Worth a special trip
Monday, October 24, 2005
I had some friends who lived near New York Woodbury Common Outlets, so I couldn't understand why they wanted to come shopping down here in Orange when there were so many great deals to be had at the outlets. They had heard about people coming in from NYC to go to Consignment Originals to buy dress, shoes, purses, some housewares, and jewelry. I went, but I wasn't happy about it.
Well, I was wrong. I can't say I found outlet level bargains, but they did have shoes from Joan and David, some NYT best seller books at cheap prices, I got a few cute outfits on their down and out clearance rack, and they had a few cute costume jewelry pieces. I also found a vintage purse from the 1930's or 1940's in great condition that looked great for $8!
Many are impressed with their clothing being as current - they're aren't outfits from the late 80's here - just current items you can wear to work or social occasions. Everything is in good condition as well.
