Encore Shop

I stopped in was impressed by the selection and creativty of putting things together. One thing I have found is that the staff of consignment shops are so much more attentive and knowledable. For instance, I was wearing black pumps with a strap across the front. The sales lady said straps make your legs look shorter. And I already have short legs. Sure enough, tried on regular pumps and it was major difference. Also, wear stockings that are as close to your natural color as possible. No salesperson at Nordstrom rack ever told me that. Good info.

I had seven items on consignment. Two sold, two were returned, and THREE were lost or stolen! The owner just said, "we are not responsible for lost or theft, it's on the contract." She said I could come in and look if I wanted. I do not think three out of seven items having disappeared is acceptable. One of the items was a very expensive silk top with heavy beading. I will never go back to this store!

This day the case was filled with great designer bags, Prada, Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Marni, Gucci. Good prices too.
