Wouldn’t you love to walk into that New Year’s party wearing something absolutely new and fabulous? If you haven’t considered shopping for party wear at a consignment store, you’re missing out.
For example, owner Mary Simms has reduced the price of women’s party outfits by 50 percent or more at Repeat Boutique, 2725 S Colorado Blvd., 303-757-0086, www.arepeatboutique.com. Labels include St. John Knit, Tadaschi, Jean Paul Gaultier, Laundry, BCBG, Cache and BeBe.
And furs, jewelry, evening gowns and other formal wear are marked down at Puttin’ on the Ritz consignment, 1446 S. Colorado Blvd., 303-759-4398. More than half the merchandise is brand new, marked down by 30 percent to 60 percent off the ticket price.
Storeowner Pat Jackson reports that one woman who walked into the store for the first time told her that if she'd known about the store before Christmas, she would have bought all her gifts there.
