A Dash of Flash: Just a Bit of Sparkle Can Make a BIG Impression and Take Your Style from Basic to Fantastic!

Welcome back to The WearHouse blog, where style meets sophistication at Albuquerque's premier women's resale boutique. Today, we're diving into the power of sparkle and how just a dash can transform your entire look. Whether you're dressing up for a night out, attending a special event, or just adding some flair to your day-to-day, a little bit of sparkle goes a long way in elevating your wardrobe.

The Magic of Minimal Sparkle
Sparkle doesn't always mean over-the-top. Sometimes, it's the subtle shimmer that makes the biggest impact. Incorporating small, sparkling details into your outfits can turn an ordinary ensemble into something truly eye-catching.

Accessories That Shine
Start with accessories—a sparkling pair of earrings, a glittering bracelet, or a sequined clutch can instantly elevate your look. These pieces draw attention and reflect light beautifully, adding a touch of glamour without overwhelming your outfit. At The WearHouse, you'll find a variety of accessories that add just the right amount of sparkle.

Statement Pieces
For those days when you feel a bit more adventurous, opt for a statement piece that incorporates sparkle. A sequined jacket, a metallic skirt, or a top with crystal embellishments can serve as the focal point of your outfit. Pair these items with more understated pieces to keep the look balanced and chic.

Footwear with Flair
Don’t forget your feet! Shoes with metallic finishes, rhinestone details, or glitter accents can add a playful and unexpected twist to your look. Whether it’s a pair of sparkly flats for daytime wear or stunning high heels for an evening event, the right footwear can make you feel like you’re walking on stardust.
Tips for Styling Sparkle

Balance is Key: When adding sparkle to your outfit, balance it with more subdued pieces to avoid overwhelming your look.
Day to Night: Don’t be afraid to wear a little sparkle during the day. A glittering accessory or piece of clothing can brighten up your daytime ensemble and transition seamlessly into night.
Mix Textures: Combining different textures with your sparkle—like denim with a sequined top or a wool blazer over a metallic dress—adds depth and interest to your outfit.

SECOND STORY - A WOMENS CONSIGNMENT BOUTIQUE

Welcome to Second Story, Albuquerque's premier consignment Boutique, where excellence, quality, and style are our top priorities. If you're already familiar with the exceptional standards of Gee Loretta!, then you'll know that our commitment to excellence extends to our consignment offerings as well. Join us as we delve into the world of Second Story and discover how last season's styles can transform into someone else's treasures.

Selling with Second Story:
We are delighted to buy your quality clothing, shoes, and accessories and offer them for sale in our WearHouse Boutique. Visit us every Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm to explore our curated collection. Our team carefully examines each item you bring, determining its potential for resale. We'll then email or text you an invoice detailing the items we're interested in and their respective values. You have the choice to accept or decline our offer. If you accept, you'll receive a credit at Gee Loretta - an added bonus! Alternatively, we can issue a check if you prefer.

Drop-off Details:
You can conveniently bring your items to Gee Loretta during our store hours, Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. Our dedicated team is ready to assist you and guide you through the process.

Preparing Your Items:
To ensure a smooth evaluation process, please make sure your clothes are clean, pressed, and placed on hangers. We accept items in "new" or "like new" condition, free from wrinkles, stains, pet hair, or missing buttons. If you're a smoker, we kindly request that you air out or dry clean your items before bringing them in. Remember, the better your items look, the higher the offer we can make!

Items We Accept:
At Second Story, we have a keen eye for fashion and appreciate styles that are in excellent condition, ensuring that our customers find only the best in our Boutique. We prioritize unique and high-quality pieces that stand out from the crowd.
In addition to contemporary fashion, we have a soft spot for fun and fabulous vintage pieces. If you have vintage fashion treasures that are still in great shape and have stood the test of time, we would love to see them. Vintage fashion adds a touch of nostalgia and character to our collection, making it even more diverse and exciting for our discerning clientele.

Donations and Giving Back:
If we determine that some of your items are not suitable for resale, you can let us know whether you'd like them returned or donated. Donated items find a new purpose at the Annex, a local boutique we helped establish to support women reentering the workforce. Nancy and Joy, the amazing ladies behind the Annex, help us match previously loved fashion with someone who will give them a Second Story.

Specialty Items and GeeLuxe:
For valuable designer items such as Louis Vuitton handbags, Chanel scarves, or diamond studs, our expert, Emilia, steps in. She will thoroughly research the value of the item and reach out to you to discuss pricing and the percentage paid to you upon its sale.
