| - Consignment & vintage shopping can be a bit of a sport - searching and prowling for that special little gem amidst a pile of, um, rocks?
Sweet Repeats is indeed A-OK for me, but you definitely have to sift through a good amount of clothing to find something fabulous and relevant for someone under the age of 50. And that's totally fine! Just realize that the consigned items are typically for a more mature lady - think St. John, Donna Karen, etc. They do have a designer jeans section that was decent - just not exactly up to snuff with other consignment stores in the area.
Make sure to check both sides (there are two separate doors, two seperate sections) - the fancier section on the right definitely skews older, but I did spy a gorgeous Zac Posen black dress. It was priced at $250 - not too bad for designer duds, but still a bit rich for my blood. I also saw a tweed Chanel skirt suit hanging in the midst of many a beaded black dress. Honestly, it sounds a bit snippy but if this store was a bit better organized and every item was showcased on wooden hangers instead of random, crappy plastic hangers strewn about, it would look so much more higher end. Just my opinion though...
The ladies who work here are very nice and offer help and advice when asked and I certainly felt welcome. If you're in the area it's worth a shot to look around - you never know when you'll find a diamond in the rough.
