3 - 2 - 1...SHOP!!!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Don't get me wrong, I do love the holidays, but Consignment Sale Season comes in a pretty close second, and FINALLY the time has come. The sale season kicks off this Saturday with the CMOMs Sale at a brand new location with extended shopping hours!! Yes, I am biased because I am a MOM, but this truly is one of the best sales around. I asked around to see if others thought it was as awesome as I do, and here are some of the responses I got:

"I Love shopping the CMOMs Sale because I always find amazing deals on highly quality items!"
Dana E.

"I love the CMOMs sale because of the quality, prices and incredible selection of kids clothing and toys because with multiples there is usually two of everything!!"

"I love shopping the CMOMs sale because I love name brand clothing like Gap Kids, Gymboree, Janie and Jack, and more but can't always afford to buy it new. I can get my duo a full seasonal wardrobe of name brand clothing and shoes at a price I can live with!"

Jodi V.

"I love shopping the CMOMs sale because the volunteers are so efficient and friendly and the selection is amazing! I can always find what I am looking for and know that everything offered is in  great condition."

Cyndi S.

So what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar, let the hubby know he'll have kid duty, and get ready to "Shop 'Til You Drop"!!!

There are lots of other GREAT sales coming soon, too. Check out our list here. We're especially excited about newcomer Just a Week Boutique coming in March!!

Also, another Charlotte Style Exchange giveway coming on our Facebook page on Monday!!
