holiday shopping and saving at 529 kids consign

The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas can be fun, yet very stressful and expensive! Especially for those of us with small children. Holiday attire for kids can be pricey, and there is no chance that next year they will fit into what you buy this year. At 529 Kids Consign, we want to help eliminate some of the stress and costs associated with the holiday season. By shopping local at 529 Old Town or Hollin Hall, you can save money on all of your holiday needs. From attire for your kiddos to gifts we have you covered this year. Here are some shopping tips and items to look for to help you navigate your way to a stress-free, less costly holiday season, while making sure your kids look their absolute best!

1. Holiday dresses for little gals
We have a beautiful assortment of designer holiday dresses from Florence Eiseman, Hanna Andersson & more! (Prices range from $14-$22!)

2. Christmas clothing for dapper dudes
Jon Jon’s are a must for any preppy Old Town little guy, and we have them from Little English, Shrimp & Grits and more from $14-$19! Jon Jon’s not your thing? We have beautiful sweater vests from Ralph Lauren and blazers from Lands-End too! You can put together an outfit for that dapper dude for under $30!

3. Fresh socks and tights.
There is nothing worse than realizing too late that you do not have clean socks or tights without snags for that holiday party. We have tights and socks on consignment for under $3 and we also carry Jefferies socks and tights and Ruffle Butts footless tights, all under $10.

4. Dress Shoes
Dress shoes are something that no one wants to spend a ton of money on. Kids barely wear them and grow out of them so quickly. Grab a pair of patent leather Mary Janes from Cole Haan or Primigi or a pair of pedi-ped loafers, all for under $20!

5. Bows and Ties
Hair bows and bow ties are a must to top off any holiday look! We carry bow ties from local company Rock the Casbow and also support another local mom with our colorful assortment of hair bows from Pretty Little Polka Dot boutique. Bows and ties are under $12.

6. After pulling together the perfect holiday look for your little elves, grab a gift or two. Choose from a well-curated selection of gifts from mom-owned businesses local and nation-wide all for under $30!

Shop Local this holiday season and SAVE! Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays from everyone at 529!

Megan’s career in retail/merchandising began in the mid nineties standing in front of a woodsy smelling Abercrombie and Fitch. Sporting an oversized plaid flannel and bootcut jeans she said hello to every customer that eagerly walked in to the popular retailer. Little did Megan know that, while creating a perfect “denim wall”and dressing in all of the latest fashion that the lifestyle brand offered she was building the foundation for her fun and exciting career! After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, Megan managed multiple A&F stores before she moved on to an assistant buyer position in contemporary dresses at the local Arlington based retailer Hecht’s (now Macy’s). She gained an immeasurable amount of knowledge before moving onto a different facet of the business at Calvin Klein Jeans. Megan worked her way from retail coordinator to East-Coast regional manager helping to create the Calvin Klein aesthetic in department stores from Boston to Miami. After her first son Ethan was born, her position at CKJ was eliminated, due to the harsh economic conditions at the time. This is how 529 was born! Megan quickly began to see how fast Ethan was growing out of his clothing. She knew other moms had the same amount of adorable “gently-worn” clothing piling up. Combining her love of retail and her obsession with dressing Ethan gave her the idea to try and sell this clothing. 529 became a popular “pop-up” shop in the Alexandria area and once the following was big enough, a brick and mortar store in historic Old Town. 529 Kids Consign exemplifies who Megan is and what she has learned throughout her career. It’s a warm, well-organized, well- edited boutique that attracts moms from all over the DC metro area. On any given visit to the store you may be greeted by three boys dressed to the nines..they too have the passion.
