Touring the Consignment Shops of the Cape
05/04/08 · 5:48 pm :: posted by thesavvythrifter
I met Wendy, owner of Tots to Teens Fashion Exchange, yesterday while I was browsing through her store. I had gone with the intent of shopping for my little sister, but I ended up finding a red jersey dress for myself as well. Wendy explained that while her primary target market is children, many women come in and find clothes that they can wear too. Indeed, many of the brands in her store are worn by women of all ages including:
- American Eagle, Aeropostale
- Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch
- GAP, Banana Republic, and J CREW, just to name a few.
Wendy also gave me a brochure, "Consignment Shops of Cape Cod," that lists 16 consignment shops across the Cape, many of which are located in the Upper Cape area. You can find the online version here.
**THRIFT NEWS**If there's some sort of fashion signal for trying economic times, I think it would be the 'overnight arrival' of many new thrift stores on the Cape. The newest one is called Hope Chest and it's located in the Friend's Market plaza in Orleans. Hope Chest benefits the Lower Cape Outreach Council and in addition to thrift and consignment clothes, they will also have a vintage section.

If you've ever watched a talk show or read a fashion magazine, you've probably seen a fashion feature called "Splurge versus Steal" in which the same outfit is created on various budgets. Ironically, however, most of their "Steal" outfits cost hundreds of dollars, something that my middle class budget cannot afford. Hence, it has become my mission to shop thrift stores and create cute, fashionable outfits that look like a splurge but are, in fact, a budget friendly steal.
