We save energy. The eco-friendly store.
We are implementing an eco-friendly management model in our shops in order to reduce energy consumption by 20%, introducing sustainability and efficiency criteria. This management model sets out measures to be applied to all processes, including the design of the shop itself, the lighting, heating and cooling systems and the possibility of recycling furniture and decoration.
We produce less waste and recycle. Recycling hangers and alarms, which are picked up from our shops and processed into other plastic elements, is an example of our waste management policy. Millions of hangers and alarms are processed each year and both the cardboard and plastic used for packaging are also recycled.”
I love it when a retailer conscientiously places value on the environment and tries to minimize waste accordingly.

Long sweater vest find. H&M. Discovered at Plato’s Closet.
It comes down to past my knees, which might be weird for some, but I love it. It’s so cozy, like I’m sporting a blanket around all day. The deep, jumbo-sized pockets are a nice, practical touch as well.
When was the last time you saw pockets that large on a women’s garment?
thrift and consignment shopping finds!
It was definitely a fruitful shopping day for me at the thrift and consignment shops!
I found this amazing bag (and all the goodies in it!)
I love this red floral maxi skirt! I’ve been looking to add maxi skirts into my wardrobe. The red floral print is cheery! I could take in the waist a bit, however!
I don’t typically go for rompers myself due to the awkward bathroom situation, but I’m a sucker for ditsy floral prints. I couldn’t help myself with this one. The fit is great, but I do need to reinforce the buttons and add a hook-and-eye closure between the bust to stop gaping.
I also scored a great tweed skirt. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good picture because my kitty kept attacking it. She loves attacking anything with an interesting texture. This skirt needs to be taken in at the waist! I hope my Singer will be able to handle this.
And here’s the outfit I wore! I went for something ultra feminine with the lace and crochet dress, my comfortable 3″ raffia wedges, and my vintage Dooney & Bourke find from a thrift shop in Calistoga (love this bag so much!).
Some of my finds I’ll definitely have to patch up, however, like this paisley maxi dress. It’s a size medium, but a couple stitches to the backside will make the bodice fit much better and fix the sag!
Needless to say, I’m pretty thrilled! It’s always a good idea to stop into thrift or consignment shops at least once a week. You’ll never know what knew goodies will turn up!
