SECOND CHANCES

Do you love wearing the creme de la creme of fashion, but can’t always afford the fancy prices? Newbury Street offers some solutions.

Second Time Around is a consignment shop that won’t date itself with items more than two years old. Mixing gently worn tops, pants and skirts with new overstocks, the shop has fashionistas swooning over names like Bisou-Bisou, Dolche & Gabbana, Gianni Versace, and Theory, as well as a variety of shoes and bags. The shop has implemented a special pricing system where items are dated and then their prices are reduced depending on the amount of time they’ve been on the rack.
