Consignment sale to offer trendy tween, teen clothes - WRAL

Posted: 08 Aug 2010 10:41 AM PDT

Upscale Resale has featured the best of children's clothes at twice yearly consignment sales in western Wake County for a few years. The sale has offered only high-end children's clothing in newborn to size 12.

But this summer, the sale is expanding to include trendy clothes for tweens and teens, making it unique among the region's consignment sales.

Sale owner Toni Carpenter's kids were barely in elementary school when she and friend Katy Williams first started the sale in 2007. Now Toni has a son headed to middle school and, as she tells me, "we're buying Abercrombie and Aeropostale and it's expensive."

Toni spoke with some of her consignors whose kids also were aging out of the sale and she decided to give it a try.

"My biggest concern was whether or not teens would be willing to wear previously owned clothing," Toni tells me. "Several moms assured me that going green is where it's at and their tweens and teens are very interested in doing their part to reduce, reuse, recycle (and make a little green as well)."

Like the children's clothing it sells, Upscale Resale will only accept certain brands for tweens and teens. You can see the full list by clicking here and scrolling down.

The sales fall/winter season sale is scheduled for Aug. 12 to Aug. 14 at the Cary Masonic Lodge. And there's still plenty of time to get your kids to clean out their closets. Registration for consignors is open.

Supply crazy: Parents, kids flock to stores on 2nd tax-free day - High Point Enterprise

Posted: 08 Aug 2010 10:49 AM PDT

HIGH POINT – For Delena Queen, shopping on Saturday was all about saving money on back-to-school items.

"We're getting all of our school supplies and clothes today," she said while her son, David, filled a shopping cart in Target with erasers and colored pencils. "We tried to get here before everybody else."

Like other shoppers in the store, Queen ventured out to take advantage of the state's sales tax holiday weekend during which back-to-school items like supplies and clothing are exempt from sales tax. Saturday usually is the busiest day of the weekend for retailers.

Queen said the savings that the holiday offers are important to her family.

"It can help out quite a bit," she said about the elimination of the sales tax. "It especially helps out when you think about all of the items you have to buy for school every year."

J.C. Penney store manager David Reese said that back-to-school shopping for many parents had become a summer-long process as local schools began requiring students to wear uniforms.

"We carry those uniform items, and a lot of times moms and dads will buy it whenever we get their child's size in," Reese said. "We expect to see a lot of people, but it's two-fold for that reason. We've sold a lot of uniforms all summer."

Omega Sports saw increased traffic from the sales tax holiday on Saturday because sports and recreation equipment that is $50 or less per item was also exempt from sales tax. Kim Davis bought two pairs of sneakers for her son, Blake, who's entering first grade, at the store.

"This is our first year doing this since (Blake) is going to be in first grade, Davis, of Archdale, said. "We shopped last night, too. We've seen a few crowds."

But the sales tax isn't the only discount that's helping Davis out this weekend, she said. Many stores also run additional sales to draw customers in, which allow shoppers to save even more.

"A lot of places are having these big sales on top of what's already going on," she said. "That's what's really helping you out in savings this weekend."

Store managers said they expect to see light crowds today as the tax-free holiday comes to an end.
