Now Buying Fall
The time has come, we are now buying for fall.
This means we are ready for light jackets and coats, medium and light-weight sweaters and knits, boots, denim, and leather!
We aren't ready for things like heavy wool coats, parkas, snow boots, furs, or inclement out wear and accessories.
No more swimwear, sandals, shorts that can't be layered with tights, whispy summer rompers and dresses, or overtly summery prints (Hawaiian this means you!)
We occasionally make exceptions for the exceptional but please note that off-season items are always priced lower, so hold on to that Moncler parka for another couple of months if you want top dollar for it.

Summer to Fall Transition
It may be pushing 90 today but fall is coming!
We haven't officially started buying for fall but we have begun our transition between seasons. What does this mean for our sellers?
We are no longer buying swimwear. We are slowing down on tank tops, super gauzy, sheer or lightweight dresses and skirts. Layering pieces and sundresses are still in. Basically if you can't imagine wanting to wear something by the time the leaves start changing we probably won't buy it.
As far as fall goes, we're slowly easing into lightweight jackets like denim and leather. Also lighter knits are a go. No wool yet, we'll be ready for that in a few more weeks.
Shoe-wise we are starting to look at boots and slowing down on sandals. Strappy shoes that can be paired with tights are still a go. We are currently pretty full on shoes so we are being fairly selective but as always we'll take a look at whatever you bring in and will let you know if we're passing on items because of season alone.
The transition is good news for shoppers too! Our 50% off rack is newly replenished with some adorable summery dresses and light jackets. Also inside the store a lot of items have been marked down 25% including all of our swimwear! Come in and get outfitted for the perfect Brooklyn Indian summer.

Spring/Summer transition
Hey y'all, we're now starting to buy for summer. What does this mean? No more wool, no more sweaters, no more jackets aside from classics in leather and denim. We're slowing down on pants and upping the shorts. Swimwear is a go as are sandals. We're not buying boots except for a few styles that can be worn year round (think combat boots, moto boots, lil ankle booties, etc.)
Dudes! We're always hungry for more menswear. Button-downs, tees, polos, you name it, we want it. We're even interested in lighter-weight flannels. Remember we're a buy-sell-trade so we can't sell you good stuff without buying it in first.
Bring on the sun (and bring on the pool!)

Holds
We are no longer able to hold items for customers. We are a tiny business with a very quick turnaround. There is only one of every item in the store. When we did allow holds 90% of the time the items were not picked up and were gazed at enviously by other shoppers, this cost us sales and made us feel like teases.
Fox & Fawn is first-come, first-serve and we're going to keep it that way. Our prices are very low so hopefully that will help make purchasing decisions pretty easy for everyone out there.
Regarding Facebook and Instagram, if you see a posted item that you want, give us a call at the shop. We can run your credit card over the phone. If you feel like you need to try it on before purchase all we can say is hustle!

SPRING! SALE!
Well, I guess winter was sort of bust, but no matter. It's in the mid-50s and Fox & Fawn is now officially buying for spring.
We also are having a major sale on winter items. All coats on our outdoor sale rack are 50% off as well as all cold-weather accessories in the accompanying sale bin. Inside the store there any item with a pink highlighted tag is 25% off.
The store is packed right now with everything from vintage buckskin jackets to African textile sandals to floral minis to designer duds (think Stella McCartney, Zac Posen, Rag & Bone, APC, and more.) I am so excited to throw off the woolens of this faux-winter and get ready for bare legs. Okay, maybe in another couple of months...
One more thing, you may have noticed that we aren't posting photos as frequently as we used to on this blog. If you want to see the most up-to-date items in stock please follow us on Facebook.

Late Winter/Early Spring Buying
It's been a while since we had an update. It's unseasonably warm and it feels like winter isn't even here yet, but spring is just around the corner (we hope!) While we're not quite ready to start the buying transition just yet, we have entered our late winter/early spring buying phase.
What does this mean?
Late winter means we're slowing down on heavier winter coats. Instead we're focusing on transitional pieces that can go from winter to spring. This means we probably buy your parka or heavy wool coat. Same goes for your winter accessories like hat and heavy scarves. We're still looking for things like sweaters, lighter wool jackets, layering pieces, basic boots, denim and leather jackets, and some lighter-weight sweater dresses.
Early spring means we're starting to buy lighter weight dresses even some sundresses. We're not quite ready for strappy sandals but we'll entertain an open-toe shoe here and there. It's not time for overtly summer items like swimwear or other beachwear like sunhats or cover-ups, but we will be starting to buy in things like cotton rompers and sleeveless tops. Basically if you can throw a cardigan and a denim jacket over it or tights under it there's a good chance we'll take it if the style and condition are right for us.
As always, we buy according to stock levels, style, season, and condition. This is meant to be a guide but isn't the end-all be-all of what we may be buying on any given day.
XO
