Recession Shoes!!!

Recession sucks for those of us who have a weakness for shopping!!!! I admit it I love beautiful garments, accessories, jewellery, and most of all shoes!!!! I have dedicated my life to the things that we layer on our bodies and have no regrets!!! This recession has really put a damper on purchasing these possible heirloom pieces, but I have found a solution!!! Though I take great pride in wearing things out until the are no longer recognizable as their previous selves, more often then not, I do not wear things enough. Usually I find a donation bin to deposit these former treasures, but I have found a new home for them....Peacock Boutique on 10th St NW. This little consignment boutique has been operating in Sunnyside since I was young, and is now under new management. Michelle is fabulous and friendly and has a great eye for beautiful pieces. I have not only made $ on my former favorite pieces, but have picked up some beauties for next to nothing as well! Check out these Fly Girl shoes I picked up for fall....$42!!!! Can you believe it? I KNOW!!!! I love them and considering what they go for new it felt like they made me $$$!!!! So next time you are cleaning out your closet, or feeling a need to buy something beautiful for yourself, go directly to Peacock Boutique not only will you be making/saving $ you can also feel good about not adding to the waste of the rag trade we all love!!!!
