Refinery Resale

As a resale shop, you would think I would avoid and/or downplay the so called competitions. "So Called" because honestly other like minded shop are not my competition. Oh no verily my friend. Queen bee's nemesis is pretty much any one who wants the cool kids dollar. That means you : Craft Beer. And you: Indiana T shirt. And of course you: Cronut. 
That being said, I went to The Refinery Resale on 82nd and Allisonville Rd ( by Trader Joes) to take some designer jeans my fat ass couldn't fit into anymore and also buy stuff. It is a lovely store with aged barn wood walls, antlers and the appropriate air of a fancy pants boutique. Right off the bat, this amazing vintage piece caught my eye, a full length green and navy striped shirt maxi dress priced at $200. Well, it was fabulous. There were a few other pieces priced around that and some 50's day dresses about $65 also v cute. Mostly designer things best of;": Phillip Lim layered jacket, parachute long bronze Donna Karan skirt, Worth camel and black oh so dramatic cape and a Vuitton with an odd fur trim and a black denim fabric, dis not love but it stood out for sure. Hoping for more shoes, sad face, but I did snag some basic brown combat boots to replace last years ( why are they all that pleather stuff? I mean every dang last one). Anyhoo, check it out, I was assured fall stuff is coming out ASAP
