I have been driving by Sherry's Closet for about a month since I moved down here and have been wanting to stop in. So, I finally went here on a Friday afternoon. WOW!!! What a great find!
As far as what is in the store, it is not a huge place but boy does she (Sherry) pile the stuff in. Mostly women's clothes but she also has mens, childrens (clothes, shoes, and games/toys) and house stuff (lamps, utensils, vases, glasses,etc.) There were also shoes but not too many. There were women's handbags as well. And books...lots of books :)
Where does it all come from? Well, I asked Sherry and she said almost all the clothes come from estate sales. I was so happy to hear that as I have bought so many beautiful pieces at estate sales, which, as I understand are sales of all items from a house where someone either passed away, or must move and needs to sell things.
What did I find? Well, I have to brag here...I found two suits. One, a Dolce & Gabbana black skirt suit that was marked down from $50 to $25. Actually, it was half off of everything in the store when I went. The other is a red Gaultier skirt suit which is vintage and absolutely beautiful. It was ten bucks. I repeat, ten bucks.
As for who was shopping there, a few women walked in and they were 60+...I figured this explains why there are so many "younger" styles amongst the racks (including size 4 skirt suits!!) which is great for us 30/40-something folks!
I will be stopping here at least every other weekend. A full bag of clothes (including my suits, 3 shirts for my fiance, pajama for my friend, handpainted wine glass, 2 books, gym pants, and beautiful off-the-shoulder BCBG shirt= $46.
Happy bargain shopping! read more
