| - I'm a little surprised it took me THIS long to check out Poor Little Rich Girl. I was impressed by the high yelp rating and intrigued by its Instagram page, so bookmarked the boutique on my "must visit" list. Finally, after lusting after a number of items on IG, I walked into the Arcadia location and wandered around, fingering all of the pretty and unique items. The shop is clean and organized and the staff were all friendly and very willing to help reserve a fitting room and answer questions. A few tips for the new PLRG shopper:
1) as its name suggests, the boutique is geared towards gals,
2) clothing is organized by size and colour,
3) decent selection of athletic wear, including lululemon,
4) parking is plentiful at Arcadia and around the back at Uptown,
5) save 1 receipt from each location for 5% at each shop,
6) no appointment necessary to bring in items to consign. However, if you have a large number of items (25+), make an appointment. You can choose to receive consignment $ via store credit or cash. (I chose store credit, as you get twice as much $ than cash back.)
The labels I noticed were on the mid to higher end: Banana Republic, Anthropologie, Lucky....there are some designer brand items as well, like DVF and Coach, so look carefully.
This boutique will definitely be on my "visit as often as possible" list!
