Shift is my favorite place to shop in Pittsburgh! Here are a few of the many things I love about Shift:
1. It's a small, local, woman-owned business. I love to support other women in our community -- and the ladies of Shift are some of my very favorite people!
2. A large selection of pre-owned items on consignment = good for the planet. The team at Shift is helping to keep these clothes and accessories out of our landfills - thank you!!
3. The items at Shift are extremely size-inclusive (XXS-4X), excellent quality, highly curated mix (not an overwhelming browsing experience at all), and affordable for any budget (fast fashion to designer). They also frequently have great sales!
4. Shift's staff is comprised of trained personal stylists, and they provide a uniquely personalized shopping experience - especially if you are a returning customer. If you let them know you are coming ahead of time, they will pull together a fitting room for you with items they think you will like, based on what they already know about your style, size, and budget.
5. Shift is following all COVID-19 retail best practices, and the shopping experience feels very safe. I have personally shopped there 3 times since March 2020, and have had an amazing experience every time. If you are still uncomfortable shopping in-person, you can shop with Shift online via their Poshmark closet (@shopstyleshift), or order a Shift Style Box (similar to StitchFix concept) to be delivered directly to your home, which you can return by mail with a pre-paid mailing label. If you have ever been disappointed with a StitchFix box - try the Shift Style Box! It is so much more personally curated and the items are higher quality at a better price.
I cannot say enough good things about Shift. If you enjoy the thrill of consignment shopping (never know what treasures you will find) and the customer service and personal attention of shopping somewhere like Norstrom - then you will love Shift too! read more
