I fell in love with this Tibi dress, Dolce and Gabanna Suit, and the fabulous jewel bib couture dress!

Fantastic Finds Boutique sells all new and hand-picked jewelry. My favorite (and what I walked away with) were the zipper pins/clips that they had. Theresa showed me how to style it by clipping two necklaces together. Genius! I love it!

*See how I wore my zipper pin/clip here!

Plus Clothing in Atlanta, GA

No matter your size or weight, we as women (and men) want to look and feel fabulous. Why are the pickings few and far between if you are "plus size" (size 16 and up)? That is not the case at your Atlanta area consignment stores. We seek to have variety and quality of clothing for women of all sizes. Check out my 3 favorite plus size looks, all pulled from sizes 16 and up.

First up is our casual look. This look is perfect for running errands, meeting some friends for lunch, or going to your child's basketball game. Don't shy away from big patterns and big accessories (yes, even in the same look!). They really pull this outfit together and make it pop!

Next up is our work look. You'll wow everyone at the office in this skirt! Such fun colors in this pattern. Because of the pattern on the skirt, keep the top a solid color. The scarf ties it all together and the broach really jazzes it up!

The last look, and my absolute favorite, is perfect for the Holiday Season coming up: party! This gorgeous purple dress will really stand out in a sea of black and red! Loving the animal print faux fur jacket, as purple mixed with animal print is all the rage this year. And don't forget your bling. Gotta have the bling!!

And the quickest way to update your look without spending a ton of money (because all of our money goes to buying gifts for others this time of year, right?? :) is by getting a few accessories! Just a few key pieces can really kick your style up a notch. I recommend a fabulous pair of shoes, a great bag, or that statement necklace. The bigger and bolder the better!

Finders Keepers Fashions in Avondale Estates and Back By Popular Demand in Lilburn have a big selection of plus size clothing, and many other stores in ACS carry plus sizes. And of course they all carry FABULOUS handbags, jewelry and shoes.

Happy Shopping!!!

The first thing that hit me when I walked into Finders Keepers Fashions was the incredible openness of the store. It's so big! Where to start? The sale section is in a great spot, immediately to the left, near the door. It was very easy to find what I needed as each section was largely labeled and easy to see.

Just like the outdoor window displays, the inside displays are fabulous! Fall colors and textures made me reach for tweed and jackets. I am a lover of jackets and coats, so I was very happy to see a large selection of outerwear!

New ACS Billboard going up soon...

Atlanta Consignment Stores

www.AtlantaConsignmentStores.com, an exciting collaboration happening in the Atlanta shopping scene right now! The brainchild of local shop owner, Melissa Baxter of Back By Popular Demand, AtlantaConsignmentStores.com has been in the works for over a year. By reaching out to consignment shop owners all over the Atlanta area, Melissa is striving to build a resale community that would join forces to promote and market the consignment industry to this city. “After much research I have found that only 10% of the population knows what consignment is and sadly many consumers cluster consignment, thrift and pawn shops in the same category. My vision for ACS is to educate consumers about the benefits of consignment buying and selling while making the consignment scene in Atlanta more visible and user-friendly.”

30 stores strong and growing, the member directory of AtlantaConsignmentStores.com is an easy way for both the novice consignment shopper to find a store nearby or for the experienced resale diva to plan an entire day of consignment shopping in Atlanta. “Everyone will benefit from this site, from the shopper to the consignor to the store owner; it’s a win-win for everyone” says Bonnie Kallenberg of Finders Keepers, a 25 year veteran in the industry and board member of the National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops (NARTS).

What is ACS?
ACS is a collaborative effort on the part of consignment shop owners in the greater Atlanta area with a common vision to promote the consignment industry along with their individual stores. The organization will spend marketing dollars to promote the website which in turn directs the consumer to each individual member store.

Why do we need ACS?
ACS was created because Atlanta has one of the biggest and best collections of consignment shops in the country! Atlanta is the destination of resale bus tours from the National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops to Consignment Chic in Alabama. This city has a lot to offer the resale shopper and now it’s time to let everyone know about it!

When does ACS Launch?
ACS has just launched and that is why we are reaching out to you! We need you to help us create a buzz! Officially we launch Sept. 15th
