I wouldn't say this is the best consignment store in the city but it's definitely one of the best in the Wickerpark/Bucktown area. Most used clothing stores, particularly on Milwaukee, are trashy, stinky, over-hyped, and certainly overpriced. Lenny & Me is a breath of fresh air (quite literally actually). I love that they carry furniture, furnishings, and accessories in addition to clothing without being overwhelming. The store is the perfect size so you're not sifting through clothes for hours on end. Most of the clothing is in great condition, none of the items looked decrepit or stunk. I also appreciate that I don't have to sift through racks and racks of unattractive clothing; the buyer for the store really has great taste. There really are some fantastic and unique pieces here. With regard for the previous review about the store not buying her designer clothing: it's clear the store has a very specific aesthetic (mostly pretty vintage, feminine 70s stuff), you won't find tailored black pants and designer suits here.
Pros: Far better prices & merchandise compared to most other WP/BCKTN stores
Cons: A few items here & there are still a little overpriced
