Designer Resale Sale, Feb 7 - 20

Designer Resale, the...well the designer resale/consignment store that is incredibly picky in what they take (but they did take my Betsey Johnson embroidered flats and quickly sold them -- netting me a take of $22) is having their Winter Semi-Annual Sale. Prices SLASHED 20-70 percent! Famous designer brands for women AND men. And wait! The sale actually extends until Feb. 21-22 when prices will be SLASHED up to 80 percent!

If you haven't stopped in yet, go to E. 81st Street between 1st-2nd Aves.

With brands including Hermes, Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Fendi, Armani, Versace, YSL, Burberry, Christian Dior, etc. you would think that they'd have more up to date marketing materials - the sale notice I received in the mail has a drawing of a man and a woman in their sassy designer duds, and it reminds me of the movie "Working Girl," or "Big." Not a great first step in an effort to get the trendsetters in your store, guys. I'm surprised the woman isn't wearing a headband.

My First Consignment: Designer Resale

In a continued effort to fit all of my apparel into the smaller, temporary dwelling, I did some real sole-searching and parted with a few items that I have been hanging onto for various (strange) reasons. For the first time in my life I thought I'd give the consignment route a shot - I mean why not make some cash on the side? So I pulled out shoes, a suit, a dress, skirt, pants and a shirt and hustled them over to Designer Resale Corp. on 324 East 81st St. Cutting to the chase - the above pictured Betsey Johnson flats were the only thing they accepted. Haha... I guess this is what happens when you are so fashion-forward that the labels you are a slave to are unappreciated by the masses. So I skipped myself on over to the Spence-Chapin Thrift Shop at 1473 Third Ave. and donated the rest...
