Get the Thrift?

The Alter Eco Consignment Boutique Opens

We say green? You say style.
Here’s a combo that’ll make you smile.

What’s the greenest move in the book?
Not brand-new clothes but the girl-swap look.
A new consigner’s hitting the block,
With perfect jeans, top, bag, or frock.

Gently used and clean, of course,
From many a screened and stylish source,
The Alter Eco is where to go,
For hip, eclectic, vintage, and boho.

Allston’s home to owner Angelique,
Who’ll help you land something quite unique, 
Like polka-dot dresses from the 1970s,
And sleek things from Laundry sure to please.

Got clothes to sell?
Consign your threads and get paid super well.
(It’s free to put your stuff up for grabs — now that’s swell.)

The store’s cheap, friendly, cool, sublime.
Fancy going back to ecobasics?
It’s about time.

The Alter Eco, 244 Brighton Avenue, Allston (617-779-7355 or myspace.com/thealtereco).
