Moving out of New York was quite a task- especially when you are trying to do so in a conscious way. So, I took the time and sorted through my wardrobe. Offered items on eBay, researched the local consignment shops and donated the rest. No clothing went to the landfill from me!

I have to say, a very pleasant part of this whole experience was the drop-off I did at the consignment shop Second Time Around on Mott Street. No snobby attitudes (unlike another second hand designer label shop I visited) and a genuine affinity to recycle clothes and celebrate classic or fun pieces. They definitely get an A+ rating from me!

Haven’t been? This Tuesday is the perfect time to go. They are having a VIP Insider Night in which you get to shop all the new stock for their winter selection at 50% off before the public. Simply rsvp to: RSVP@secondtimearound.net and go to 262 Mott Street (between Houston and Prince) from 6-8pm to enjoy cocktails and fashion. Hm, now I am wishing I was still in NYC to go to this…!
