Freedom Defines Fashion at Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop's Fall Merchandise Event!

The dedicated member volunteers at Assistance League® Way Side Inn Thrift Shop, located at 3521 Golden Gate Way, in Lafayette, maintain that this year’s Fall Merchandise Event will call for prior preparation in order for you to maximize your shopping potential. This event will begin on Tuesday, October 15 and will hopefully last until Saturday, September 26, subject to available inventory, of course.

Retailers assert that this year’s fall fashion forecast celebrates freedom; freedom to enjoy all colors, whether bold and bright, soft and subtle, or autumnal and heather-inspired. Fast on the heels of freedom of color, will be freedom in footwear, starting with flats, moving up to wedges, putting your foot down with pumps, ever-timeless, and kicking it up with boots, stylish and sassy. A plethora of colors, textures and treatments will complete this collage de couture.

As for women’s specific apparel, the jacket, previously denied on the fashion radar, has blazed its way back to its rightful place. The longer lengths lend themselves to chic evening apparel, while those shorter in length enhance business attire. This season will also offer sweaters, blouses, shirts, scarves, skirts and pants accented by stripes, plaids, paisley prints and lace. And when colder climes swirl through Diablo Valley, sometimes with little notice, a hefty selection of coats will ward off the late fall-early winter chill.

Likewise, children will find both casual and back-to-school clothing, as well as toys and books. Books to adorn your mantle, shelves and coffee table, as well as a bountiful selection of unique and high end décor items, will add warmth and grace to your home.

Sufficiently prepared, you will now decide if you want to pay full price for these items or discover many of them at Assistance League Way Side Inn Thrift Shop. Not only will you spend a fraction of recommended retail prices, you will invest in the ten philanthropic programs that the thrift shop funds. And you will do so with panache because, after all, presentation is and will remain everything!
