Y'all, if this conversation with Shelly Cunningham doesn't make you want to shop at Consignment stores over cheaply made box store clothes, I don't know what will change your mind- I didn't know what I've been missing!
Shelly bought ReStyle, a consignment boutique, 12 years ago, and moved it a couple of times, but is now settled on Rte 1 in Freeport heading toward Yarmouth. When she invited me to come and see her place, I was curious, but not being a clothing shopper, a little scared that I'd be hounded.
When I opened the door, Shelly called out "Hi Amy!" and I felt instantly at home - like the show Cheers (though I had set a time that I'd be there)... Shelly is so friendly and genuinely wants you to feel good about yourself leaving, so she waits on you, finding things that she thinks would look good on you - you see, for Shelly, it's not just a "clothing store," clothing is a tool to help create confidence and success.
Shelly at ReStyle and her friend Tammy, who owns Kargos, another local consignment store that sells a lot of vintage items and natural fabric clothing, are Co-Hosting a Re-Fashion show this Friday 5/31 starting at 7pm in Freeport, and all are invited to celebrate second chance fashion that benefits Freeport Climate Action Now (FCAN).
