Today started my adventure in only shopping resale for one year.
My first stop was to a resale shop in Lake Barrington, IL called You Need Resale Therapy.
I was accompanied by my Mom and my cousin Lindsie!
Shop Review:
The location is a bit difficult to find as it is located in an industrial park, however it is definitely worth hunting around for! The visual merchandising in the shop is to die for and really makes you feel like you are shopping in a boutique not a resale shop. The staff was extremely friendly and had exceptional knowledge of their merchandise. They update their merchandise on a weekly basis and offer both consignment items and some new items as well. If you are looking for evening wear, vintage hats, or Vera Bradley you will find something here! You Need Resale Therapy Boutique also offers a small selection of couture designer pieces - on display while I was visiting was a Versace dress. Dressing rooms are available and credit cards are accepted.

Tip:
If you really love one piece in a suit set, but cannot wear the other piece as is - ask for a discount. It never hurts to ask if pricing is negotiable especially if you have to alter the garment in order to be able to wear it.
White Fox Fur 'Evans Fur at Lazarus' Coat
Priced at: $65
Purchased at: $65
As I was checking out, I was tempted to try on a white fur coat that had caught my eye as I walked in the door. I figured that it would be out of my budget, but was pleasantly surprised that the price tag read $65. This is what we call a diamond! I have always had a love for fur, even though I am a vegetarian, it's just so luxurious! As I tried on the coat the sales women informed me that it was white fox and was real fur! When I checked the tag and saw that it was an Evans Fur from Lazarus, I knew it was meant to be! My Dad is from Ohio and worked at Lazarus for a short period of time back in the day. We always enjoyed shopping there on our trips to Columbus, OH to visit our family. This sealed the deal for me and before I knew it I was walking out the door with a new fur coat! My philosophy with this one is for $65 I'm going to wear it everywhere!
