In the black.
November 26th, 2011
This is the year I will (probably, pretty likely, almost positively) buy a pair of cowboy boots.
They will most definitely be new for me but THEY will not be new. Baby, this is a perfect example of when to hit the consignment shops. And men, give it some thought, too.
My consignment shop finds to date include a black leather jacket, fitted wool jacket with perfect lapels for broaches, lace up boots that looked like they stepped out of my DJ Lafon painting Remembrance and a vintage evening dress that I can wear fearlessly to any cocktail party knowing I won’t see myself coming and going.
A good outfit is priceless and timeless. And when you want to experiment with a new look, trim the investment by shopping consignment or the sales rack so a misfire doesn’t send you back to “safe” purchases forever. It’s up to you if you reveal your sources. It is fashionable to be a smart shopper and sometimes deliciously satisfying knowing flattery can’t include copying.
Save your money. Support the local economy and shop without going into the red.
