It is not every day that I ascertain a new abundance with aboriginal name cast commodity at super bargain prices.
So, it was a very good day back I chock-full in Camille's Administration Abundance Aperture in Murfreesboro.
"We've been accessible for nine months, and we advertise flush administration abundance ladies accoutrement at 50 to 80 percent off retail. It is all cast new, and all aboriginal quality," said Camille Arkenberg, who owns and operates the abundance with her husband, Jason, and a little advice from their 8-year-old twins.
The Arkenbergs had operated an online eBay abundance for about three years and absitively aftermost year to accessible a retail storefront to advertise some of the overstocks and "store-pull" commodity they buy from several vendors.
The small, well-merchandised shop, aloof off Northfield Boulevard, carries sizes XS through 3X in ladies clothing. Virtually aggregate in the boutique is $15 or less, with the best big-ticket allotment I saw actuality a $52 Calvin Klein black dress, with aboriginal tags assuming the "first price" was $240.
You will see some added higher-end brands like 7 For All Mankind, Miss Me jeans, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Karen Kane, Jones NY and August Silk, as able-bodied as lots of mid-range items like Karen Scott, Style & Co., Cable and Gauge, Alfred Dunner, Alfani, Charter Club, Levis, etc. — and all accept the aboriginal tags absorbed so you can see your savings.
The appraisement is appropriate up my alley. I saw a $129 Jones NY anorak (with some admonition Macy's stickers on the tag) that Camille's was affairs for $7.50. (Of advance it was not in my size, but still!)

Another additional for the abundance is that it carries a lot of additional sizes. As one Facebook fan's post said, "So animated to assuredly acquisition a abundance with beautiful additional admeasurement clothes that are ambrosial and affordable."
The audience is all ages, but Camille Arkenberg says it is mostly ladies 30 and older. In accession to the clothing, she has adornment (priced as low as 49 cents and $1.49) and she is acquisitive to add handbags if she can get them at the appropriate price.
"Most aggregate is about 65 percent off or more," she said. "My boilerplate admission aftermost anniversary was $9.10!"
Th Arkenbergs are still operating their active international eBay abundance (camillesdeal.com), which about has 1,500 to 2,000 ladies accouterment and accent items (and a few men's items) listed.
But they say they adore the claimed acquaintance with barter that the Murfreesboro abundance offers. "We adulation seeing bodies appear in and get such nice things for a abundant price. We like to see them leave happy," she said.
To me, that is what arcade should be all about.
