Lessons learned from an ambitious haul to the consignment shop...

Lessons learned from an ambitious haul of 5F Bergdorf-worthy goodies -- Headed to Michael's Consignment at 1041 Madison Avenue, already anticipating my consignment shop checks to finance this year's spring wardrobe - disappointed. They are not accepting new merchandise with any wild abandon - to the contrary - their larders are rather full as everyone has the same idea. Call ahead before you drag your fineries to any consignment shop and ask if they are currently accepting. I crawled away with my entire possessions. A trip last month yielded sales - so March madness refers not only to basketball, but to the super ambitious closet cleaners who unloaded first. Kudos to MadisonAvenueSpy who listed the Upper East Side echelon of consignment shops today.

Don't Sweat Proenza Sale: Friends and Family

Cleaned up yesterday.  Shoes gone.  Anything iconic gone.  Those cool tie-dye shirts gone.  Some small black bags at $330.  Lots of wannabe shoppers turned on their Jimmy Choos heels when they realized that all the steals were gone.
If you haven't been there already, skip this sample sale.

And the truth is that Bergdorf is runnin' a monster sale of up to 75% off and I could have snagged one of the hottest items - the tie-dye shirt for $93, reduced from nearly $400, had I sat still near my computer!
