I love all types of clothes, designer and otherwise, but what's really cool is when you have the opportunity to recycle some of the items in your wardrobe. Want to be a part of a fabulous three-day event? Register today for Green Jeans semi-annual consignment event. I think it's going to be a blast, and I'll be attending for the first time ever, so as a fashion lover, I'm definitely looking forward to the experience.

Each spring and fall, sisters Cindy Williams and Dana Degan host a three-day shopping event in Lake Norman and Fort Mill, S.C., that attracts over 200 consignors and hundreds of shoppers. The sale is open to the public for both consigning and shopping. It's a shopping party and you're all welcomed to come. Just think, consignors can earn up to 75 percent on their clothing, shoes and accessories and possibly pick up a few new designer duds for themselves. That sounds like an awesome day of shopping and saving.

Because I enjoy chatting with women who come up with great fashion ideas, I just had to ask them what inspired them to host the event. "Hosting a Green Jeans shopping event is very rewarding. We love giving women the opportunity to recycle their fabulous fashion for extra dollars and the look on someone’s face when they find the perfect dress or pair of jeans for next to nothing! It is such a fun way to bridge our love of fashion and being ,” explains Cindy and Dana, owners of Green Jeans Consignment.

The actual event will take place in Lake Norman September 22-24 and in Fort Mill October 6-8, but you should get your registration to be a consignor in now. Shoppers can expect a wide variety of designers included in the sale, like Seven for all Mankind, Dooney and Burke, Kate Spade, Ferragamo, Milly, Tory Burch and everyday favorites like Banana Republic, J.Crew and Ann Taylor LOFT.  So mark your calendars, and I'll see you in Lake Norman.
