The Ruby Slipper

A few years ago my friend introduced me to The Ruby Slipper - a cute Vintage Shop here in Winnipeg. Not only is this a vintage shop, it is also a consignment store (which is great for shopaholics like me)! Consignment stores - for those of you who don't know - take gently used clothes and resell them. So for the regular shoppers, this is a perfect spot to sell clothes and BUY more! 




Back then I was inexperienced at this kind of shopping and hesitantly rummaged through the racks of clothes. But over the years (and with practice) I have become an expert consignment shopper!

I went to drop off some summer clothes that didn't work for me anymore and found some great gems!

I found this white studded tank for under $10.

Casual black and white Melissa dress with original tags!

Super adorable navy and white wedges - great for work- ONLY $7!!

Jessica Simpson black wedges - $4.50 (BEST purchase of the day!)

The best part - even though the prices are SO reasonable - my purchases were taken off of my "tab". (The money that I have built up from the clothes I've sold allows me to buy lots of new clothes!)
