Don't be thrown off by the Value Village thrift store that you have to walk through to V.VILL; it is totally worth the hike! You would have no idea that a cute, well priced boutique was hiding like a diamond in the rough when parking in the lot outside. But upon entering the Value Village, walk straight to the blue door at the back of the store to enter a room with the most fashionable pre-owned clothing around.
Cigi Guz is the designer/owner, and she is full of energy and fresh ideas. She hunts through thrift stores to find pieces that need a little tweaking, and after tweaks are made, sells them in her boutique for a very reasonable price. For example, she showed us a dress with a vintage looking flower pattern that had "hideous" buttons down the front. Cigi saw the potential, removed the buttons and added a pretty little hanging crystal before putting up for sale in V.VILL for less than $50. To check out the clothing and accessories, go to www.facebook.com/V.VILLstyle.
At this time the store is taking appointments instead of having set hours. If you'd like to check out the store, email cigi@cigiguz.com to set up a time. And what better way to shop than with the designer there to make recommendations? I highly recommending V.VILL and am already looking into a time when the girls and I can head over there for some retail therapy. What better way to be (and save some) green?
