A Hidden Treasure on the Treasure Coast

RESALE BOUTIQUE

By Gina Zuk

The holiday season is quickly approaching, promising festive gatherings with family, friends, and coworkers. Nothing to wear? Tired of the same mundane styles? Or, maybe you just want something unique to spice up your wardrobe! Whatever the situation, Whimsical Resale Boutique carries high-quality, namebrand women’s fashions that are sure to please every style and budget. Diane Albanese and Dawn Clark, co-owners of Whimsical Resale Boutique, had a vision for their family-owned business when they opened in August of 2021. “We noticed, during the pandemic, that people were shopping in thrift stores more often,” Diane elaborates, continuing, “There was a need for a consignment store in the area, so we ventured into the business.” Dawn and Diane defi nitely know what it entails to be successful business owners. Dawn was in the beauty industry while Diane ran a fl oral business for several years, so they both know what it takes to please their customers.

A Refreshing Shopping Experience

Whimsical Resale Boutique is far from just a typical thrift store. It is a beautifully-presented space with women’s clothing, purses, and accessories that appeal to even the most discerning fashionistas. “There are some people [who have] shopped three or four times, and they didn’t even know we are consignment,” declares Diane.

A shopping experience at Whimsical Resale Boutique is di erent each time, making it not only refreshing to just browse around, but also making it a whole lot more fun and exciting than going to a mall or chain department store. Customers will fi nd a variety of designer bags, jeans, and shoes. Aside from designer brands, Whimsical also carries a full line of women’s clothing, including accessories and jewelry to complete the perfect outfi t. Additionally, the store carries gorgeous fl orals, small home goods, and windchimes. Diane explains, “We look up all our merchandise online to make sure we are pricing it correctly. Our customers appreciate our fair pricing.” When a designer handbag comes in, it quickly goes out, most likely due to the fact that the boutique’s many customers know and appreciate the store’s focus on great quality and fair pricing. So, a smart shopping strategy is to stop into Whimsical Resale Boutique as often as possible to claim that amazing fi nd! For the occasional formal event, doesn’t it seem unnecessary to spend hundreds of dollars when you are only going to wear the dress once? Whimsical Resale Boutique carries a full line of formal wear and jewelry pieces that are priced well below retail! The formal attire is even re-steamed to perfection before a customer takes it home. Always dress for success, especially when it comes to your golf game! Whimsical Resale Boutique also carries an assortment of beautiful golf wear in all styles and sizes that is sure to make you look like a pro on the course. Additionally, Diane and Dawn have incorporated Oka.B into their shoe inventory at Whimsical; the boutique is the only merchant in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast that carries this amazing line of sandals! “Although they are not part of our resale items, we sell a lot of them. They are just unique, comfortable, and adorable,” exclaims Diane. Oka.B began as a shoe distributor for luxury spas, integrating the principles of refl exology for ultimate comfort and style. Why not feel like it’s a spa day every day? Check out the assortment of Oka.B sandals — only at Whimsical Resale Boutique!

Thrift shopping will help to reduce the fashion industry’s negative impacts on the environment, as well as decrease waste from the overproduction of new merchandise. Vintage jeans, handbags, and sweaters are all the rage now, too, because of their superior and sustainable quality.
