And their selection? Cute, cute, cute! I still have not gotten into the consignment game myself since that takes a little bit of organizing but I have had friends who are able to build their children's wardrobes from here every season with their buy backs and absolutely love it.

It's definitely a place to find nice, gently used clothes, especially for a young girl in your life. I'm a big believer in reducing waste and reusing items, so I'm glad to shop secondhand. Thrift stores can be super hit or miss when it comes to finding what you want. That's the upside of a store like this--instead of hunting through tons of random things, they've already vetted the selections.

The owner, Amanda, is so passionate about her work and kind-hearted. She will greet you warmly and make you feel like you walked into a safe space. While you'll probably visit for all the amazing pieces, Amanda is also focused on community. She almost always invites other creators to come sale their items or provide their services. For example, she had an event with a local coffee pop-up, one with a local seamstress doing on-site alterations, a nail art specialist, and many times other vintage sellers. She's open on most Saturdays from 11am-3pm, but definitely check out her website and instagram for the most up-to-date information. Check out KALEIDOS!1

I used to go to this place when it was in Falls Church City. It was always overpriced and sort of…read moresnooty, but they had some unusual and cool clothing items I purchased over the years. When they moved to McLean earlier this year, I went with about 20 items to put up for consignment. (I had made appointment as they require.) I brought in beautiful clothes, in excellent condition. They took the boxes to the back to inspect the clothing and choose which they wanted to take for consignment; and while that was going on I browsed. I couldn't believe the downgrade in the clothing; while the quality was fine, I did not see anything stylish for sale. I was not even tempted to try anything on. After about 20 minutes the owner comes back and says she cannot take any of my items, although she would consider one in the fall (it was a spring/summer item, as were all the pieces, as this took place in mid-Spring) and I "could come back in a few months." Super dismissive and arrogant. The one good thing was the friendly young man at the counter, who I chatted with while I waited. I see the positive reviews here are years old, so here's an update: NTY management is just as or even more snobby now, the prices are even higher -- not just because of time passing but also likely the expensive location -- and they don't even have cool clothes any more.

The staff were visible and ready to help but not pushy. The inventory was well curated and full but not overly stuffed. I saw a number of nice sweaters and dresses that I liked, and I ended up buying one. Also a lot of fun gifts, jewelry, and assorted decor items. This store is geared toward an older crowd, which I really like. I'm past the age of shopping at some other resale boutiques that focus on only the trendiest items in juniors sizing. New To You is more JCrew and higher-end items. Prices seemed to be about 50 percent off original retail. Could you find some of these items thrifting? Sure, but it'd be like pulling a needle from a haystack. I'm willing to pay more for a tailored selection of good-condition items. I'll come back to shop here.

Their policy requires calling to make an appointment to pick up items or checks. I tried calling for three weeks with no answer. When I finally reached someone and explained that I was on my way to pick up my item, they told me they wouldn't help me without an appointment. The employee kept repeating the rules, even though I explained that I had been trying to reach them for weeks and had already driven 30 minutes to get there. When I arrived, the owner came out only to lecture me about being "rude" to her employee but she couldn't even explain what "rudeness" she was referring to. When I mentioned that no one answers the phone, she said they're too busy and that I should have just kept calling--essentially implying that her time is more valuable than mine. She ended the conversation by telling me that if I didn't like their rules, I should consign elsewhere. It's disappointing to see a business treat loyal customers this way. I'd recommend consigning somewhere that values communication, flexibility, and basic respect.

Your mileage may vary here--if an earlier decade matters to you, you may still be limited to smaller sizes, but that's typical of the hunt for vintage clothes. The pricing seemed reasonable to me, considering the decades represented and the fact that most pieces were in really excellent condition.

The closest comparison I have is Chico's, though this place is independent and the style is artsier. The pieces here are flattering and designed to be both fun but functional/practical, which I appreciate. I see a lot of pieces I think my mom would adore. That said I have, at 33, found that there is one brand there in particular - Ciara Sun Woo - that is ideal for young professionals and I have bought two of this designer's dresses on sale. They use high tech fabrics that are curve flattering and the perfect balance between clingy and drapey, and also they are super work appropriate but can often go day to night and come in nuanced solid colors. The prices on accessories are very reasonable and the clothing, while a little pricey, comes from smaller lesser known brands and they also have good sales. The staff is very friendly and helpful and it's never crowded so you can shop at a leisurely pace. The only flaw is is the location in the Metro mall and I worry about how well any of the businesses are doing in there. I never go into that mall anymore and sometimes forget this shop is there but when I do remember I think, "oh yeah! That place is great I should stop in." So if you're in Rosslyn check it out and support one of the few remaining small businesses in an increasingly corporate, sterile neighborhood.
