–damaged, shopworn, poorly  made or ugly.  They’re hoping that you’ll get caught up in a buying frenzy.

Now, consider Closet Exchange.  All nice merchandise from every brand-no damaged goods, no junk.  We mark down because we work on a schedule–it’s simply time to reduce.  Our prices start at less than their sale prices, and we have markdowns all the time!

For incredible variety, great quality and value, and smiling helpful staff–come and see us.  We really love what we do–and we want you to love it too.  From Gap, to J.Crew,  Free People,  Velvet,  Eileen Fisher, Uru, Ann Taylor, Chico’s, Armani,  Louis Vuitton, and Chanel–we have it all!

This make so much more sense than retail–you can be best dressed for less!  We promise.

Take care.  Make each day count.  Brenda and Maggie

Just wanted to let you know that we are open Monday, as always.  This holiday may give you a chance to visit us on a quieter day in your life.

We are filling our stores with lots of fresh spring merchandise–so good to see color return!  Beautiful purses in the window at 906 Great Plain Ave.–Louis Vuitton, Hype, Marc Jacobs, Coach, Gucci, Chloe and more!  The windows at the 925 and 931 stores will make you feel like spring is coming–Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Crew, Chico’s, Coldwater Creek, Gap, Bebe and more.

Why go to the mall?  This is so much easier-everything is reviewed by our staff, chosen for good quality and great style–and everything starts at 60% to 80% off the retail price!  There are always reduced prices on the floors as well.

This is a different kind of consignment–come and see.  You can be best dressed for less!

Have a wonderful weekend.  See you soon, Brenda and Maggie.
