resale?! awesome.

i've been cleaning out closets and trying to get rid of stuff. stuff i don't wear, don't want, doesn't fit, etc. and the other day i happened upon a resale shop on armitage. i went to armitage originally on a mission to find a dress or top on super sale to wear for kyle's bday party which was to be at a club. clearly i needed something new. anyways, bcbg is a usual stop b/c they generally have good stuff for 50-75% off. i ended up finding a top there... whatever, it was 75% off...but not the point of this story. this story involves the new resale/consignment shop i found a few doors down from bcbg. i popped in and asked them their rules for bringing things in and found out that all new accounts receive 20 bucks and when items are sold it is a 60/40 split. they told me that offer was good for that day and the next (a friday). so i went home and gathered all the bags o' stuff that had accumulated in my guest closet and hauled it back over to the armitage shop. they counted all of my items and then said b/c i'd brought in enough stuff, i got a 75 gift certificate!! what!? allright! the catch was i had to use it by sunday. ummm, ok! so i looked around and found a black coach purse in great shape that is very work-ish (so i'll be ready if i ever get another job!)and then i located a jean jacket. it said size 2. i thought yeah, right. i tried it on anyways. holy crap, it fit!! i think the size was a lie.... anyways, it seemed like it was totally meant for me and the price was reduced by another 30% and since i'd been wanting a jean jacket for a long time i snatched this up along with the bag and spent my 75 bucks. i admit, i went over, but it only cost me an additional 20 bucks. 20 bucks for a coach purse and paper denim cloth jean jacket! and i got rid off stuff that i'll still make some money on! yay!! i kinda love this new shop!!
