I have seen the shops gets pickier as well...and they are BUSY. Makes me want to open one. Glad there are other thrifters/consignment shoppers on here. I'm quite the addict! I will have to check out you're blog, Hanna, I'm guessing I'll be a fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-109113 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:21:44 +0000 Mellllls 109113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I shop consignment shops but I've never sold. I mostly give my used clothes to my sister/cousin or to charity. Considering the article, I have a feeling much of my clothes would be rejected due to the out of style/in season thing once I finally get around to getting rid of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-109112 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 02:06:38 +0000 Sihaya 109112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - good for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-109067 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 21:17:31 +0000 hanna 109067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks guys! i know it is a teensy little thing, but it made me happy to be contacted especially when there are so many others who are so much more well-known out there on the blogosphere.</p> <p>i consign a fair bit, and i've seen a LOT more people selling items off and buying consignment lately -- and a lot more people in my local salvation army thrift store too. it makes it hard to find good deals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108983 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:11:04 +0000 Vani 108983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo! Well deserved mention Hanna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108914 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:38:18 +0000 Ele 108914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Hanna! I am very into consigning- a shop opened about 4 years ago in my parent's neighborhood, and me, my sister and my Mum are always taking our old things in there. Well, my sister and I have our Mum take our stuff in (we live in another country, after all).</p> <p>Good point, Julie- I wonder about that. I definitely prefer to consign, but generally only do for "nicer" stuff. Tee's and things go to Oxfam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108905 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:15:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 108905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hannah, that is a fabulous shout out. You are the go to lady for all matters thrift. On a side note I wonder if the rising popularity of the consignment store has hit the donations to traditional charity shops? </p> <p>Angie have you noticed a decline in donations to Dress for Success given the recession? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108890 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:23:12 +0000 Michelle 108890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice one, Hanna! I had no clue you were in the Chicago area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108885 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:39:13 +0000 Louise 108885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay well done hanna x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108821 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:50:01 +0000 Anonymous 108821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read that article in the paper! Brilliant, Hanna! I've noticed that the resale shops are especially busy this season. I've only consigned once so far because I had friends and family who wanted my castoffs, but managed to do very well and got some great pieces with store credit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108810 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:07:50 +0000 Alecia 108810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very neat, Hanna! It's great to have you back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108808 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:06:35 +0000 marianna 108808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! Congrats! That was a great article and very timely for me. Last night I cleaned out my closet of everything that is too small and/or that I never wear. I'm going to Crossroads and Plato's Closet today to sell everything because I could use the money more than the clothing orphans. I am selling a lot of really expensive items that just don't fit and I have barely worn. I am curious to see what they buy.</p> <p>I have noticed that these shops have been a lot pickier lately. Last year I brought in a bag full of stuff and they bought each and every piece. That hasn't happened since then.</p> <p>For the Chicago ladies, I also found a shop called Savvy Seconds and 1sts. The owners seem less selective about what they'll buy (they do buy plus sizes) and they also buy accessories. I have never walked out with a lot of money here, but they have bought items that Crossroads and Plato's Closet rejected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-15-seconds-of-fame#post-108805 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:52:24 +0000 hanna 108805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>spot a familiar name in here? -</p> <p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704107104574569912502065776.html" rel="nofollow">http://online.wsj.com/article/.....65776.html</a></p> <p>it's only a teeny mention, but i remember feeling incredibly happy and flattered when i got the email asking to be interviewed -- apparently my blog turned up during the writer's research. just thought i'd share :). indiana adams of adored austin fame is also featured! </p>
