As I approach the holidays, my buying habits change to only giving and no more getting for me. Unfortunately, it's also the same time of the year that your social calendar requires you to look your festive best.
Ain't it ironic that Timing and Budget do not place nicely with each other?
However, I did find out they can compromise. Let me introduce you to my new guiltless pleasure, Clothes Circuit.
A 30-year-old tradition in the Park Cities, Clothes Circuit offers women one-of-kind upscale consignment fashion with clothing essentials, shoes, accessories, coats, bags, handbags and jewelry. Owned by Irene Mylan, the Clothes Circuit gives you the labels you want to buy at prices you can actually afford (and still buy Christmas.)
With more than 500 items are introduced to the floor daily bearing labels from the world’s top designers and upscale retailers such as Trina Turk, St. John, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Marni, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Burberry and more. Clothes Circuit also carries everyday office-appropriate options from Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Chico’s, The Gap, and Cole Haan.
A woman with little time to spend on shopping for herself, I immediately spotted a huge number of Louis Vuitton handbags and suitcases. Followed by several pairs of Jimmy Choos I couldn't wait to put on my feet. I was already reeled in now, so off to the racks to see if there was anything that I had to have.
Of course, I found some. A lot of some. Somewhere between the devoted Tory Burch rack, a Michael Kors Black trench and lovely gold frock (holiday attire is only available from now until the end of the year), I couldn't help from seeing all the fantastic labels that I just couldn't believe was available AND I could consider buying it.
While I've enjoyed my time there, I have to admit, I hope this new-found-fun doesn't turn like my Starbucks. From just special occasions to now multiple times a day, I'm now a gold card carrier of the coffee giant. Thankfully, Clothes Circuit doesn't have a frequent shopper card or the Christmas tree at my house might look bare.
At least I'll look good.
