February at Rewind - How to Keep Your Style Fun and Up-to-date, and Increase your Budget
1002 Macleod Trail SE
www.rewindconsignment.com
One of the first things you should consider is consignment. You’ll find great deals on name brand items and make a return on clothes and accessories from your wardrobe to put toward new or different items. If you go to a consignment boutique like Rewind Consignment Clothing no appointment is required to drop off items, an account is set up in minutes and you’re given at least three months for your items to sell. The store carries quality consigned items from hundreds of women as well as new clothing and accessories from affordable boutique lines and independent designers so you’d be sure to find something to fill the gaps in your closet or the latest styles to update your wardrobe.
The first step to take to determine what to consign is to go through your closet. Pull out anything you haven’t worn in the last year. If it’s worn out, throw it out. If it’s a little dated but still in great condition, donate it to charity. If it’s a great item that doesn’t fit, doesn’t complement the rest of your wardrobe or you’re bored with it, consign it and make some cash toward future purchases. It helps to organize your refreshed closet by style (separate sweaters, blouses, pants, etc.) then sort by colour and do the same process with your shoes and accessories. This way you can always see what you need or want.
Rewind will help you shop to fill the gaps in your wardrobe and put together outfits to suit your personal style, and will even book a personal appointment with you outside business hours if you want full-on attentive service!
