Shop and Stock!

It takes some mental effort for me to get in the mood to shop for clothes... but for me when I get to go stock the boutique for the weekends... It seems effortless. Why? because I get to shop for other people! I always have a hard time shopping for myself. My knack is finding clothes that remind me of people and knowing that what I choose for them would look great. I will often see a dress for  my daughter or a jacket for my friend and just know that the color or the pattern would suit them well. This is way I personal shop for my boutique. I grap a shopping cart at the Thrift and just go for it! Clothes just start calling my name or someone else's and into the cart it goes. Stay tuned for some new shots of today's thrifting adventures...maybe I'll find something especially for you!

Summers here !

Great days for me are spent working at the mychicthrift.com boutique putting together the displays and finding what I call treasure!!! Part of the reason for the boutique is to find items or clothes that are falling through the cracks at the thrift stores. These items  may not be displayed properly or just haven't caught the eye of an employee. Most managers at thrifts have been trained to spot vintage items and they know how "HAUTE" these items are to true collectors or fashion stylist like me. Its just that so many items come through these stores on a daily basis that "cool "clothes just slip through. That's why I'm here. I get so happy when I find an item that didn't make it to the "Retro" section of the store and I rescue it from the everyday ready to wear racks!!!

Here are some new shots of the boutique and our new displays!




My summer color for this season is going to be the GREEN!! Summer is here and its time to get outside and be inspired by the environment. Green is an energy color and with all the fun stuff to do outside -why not add to the elements. Check out the new opening display for some great visuals on great green hues! My color palette is all over the place and that's what I like -push all the colors at one time. I'm all for matching but mix it up and try out a few hues of your signature color at one time!!!
