Dress to Impress
New this fall, from Ann McCabe, owner of Rick Rack in Minneapolis: Lily & Violet, a retail website focused on feminine, modern women’s clothing. Think dresses, skirts, and accessories—plus, some one-of-a-kind European flea-market finds. Best part: most pieces ring in under $100!

Personal Shopping on a Dime
Michelle Dustin’s first job as a teen was at an Arc’s Value Village. Years later, she’s back: as a personal shopper. “I’m often complimented on what I’m wearing. When I tell people I got it at a thrift store, they say they get overwhelmed and leave before finding anything,” she says. To revamp your wardrobe on the cheap, just book an appointment, give Dustin a few vital stats, and walk into an Arc’s to find a rack full of complete-outfit picks. The hour-plus session is free, so you can save your cash for the clothes. “They can walk away with essentially a whole new wardrobe,” she says.
