Shop:
Hunt and gather! There is nothing more exiting than hunting through a shop filled with merchandise in search of “it”. Maybe your “it” can be a pair of gently worn Louboutins or is your “it” is a gorgeous pale pink Chloe frock. But it’s the unknown that lurks in the racks that keep us coming back for more. Closet Connection – one of Southie’s favorite consignment boutiques – is chock-full of women’s clothing and accessories just ripe for the picking and is offering a special deal for CIS readers! $50 voucher for just $30! http://deals.cis-staging.q9hwj0b7-liquidwebsites.com/Closet-Connection/South-Boston/02127/de…
