Transcript

Little consignment store shopping tip for you. Look for clothes that look really weird on the hanger. I got this dress at Labels consignment in Atlanta. Labels consignment actually has an outlet, so that's where all the deeply discounted stuff goes because nobody bought it. And you know what? I think nobody bought this dress because it looked so weird on the hanger. It made absolutely no sense. It's by Isa Arfen. Little bit niche, which is another of the reasons that I think it was discounted. People weren't as familiar with the designer. Got this dress, Isa Arfen dresses retailed for $700-$1,099+. For under $20. This dress is hand-painted, so it is quite literally a work of art. Incredible dress. I am wearing it with a vintage, faux leather, saddle bag.
