In the Trenches: From Classic to Unexpected, We Have Your New Go-To Trench at the WearHouse!

As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe with a timeless piece that never goes out of style—the trench coat! This versatile outerwear staple can elevate any outfit, making it a must-have for every fashionista this season.

In the WearHouse, we have curated a stunning selection of trench coats that range from classic silhouettes to unexpected styles that make a statement. Whether you prefer a traditional beige trench for a sophisticated look or something bold and colorful to express your unique style, we have you covered.

Emilia's Look: The Perfect Trench Coat
Our very own Emilia is showcasing some of our favorite trench coats, and it’s the epitome of chic. This particular style combines the classic trench design with modern elements, such as a cinched waist and unique detailing that adds a twist to the traditional look. It’s perfect for layering over dresses, pairing with jeans, or even dressing up for a night out.

Why Choose a Trench Coat?

Versatility: A trench coat is perfect for transitioning between seasons. Layer it over a sweater in cooler months or wear it with a light dress in early fall.
Timeless Appeal: This piece has stood the test of time, making it a wise investment that you can wear for years to come.
Endless Styling Options: Dress it up or down! Pair it with boots for a polished look or sneakers for a more casual vibe.

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.

Experience the thrill of finding hidden treasures, supporting sustainability, and giving your items a chance to continue their story with someone new.
