Should you avoid buying vintage clothing, just because you have the jelly that yo momma gave you?Ī lot of women love to go to boutiques to find vintage clothing and I’m definitely one. Boutiquing yields all kinds of new benefits and sensations.Ĭontinue reading The Beauty of Boutiques (Part Two) (You’re going to boutique ontop of your boutiquing, ontop of your boutiquing!) Normal shopping is bilateral: you and what’s on the hanger, or what the store has to offer you. Do you see what I’m doing here? I’m giving you the Xzibit version. This is about enjoying ridiculous discounts when you do find something you love, and it is in your size, and it is not from any store you’ve heard of before in your whole life. This is about being exposed to brands and designers you’ve never heard of before, this is about finding something you’ve heard about but you thought was impossible to still get. Trust me, you’ll go, everything will be cute, people will be superwoman-nice and you’ll have fun.

And those women come in all shapes, colors and sizes.

Consignment clothing stores get most of their inventory from the general public (a general public of fellow fashionable women) who once loved, but can no longer keep their clothes. Whether you’re on U Street in northwest DC, or on King Street in Alexandria. Many already know this, but for the rare folks out there who don’t (like I used to be) - boutiques are for everyone. So, if you’re still not convinced, in this part two of Curve-Friendly Boutiquing, I’m going to tell you a little more about consignment stores to help you shake off the last of your fears. But I was wrong boutiquing is fun and there are some great reasons to buy and even sell your own clothes at vintage consignment stores. And, being really, very honest-for a long time, I was nervous about being the only brown girl, stranded and unable to fit into anything, in an expensive boutique. Venturing out of your go-to stores can be scary enough when you have curves.
