They carry lots of mid to upper range consigned items for CHEAP! Be worth checking out if you can....plus they pay you up-front *no waiting* for an item to sell..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241967 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 19:45:46 +0000 Maya 241967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly, Julie.</p> <p>Here's the NL coat. It even went with my shirt that day. The houndstooth coat in the background didn't fit, sadly.</p> <p>Steph, I think you would have only received around $50 for the dress from what I calculated based on their policies. They mark it 30%-40% off, then you take home 30% of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241810 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:28:43 +0000 RoseandJoan 241810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need to find a store where the stock is not as thoroughly edited. Goodwill sounds promising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241785 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 11:06:57 +0000 April 241785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps the next meetup should focus on secondhand, thrift, and consignment shops... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241704 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:03:15 +0000 taylor 241704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On to the next place to find treasures:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241703 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 05:01:25 +0000 Maya 241703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, it was underwhelming unfortunately. I think I need to hit one of those unassuming vintage shops or the Goodwill near work. If you told me a few months ago that I would actively be seeking out dated pieces, I would have slapped you silly...</p> <p>STA is still pretty current and perhaps not the best place to go. I did try on a heartbreakingly beautiful Nanette Lepore coat and will post pictures, but even used it was too $$$ for me right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241674 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:33:30 +0000 Michelle 241674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so many kinds of awesome! If anyone can find something unexpected, boldyl experiment and hit upon something amazing, it's you. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241660 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:20:49 +0000 Lisa 241660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, any new additions from your visit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241376 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:56:33 +0000 April 241376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was downtown yesterday and passed "our" Second Time Around, where Lisa found The World's Best-Fitting Jean Jacket, from Theory. Didn't have time to stop, more's the pity, but it evoked nice memories of our Philadelphia gathering!</p> <p>Maya, that sounds fabulous. Will you take pictures from the dressing room and post your finds? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241368 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:46:55 +0000 Lisa 241368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what fun, good luck with your hunting Maya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-241034 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 14:46:51 +0000 Steph 241034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, you are probably already aware of this, but just in case you aren't: as soon as you bring home your new clothing, put the dry clothes in your clothes dryer at the highest heat possible for at least 20 minutes. This (assuming your dryer gets to 120 degrees) will kill any bed bugs that might be on the clothing. I know bed bugs are a big deal in NYC, but they are issues everywhere, and thrift stores can be dangerous because there are so many people bringing clothing in from their homes. I actually put everything I buy--whether new or thrifted--in the dryer immediately. </p> <p>As for me taking my clothes to Second Time Around, what I found annoying is they don't tell you how much they are going to charge for the clothes! They only tell you what they charged when it sells. I actually took back a Diane von Furstenburg dress that still had the tags on it. It retailed for $455, and I didn't want to leave it there without knowing what they would charge for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240980 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 13:26:46 +0000 Jonesy 240980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, Second Time Around is a renowned vintage store. Maya, I'm so jealous! I used to wear tons of vintage stuff, back in the day &lt;getting all misty-eyed&gt;. Now, I just don't have the time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240961 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 11:40:05 +0000 Laura 240961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'll ask the dumb question: what is Second Time Around? An event, or a store? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240952 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 10:18:52 +0000 Louise 240952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like fun can't wait to see what you get x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240897 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:43:31 +0000 Sveta 240897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, good luck - should be fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240895 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:39:59 +0000 taylor 240895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww,:)<br /> Maya, the day will come when we go shopping ...and you meet my son:) If only!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240891 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:36:33 +0000 Maya 240891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well in fairness I'm going to work first, which isn't very exciting.</p> <p>Angie, you'll be on my shoulder.</p> <p>Steph, do report back on how the sales go! I keep thinking of selling there, but they don't pay until/unless your stuff gets sold, so I'm just not sure. Yours is probably more high end than mine though.</p> <p>Taylor, I would sell my soul to go shopping with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240890 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:35:47 +0000 taylor 240890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait...I'm going too!</p> <p>I only wish I could join you!!! Have fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240883 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:16:38 +0000 Kate 240883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to hear all about it!</p> <p>And yes, it's certainly more exciting than my plans (coding data for my MA paper... not fab). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240873 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:02:10 +0000 Steph 240873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's a lot more exciting than "I'm going to a seven and a half hour continuing legal education class." (What I'm doing tomorrow.)</p> <p>I actually just took a bag of clothing there yesterday to sell. They took seven pieces, and I realized five were brand new, with tags. Guess I should have thought twice before purchasing! Good luck tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240872 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 04:01:20 +0000 Angie 240872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I join you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240868 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 03:56:55 +0000 Heather 240868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ADORE this idea!!!!!! Have a blast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-doing-tomorrow#post-240865 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 03:52:35 +0000 Maya 240865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to Second Time Around, and I'm going to pick up and try on a whole bunch of pieces that I wouldn't normally pick up--including things that look dated--and see what happens.</p> <p>I'll report back on what I discover! </p>
