Want to be on TV??

WHYY will be filming a segment on consignment at The Resale Boutique tomorrow, Thursday 4/23.  If you'd like to be on TV, swing by the shop between 1 and 2 pm!!

Outfit of the Week

Most of us have worn suits for interviews or a special event, but we tend to wear separates on a daily basis.  So the suits just hang in the back of the closet.  This week's Outfit(s) of the Week are designed to help you get more miles out of that suit by breaking it up into separates.  

We started with a black pinstripe skirt suit by Tahiri (size 10P, $39) & 1 pair of black slingbacks by Via Spiga (size 7.5, $15) and then added a few additional pieces to create two fabulous mix-n-match outfits.  Check it out:

On the left:

Pinstripe Skirt from the above suit

Sleeveless Top (Lynn Richie), Size L, $8

Cardigan with 3/4 sleeve (Express),  Size M, $12

Necklace, $7

On the right:

Pinstripe Jacket from the above suit

Top (Vol.1), Size M, $10

Pants (Evan Picone), Size 8, $18

Necklace, $7

Bridal Gown Friday

Last week's bridal gown was all glitz and glamour.  This week we're showcasing something more subtle and romantic.

NEW with tags

MSRP: $1700

Our price: $400 (76% off MSRP)

This week's inspiration...cute work wear for spring. This outfit can move easily from day to evening. And the wrap dress would be perfect alone for a summer day.

Blazer (Ann Taylor), size 8, $19

Suede Pump (White House Black Market), size 9, $20

Necklace, $7

Add a black briefcase-style handbag for day (as pictured - $10) or an oversized red leather clutch for evening (as pictured - $10).

Inspiration for this Outfit of the Week... Lucky Mag April 2009.  They ran a full six-page spread on mixing-n-matching floral prints.
