My Roommate's Closet
You've loved them on Fillmore Street in the city and now East Bay gals can enjoy My Roommate's Closet's recently opened second location in Walnut Creek. The overstock buyout boutique with class has an ever-changing array of merchandise (you'll never have to pine for that pricey Catherine Malandrino blouse you saw last season) and is the master at keeping it fresh which is why it is our secret weekly stop. They take stock from fashion forward
boutiques in the area and then offer it at a fraction of the
original price. Best friends and bargain-lovin' owners Cate
& Suzanne have created a friendly, no-pressure, shopping
environment whose attitude is more "if you don't love it don't buy it" as opposed to the "it's totally fabulous on you,
you should get it" mantra that often annoys savvy
shopaholics. Unlike other off-price boutiques, the
merchandise here is in tip-top shape and is not relegated to
sizes that are only suitable for teensy or tall ladies. Blue
jean babes can often find Hudson's and Blue Cults on the
cheap- double wow! Honey, who cares if it came out last
season- you'll leave looking haute with the bonus of a few
extra bucks in your bag.
