I can't hate on consignment stores, because I think they serve such a great purpose on many levels.  My sisters closet is one of those stores I give the benefit of the doubt to, but unfortunately, just to much to say in regards to good and bad here.

For the good, they have a really nice selection of clothing.  Prices seemed reasonable and fair, and they had racks and racks and racks of everything here.  Shoes, purses, pants, suits, skirts, tops and blouses etc.  

The downer?  The entire store consisted of mostly smalls and medium sizes, with a handful of larges.  um, not everyone is a small.  I ended up chatting with another customer who was having the same difficulty as I was. Wheres the XL's?  Its all geared towards smaller sized individuals.  This is upsetting.  We both walked out empty handed because we are not medium sized gals.  Im not saying Im a fatty, but I cant possibly squeeze into a medium sized pant or top.

Im upset about that, along side the fact that the parking lot here is a complete and udder disaster.  gravel, construction cones, dead end parking isles, and the so forth.  I dont hold my sisters closet responsible for that persay, BUT, it makes me more upset and frustrated when I want to support a place like this and I cant even get in and out within reason.  Driving in here is at best one car at a time.

parking aside, I may or may not be back. They really need to bring in more reasonable sizes because Im not shopping at a place that doesnt carry my size.

I used to be a fan of this My Sister's Closet...my how things have changed.  The parking lot is an absolute disaster!!  I would rather hear about Jon & Kate and Speidi all day long than deal with this parking lot.  It's a human sized maze full of dead ends, potholes, construction cones and more, minus the yummy cheese at the end.  You'd be better off parking across the street and then frogger-ing it back across scottsdale rd!!

Once you're inside you'll be slightly disappointed.  I would have expected a better selection given the economy (more ppl consigning, right?).  However it looks as though more people are trying to save money by purchasing consigned goods---very picked over.  

My Sister's Closet is still a great company though so I highly recommend their other locations---especially the 20th st and camelback one.  But until all of the construction is done, this one is not worth it!

Goodies galore at My Sister's Attic!  Very impressive selection of designer labels and very organized.  The latest denim names to Louis Vuitton gently used bags.  I plan to revisit when I have more time.  Very friendly staff also!

Not sure what the address was, but know this was a newer store around Pinnacle Peak.  I had been referred by a girlfriend whose super successful realtor boss shops there.  I was very impressed and have been consignment shopping in Denver for years.  This was luxe, organized, and had very nice staff, roomy dressing rooms and a great selection.  Will absolutely go back next time I'm in town.

This location of My Sisters Attic is located in a plaza on the southeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Lincoln Drive.  Their other stores: My Sister's Attic, Well Suited, and Small Change (children's and maternity clothing and toys) are located right next door.  As always credit from any of their stores is good at all locations, so if you're looking to pick up clothes for yourself, the kids, and the hubby you can do it all here. It tends to get a little crowded back in the dressing room area, but they do have a lot of them, so you'll never wait long.  

My strategy is this: go through the whole store and then try on everything you liked at once as this will save you time in the dressing room line (if there is one). It is a fairly sizeable store and they have quite a bit of designer clothing at this location.  Everything in the shop is a recognizable brand, or it is just too cool/cute to pass up.  I found some very nice hiking/workout/walk the dog pants there to replace a favorite pair that were too big for me.  

I thought it was unlikely that I would find any pants to fit me at My Sister's Closet when I first read about the store on yelp, but I decided to check them out anyway.  I am petite and it is most noticeable in my legs, I have a 27" inseam and this is hard to shop for at times.  Luckily though, other petite women are into My Sister's Closet and I find some nice petite length pants from time to time.  They do not have special thingies on the hangers to note the petites, you'll just have to look at the bottom of the rack to see which pants are shorter compared with the rest (easier than checking all the inside tags, and some may have been hemmed so the tag wouldn't be helpful in that case).  

Overall, this is a nice shop, but it can be busy at times.  They remedy this by having about 5 or 6 sales people on the floor: buying stuff from you, stocking, organizing, maintaining the dressing rooms, and helping you with any of the case items you'd like to see.  They keep the expensive purses ($100+) in a tall and long glass case, it is like the great wall of purses, except not really blocking you off from anything and just big enough to be drool inducing.  The sales people are wonderful and they are women of all ages, shapes and sizes which is great because it reflects who the stores customers are as well.  Don't think this is just a shop for skinny young fashionistas.  There is something for everyone here, so bring in the clothes you no longer wear and have some fun trying on clothes from My Sister's Closet.

Wow, used clothes that don't smell like old people or fendi...where am i? Oh, My Sister's Closet, that's where. I didn't have much time to scour the racks when I was here the other day, but here are a few things I noticed:

a. great organization. the rack groupings are neat and easy to explore.
b. special section for designer items
c. designer shoes in my size! oh mama!
d. cute purses and other brand new looking accessories

yeah, and i'm still thinking about the isaac mizrahi pumps i saw so i will probably go back.

I recently purchased a "Prada" handbag which supposedly was authentic.  Actually bought it for $225.00 and found out that it was a FAKE!!  
Please make sure if you purchase a so called designer handbag, that you can return it if its not real.  I am very unhappy and hopefully they will take it back...if not, I will let you know!!

This is a fun place to find used clothing. The prices are decent and the store is fairly organized.

Like any other place like this, you have to be lucky. I found a Vuitton bag, Coach shoes (in my size!!) for really inexpensive. I've been a few other times and didn't find anything (or found it to be too expensive).

Seems like all the high-end things are on consignment, which means the price could be iffy (high or low). But I'm very pleased with my shoes and bag.

This is the only consignment shop I visit.  It's conveniently located next to my favorite local Trader Joe's, so I tend to stop by when I'm on a grocery mission.

It's a fun place to spend a lot of time browsing.  You really need to take your time there before finding something that works.  It's hit or miss with fashion finds, but I'm a fan overall.

Among the coolest things I've scored: tweed pencil skirt, DKNY sweater and a massive Smokey Quartz cocktail ring set in sterling silver.  God, I love that ring and it was only $15.

When I first started shopping there a year ago, they took a lot of my gently used or new designer duds.  Lately (probably given the economy), they are taking less of my stuff.  I'm guessing they are getting fancier items as more people are getting desperate.  I notice they almost always accept designer jeans.  

Clothes are arranged by color, which is interesting.  Great for finding skirts, jewelry and bags.  Wouldn't recommend getting your basic shirts or shoes there, better deals are often found at my local T.J. Maxx, Marshall's or even Nordstrom Rack.

I love My Sister's Closet and was thrilled to discover it on a recent trip to Trader Joe's.  It is packed with amazing bargains on really cool clothes, bags, etc.  Most of the stuff I looked at was near brand new...cast off by a Scottsdale chickadee with a budget bigger than mine.  I have no shame!

I always check out the handbags first because you can find some amazing bargains.  And lets face it, if you want nice high quality bags, who can afford to have one for every outfit or season.  

Love this place!  Thanks Trader Joe's for being strategically located!

Ladies if you love thrifting than you will love this place. A store dedicated to a classy thrifting experience just for women. I tend to forget about this place, but as I was driving down Scottsdale Rd the other day and noticed it I promised myself it was time to go back.

As I arrived yesterday I was looking to find some nice and airy summer dresses, shoes, and accesories. It was very busy for 3 pm so I knew the bargains may be hard to find. Luckily to my surprise I found a Juicy dress for twenty dollars and a cute yellow sundress for only ten! I had no luck in the shoes or accesories, but the Juicy dress made my day.

This place is all about luck which is why I don't think to go there very often. But before you shell out your money on something new why not see what you can find here?

Stay away from this business!  They are dishonest!  Do not drop your clothes off here, donate them to charity.  They can not account for items dropped off and then sold..Repeated attempts the resolve the problem have ended in frustration.  We will be reporting them to the BBB.  Do everyone a favor and go elsewhere!

selection is minimal...they seem to have too much in the way of tiny Scottsdale sizes...You can find a great deal on a handbag or possibly designer denim but the rest just appears to be overpriced thrift store merchandise. The staff appears to be overworked and tired...too busy to take the time to help anyone

I find this location better than the Town  & Country store. Your best bet is accessories. I found a precious pair of Diesel flats for $12.50. The handbags are pricey but good brands such as Mulberry, Prada, etc...I found that a lot of the clothes weren't as current as I hoped but I did catch them in between seasons.
