“Cheap” can be “Chic.”

Recently I came across a quaint resale clothing boutique for women called Couture Closets..sorry guys, but you don’t like shopping anyway....
The concept is unique because of the opportunity to cash in on old clothes no longer worn and save money on something “new” for yourself! The Couture Closet has everything easily accessible on spacious racks. The garments are organized by size and color, neat and clean, and ready to be worn. When I was there one of the owners, Amy, hand picked a few items that were perfect for my shape and size as well as my skin tone and hair color. For less than fifty bucks I left with a pair of designer jeans, sweater, blouse and a scarf. Did I mention the assortment of hip and stylish clothes that are a brand new line and reasonably priced? It is called True Denim and if you’re young at heart with an energetic flare you’ll enjoy the distinctive look these pieces have to offer. (Check them out on Facebook!)
Amy and Debbie, the proprietors of the Couture Closets, LLC take it a step further for a fee. They will come into your home, go through your closets, and revamp your entire wardrobe, hence, giving you a new outlook on your clothes with a sense of fashion and style that you may not have known!....and you thought you didn't have anything to wear....This is a "closet recycling" like you've never seen. As they so cleverly put it...”its like shopping from within." When finished they take what you don’t want and sell it for you giving you 50% of the proceeds, then the rest of your old clothes are donated to charities such as Dress for Success and Goodwill. After my shopping spree I went through my own closet and returned with some items that are now being “recycled” and I will receive half of what they sell for! For more information and pricing on services they offer, which are tailored to your individual needs, go to www.coutureclosets.net or visit their store at 148 West Main Street (where Justin's Steakhouse use to be) downtown Spartanburg, SC, 29304. Hours of operation are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 11a-5p and Saturday from 11a-3p. (hey, I like those hours!)
I have nothing against Goodwill ,however, the few times I have shopped at one I have come away with my energy depleted and somewhat depressed. It must have been the neon lights and the musty smell that threw me over the edge. You know as well as I that those conditions are very overwhelming and takes time to find a “diamond” in the rough. So, why do all that searching for new outfits when Amy and Debbie have the "diamonds" polished and hanging before you at Couture Closets?? So, trade in your old duds for something new and enjoy the recycled you!
