why resale?

There was a time when “resale” stores were dark, grimy thrift shops where you would shamefully dig for an oversized pair of overalls to sport for the annual square dance at the church fellowship hall. But as we all know, times are changing and the resale route has become a common road for many shoppers.

Shopping resale is no longer shameful for the Louis toting soccer mom who would have once scoffed at purchasing an item “previously owned by someone else!” Believe it or not, it’s actually the hottest trend in the shopping circuit.

Conversations between you and your girlfriends have likely changed in the past few months. You probably went from talking about manis and pedis to budgets and mortgage rates. Not too appealing if you ask me. But we are facing a time where we, the women of the household, must be conscientious of how much money we spend on tube of toothpaste, much less the grooming of our feet.

It’s all about giving up something these days…to save money – to save the environment.

But DO you have to give up everything?

I don’t think so.

I truly believe that a woman should never have to sacrifice her sense of style. Her wardrobe and her home should be a refection of who she is. That is why I believe that “great style was MINT to be shared.”
