I was sitting at my daughter's ballet class one afternoon when I overhead another mom talking about a great store downtown. Being the nosey gal that I am, I had to ask what store she was talking about. Where did she get almost new ballet shoes and leotards for half the price?
The chatty mom said she had just been to the Funky Frog, a children's resale clothing store. I was not down with it. Resale clothing for my kids, why, I never! I decided to stop being such a snob and check it out.
Not only is this store full of excellent quality kids clothes, it also has toys (can you say new Melissa and Doug toys that are way cheaper than anywhere else in town!), baby bouncers, books, shoes and crib bedding. Renee, the owner, is really on top of only accepting consignment items that are in excellent condition.
As for the clothing, The Funky Frog does not disappoint. We are talking Burberry, Mini Boden, Hanna Andersson, Ralph Lauren, Gap and Gymboree, to name a few. Really, does my son need DKNY jeans? You bet your sweet ass he does. Trust me, once you get in on this, you will never turn your nose up at resale again. Some people call it being a cheapskate. I call it being a smart frugalista!
The Funky Frog is located at 121 East 3rd street in downtown Rochester.

I LOVE the Funky Frog! I have both sold and purchased through Renee and it's always been a great experience. Now she has adorable handmade outfits by Ruby Loop in store just another reason to stop in. :)
