Always on the hunt for great consignment shops {remember Peonies?}, I was very happy when a friend tipped me off about Uptown Consignment on Queen Street in Southington, CT. Located in the same plaza as El Sombrero, Uptown Consignment has something for the whole family.
Uptown carries big designer names like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, etc., for women, but they also have great selections for men, kids, toddlers, and teens. I raided their juniors’ section looking for basics and I found some great tees, tanks, and this cute green Forever 21 sweater for super cheap. If you like Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Hollister, etc., they have tons at Uptown.
I also love their shoe section. They have probably around 50 pairs of shoes on any given day. I bought two pairs of cute ankle boots for less than $5 each! The Mary Janes pictured in the first image were also around $5 or $6.
Not content with just carrying your typical clothes, shoes and jewelry, Uptown also has a nice selection of home furnishings and decorations. I found this unique coffee/tea cup set there {pictured above}. The cups don’t have handles, so they get a little hot, but the set came with these crazy spoons that are bent so that they can rest on top of the cup. Have you ever seen spoons like this before? I haven’t!
