GW Boutique by Thread Conscious

Apr 1, 2011 by Clueless Fashionista

The other day I was browsing around the very cute Thread Conscious blog. I’ve posted articles from there here in the past but I hadn’t visited in a while so I stopped by to see what was happening with the fabulous Nik who writes Thread Conscious. I initially noticed that she’s been busy posting lots of great fashion related things going on in Dallas, TX but then I saw a post mentioning the GW Boutique. I was intrigued because as I read the post, I noticed that the GW stood for Goodwill.

I know I haven’t done a lot on thrifting here aside from this video where I showed you my recent purse purchases, but it is a great way to add to your wardrobe without spending much money. I do plan on doing more in the future so stay tuned.

But I digress…

I was so interested in this GW Boutique that I searched Thread Conscious for other posts that gave more detail and I found one. Apparently, Goodwill Industries has decided to create a retail shopping experience where you get thrift store prices but in an environment that feels less like thrifting and more like boutique shopping. This looks fabulous! I immediately pulled up the website and was saddened to see that there is only one GW Boutique right now, in Keller, Texas. So if any of you guys are in that area, I suggest you check it out but before you do, visit these posts on Thread Conscious and get some insight into what to expect.

Update: GW Boutique 2011

And a note to the folks over at Goodwill Industries, please look into putting more of the boutiques in other cities. *cough* Atlanta…Just saying…
