Bloomin’ Deals

New Orleans


This Junior League–run thrift store isn’t exactly Bloomingdale's, but some of the donations may have originated there. The women’s collection is extensive – lots of jeans – and you might just pick up a unique ball gown from Mardi Gras season that was only worn once. Lots of used books for sale, too (from 25¢).
