Come pick some up for summer time!

Summer’s going to smack us in the face, I think.

I’m feeling like one day we’ll wake up with 80 degree temps and there will be no going back.

A sudden summer – that’s what I’m predicting.

Is your closet ready? Because if we do get hit suddenly – there won’t be a lot of time to adjust.

Just saying.

I think you should prep your closet now.

We’re taking summer consignments at Second Glance & The Annex.

7 days a week – NO APPOINTMENTS NEEDED!

Just clean it out, bring it in, and leave it. We’ll take care of the rest.

Traditionally, I’ve been a bit of a tomboy in terms of my style aesthetic.

I really appreciate the look of feminized menswear – skinny denim with heels and a button-down, maybe a jacket with a ruffle or a vest.

But lately, I’ve been jonesing for dresses. It feels almost surreal – and a little overwhelming.

I have maybe 5 dresses in my closet. And they’re all more on the formal side of things – not exactly appropriate for everyday wear.

So I find myself ready to reset my personal look. To embrace a new silhouette.

Where are you at? Are you happy with your look or is it time for a bit of a reset?

If so, the girls at Second Glance can assist you in that process. They’re great personal shoppers and have solid style advice.

They’re who I’m turning to as I work on revolving my menswear style into something a bit more girly.

The change of seasons is a natural time to get into your closet, take stock of what’s there, revolve what no longer works and reset your look.

Revolving your wardrobe by participating in resale is a less expensive and far more socially & environmentally responsible way to engage the world of fashion.

Both of our locations are open 7 days a week, and take consignments without an appointment.

Hope to see you {and your closet} soon!

Ladies, I know this is hard to believe, but we’re ready to start accepting your Fall wardrobe pieces.

So, spend a little time in your closet this weekend and recycle what you’re no longer wearing with us.

Resale shopping, that is.

Yesterday, women from Corvallis and Portland combined forces and took the pdx resale scene by storm!

My darlings, we want your fall clothes.

I thought I might clarify just one little thing.

Although I post images of clothing, jewelry, handbags, shoes, etc. from all across the internet and from a wide variety of places {department stores, couture designers, etsy shops, etc.}, I still find most of my true loves in resale shops.

{of course, this is a practice I highly endorse}

I often spot a piece that I love but has a price tag out of my reach, or I just feel like obtaining it in a more sustainable way. I’ll keep an image of that item in my memory and search for either something very like it {or even the very item itself} gently*loved in a resale shop.

{i cannot tell you how often this has worked for me}

But I do admit to enjoying supporting independent boutiques, etsy shops, and local designers.

{especially local designers}

And, of course, who can resist a posh department store from time to time?

I just try to remember the values I hold – shopping locally, shopping sustainably, and committing myself to recycling what no longer works for me!
