Farewell Lulu:(

Previously I blogged about my addiction to Lululemon.

Well recently I sold some of my Lulu...

I took eight Lulu items to Rikochet Resale on Strandherd Rd. They accepted five items.  They had a promotion going on for Lululemon clothing, where it was a 60/40 split in which I earned 60% of the sale!  Normally it is the opposite, 40/60 split, you would earn 40% of the sale.  

You register with the store then you get a card to scan to keep track of your sales.  I went back a week later and I earned $63 with the sale of three items.  

They are very selective but do have a lot of nice name brand items.

Definitely some competition for Act 2, the other consignment shop in Barrhaven on Fallowfield Rd.

I broke

So if you recall I said I would not be buying anything clothing wise.  Well I broke down and did buy an outfit for holiday celebrations.

I left it to the last minute.  So I couldn't come to your closet to borrow something. Literally, two hours before my staff party, I was at Act 2 looking for something.

Staff party!  Hat was not part of the original outfit but a great addition!  Pink blouse & vest!!

Christmas Day!  Again hat and glasses not part of original outfit.

I also wore this to Breton's team's hockey party.

No the vest is not real fur.  But I did have people petting me;(

Act 2

As I mentioned yesterday, I am a fan of the store Act2.  It is an upscale consignment store in Barrhaven (there is also a Kanata location).  I have brought clothing there to sell and the last time I did it was a 40-60 split.  You can bring in up to ten items and you must make an appointment to do so.  They look over your items right away and you have the choice to donate anything that doesn't sell or you can go back and pick it them up.

They sell many brand names and often have really good sales at the end of the season.

Just Add Colour

This is my closet.  I arrange my clothing by colours and I continue to try and add more colour.  Notice the black section has the most.  I stole this or adopted this idea of organizing by colour from a store here in Barrhaven called Act 2.  They have way more clothes than I do but to see it all arranged by colours, like a rainbow of inspiration just makes me smile.
