When the rich snowbirds leave South Florida in April for points North, many clean out their closets and get rid of cocktail dresses and gowns that were worn in “the season”. Heaven forbid one should wear the same dress for two seasons. The upshot of that? It’s an ideal time to go fashion hunting at consignment shops from Jupiter and Boca Raton to Palm Beach and Wellington. At some of the shops you’ll find antiques and collectibles as well, and there’s a consignment shop too for men. Where to go? Here’s a list put together by colleagues at Discover the Palm Beaches. Love to hear if you have any others as well!
