kudos to Kelsey's Kloset!

I know giving experiences is the hip thing to do but you gotta buy clothes sometime, right?  Why not buy secondhand from a local young entrepreneur who has just opened up a consignment shop?

The "North Laurel teen opens high-end, secondhand clothes store" headline at Explore Howard caught my eye.  The article by Sara Toth introduces us to Kelsey's Kloset, a new, recently-opened women's clothing store started by 19-year-old Kelsey Kleinhen.

I swung by Kelsey's Kloset on the way home from work (okay, it wasn't really on the way home, but it wasn't too far out of the way) and browsed a bit.  The store is set up beautifully-- it has a very boutique-y vibe.

Much of the mall-brand clothing skewed a tad younger than my taste, but there was a lot beyond that-- shoes, suits, jackets, blazers, and dresses (both casual and formal).  I nabbed an adorable H&M cowl neck sweater for six dollars-- something I was trying to find this past weekend but struck out on.

I can see teenagers having a blast at Kelsey's Kloset.  Shoppers who don't have a lot of cash can get a lot more bang for their buck here, and without sacrificing the brands they want to wear.  A fun holiday gift could be a mini-shopping spree at Kelsey's Kloset.

As for myself, I will definitely be swinging by when I need a cute jacket or a sweater or a pair of jeans. 

It was a little difficult for me to find-- it's in the Cherry Tree Center shopping center close to Maple Lawn-- the red one that you can see from Rt. 29 with the Music and Arts.  The store doesn't have a bright red sign (yet?) but it's in the middle of the strip, or the end of the upper parking lot. 

Check it out!  And best of luck to Kelsey's Kloset.
