‘Thrift’ing into Fall

Since I am a big believer in vintage and retail alternatives (because of price, quality, authenticity) I could not be more excited about today’s ‘Fall Opening’ at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Thrift Shop on 3rd Avenue and 82nd street.

Beginning this morning at 10 a.m. (they close at 7 p.m.) the store will be selling fall merchandise…designer and non designer clothing, home furnishings, etc. I can bet that if you stop by, you will find many items that will look as though they had just paraded down the runways for fall/winter 2003 (tweeds, plaids, 3/4 sleeves, impeccibly tailored coats and suits, and gloves galore).

Get their early if you can….as they say, ‘If you snooze, you lose!’
