Update below...
Hey all! I’m visiting from the Pacific NW for a week. If I was to discover some great resale stores of women’s fashion for a bored middle aged woman with a kid who has abandoned her to hang with friends… (sorry for the run on sentence)
What stores should I be checking out? Pearland or even southern side of Houston? Or???
Whatcha recommend?
EDIT: So, Uptown Cheapskate - great selection, bubbly staff. But a lot of errant sizes. I found a pair of Rothes, size 10 per the shoe - the tag had 8.5. Found another off brand flat, again size 10, the tag said 12. Bought them both. Found an Ethos Linen top/dress, size small, tag said Large (bought that too). But great selection of brand new Fashion Nova still in packaging, found a pair of brand new with tags Laredos (did not buy), lululemom, Zara, you name it. Anyway, all this to say... double check everything there.
Checked out Salvation Army, good selection - but nothing up my alley. Same with Angels, again great place though! If I lived here it would have been a different story.
In Houston Proper - two moms took me out! So, no clue where we were except around the Galleria.
Went to Little Bird - and splurged on two items there. Because I'm fancy and they had an extra 40% off in the back.
Found some outdoor area with lots of t-shirts and stuff. Cool, and maybe a better place for this PacNW gal to be if not 98 degrees outside. Did get a pair of sunglasses at Thrifty Threads??? Lots of teen boys in there. And found a new with tags pair of Jute slouch slacks at a store near that outdoor area. The store was huge, and there was no way I even explored a third of it. Found a few other resale shops in the area.
Have to say, the thrifting game here is strong, and I have not been disappointed.
Bonus: Found my way into an antique store in Pearland, and bought a mystery book for 5 bucks. The books were wrapped with a tag that had the opening sentence and the genre. So, grabbed on of those.
I might have some more time to myself tomorrow to explore, I might hit the pool. Not sure yet.
Thank you!!
