Local Giveaway: Two $10 Gift Cards to Upscale Resale















Do you live in the Charlotte area? Do you like name brand clothes, but don't like the "name brand price" that comes along with it? Then check out Upscale Resale.

Here is a little bit about the owner, Darlene:


Spotlight on the owner:
Darlene opened the boutique in April 2011 after she lost her job in administration in August 2009 and, after searching for work with no success, she finally decided it was time for her to take a different path. She is a die hard bargain hunter with an eye for fashion and, after doing some research, decided a secondhand boutique was the perfect fit. She appreciates quality clothing, but could never bring herself to pay retail prices. As long as she can remember, her wardrobe has come from consignment and thrift stores, and the clearance racks from stores like Ross and Marshalls.
Is Upscale Resale a consignment shop?
She often has people ask if Upscale Resale is a consignment shop. It is not. She orders her inventory from various liquidators and warehouses. While researching for the business, she found there are warehouses that specialize in secondhand inventory for retail stores. And the liquidators provide new items that could be overstock, leftovers, closeouts, etc. from various retail stores. She is able to purchase the best quality, name brand fashions in bulk, for a reduced rate, which allows her to keep her prices low. Brands include Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Gap, BCBG, The Limited, Express, and so on, and the majority of items in the boutique are priced under $20. She cleans all items before they go out on the racks, and inspects all items to ensure the highest quality.
About the inventory:
New items are added every Thursday ~ in a variety of sizes and styles. There is always a sale going on! Items with a red star on the tag are an additional 20% off. Darlene tries to keep inventory moving, so anything that has been in the store 4 weeks gets a red star, and after 8 weeks it moves to the $4 rack.

 I went to Upscale Resale last week and picked up a few things. See below: 
An Apostrophe skirt that was $12 and a Worthington top that was $10. I had a Buy one regular priced item get one free coupon so I got the top for free.

Two pair of hand made earrings for 2.50 each, a hand made hair clip for my daughter for $7, a necklace and earring set for $4 and the flower is actually a pin so I can take it off and put it on something else. And those 2 "dots" in the middle of the flower that are hard to see are a pair of purple stud earrings for my daughter that were thrown in for free.






In celebration of my 2 year "blogaversary' (a.k.a. blog anniversary)Darlene has been kind enough to provide 2 of my readers a $10 gift card to use at Upscale Resale.  This giveaway ends Sunday, March 11th at 11:59 PM EST so make sure and enter and tell your friends about it.
