Shift Chic: Tran-Seasonal Ensembles!

Shift Chic: Styles that Stay Cool from Late Summer to Early Fall!
Welcome back to The WearHouse blog, your go-to source for the best in women's consignment fashion. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures start to dip, it’s time to embrace the versatile and stylish pieces that effortlessly transition from late summer to early fall. Our model Emilia is here to show you how to master tran-seasonal fashion with chic outfits that keep you cool and stylish during this in-between season.

Emilia’s Tran-Seasonal Ensembles
Breezy Maxi Dresses with Lightweight Jackets
Emilia starts with a beautiful breezy maxi dress, perfect for those warm late summer days. Pair it with a lightweight denim or leather jacket as the evenings get cooler. This combination offers a balance of comfort and style, making it easy to stay fashionable no matter the temperature.

Layered Tops with Cropped Pants
Next, Emilia demonstrates the art of layering with a light, airy blouse worn over a tank top, paired with cropped pants. This look is ideal for transitioning from hot days to cooler nights. Simply remove the blouse when it’s warm, and add it back on as the temperature drops.

Knit Sweaters with Summer Shorts
For a playful twist, Emilia shows us how to pair cozy knit sweaters with summer shorts. This unexpected combination is perfect for early fall, when it’s too warm for full-length pants but too cool for sleeveless tops. Add a pair of stylish ankle boots to complete the look.

Versatile Midi Skirts with Statement Tops
Emilia also rocks a versatile midi skirt, paired with a statement top. Midi skirts are perfect for tran-seasonal dressing because they offer coverage without being too heavy. Opt for a bold, printed top or a lightweight sweater to keep the look fresh and exciting.

Tips for Tran-Seasonal Dressing

Layer Smartly: Invest in lightweight jackets, cardigans, and blouses that can be easily added or removed.
Choose Versatile Pieces: Look for items that can be dressed up or down, such as midi skirts, cropped pants, and maxi dresses.
Mix Textures: Combine different fabrics like denim, leather, and knits to create interesting and functional outfits.
Accessorize Wisely: Scarves, hats, and belts can add an extra layer of warmth and style without making you too hot.

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.
