yourself. I like my style to say, “I have self-respect. I have the confidence to be different.” The way I dress facilitates where I want to go with and in my life. I care about presenting myself to the world in a manner that says, “YOU are important enough for me to get dressed for YOU.” When did you become interested in fashion? Ever since I can remember I cared about what I was wearing. My first fashion memory was when I was about 5 years old. I loved the purple velvet dress and white Peter Pan collar blouse that was its underpinning. I wore it on the first day of first grade. I thought it was beautiful and that I looked pretty smart in it. I’d wear that same style today if I found it. What’s your “go-to” outfit? White blouse with black bow at the collar, wax skinny pants and a fitted velvet jacket … think Prince. What’s your most memorable piece and why? A Norma Kamali ruffle miniskirt and matching top that I found in Filene’s Basement when I was a freshman in high school. No one was wearing miniskirts at the time and I was petrified to wear it. The look was very radical and it felt like a big risk for this peanut-sized freshman to walk into a high school that respected athletic prowess more than fashion sense. When I walked in, the outfit got the attention of pretty much everyone, including the most popular girl in the school: the captain of the varsity cheerleading squad. The outfit got me noticed for the first time in a school of 5,000 students and I felt so confident and special in it. I learned then that what you wear can affect how the world around you treats you. For me, taking that risk was a game changer and gave me a moment I will never forget. How did you come up with the name To Be Continued…? My mother, who has helped me pursue my entrepreneurial dreams, came up with the name when we were in Paris together the summer before we opened the store. How many locations do you have? We have four: two in Scottsdale, one in Dallas and our latest in Los Angeles. Our horizon is bright, with the unveiling of an exciting collaboration with a Parisian designer that has been in the works for two years. We continue to do our best to push the boundaries of the traditional ways things have been done and create new ways for fashion lovers to buy and sell pre-loved designer treasures.

Having grown up in Massachusetts, it reminded me of my many summers on Cape Cod,” Sayare said. “Although these bags, called Nantucket lightship baskets, originated more than 150 years ago by the crewmen of lightship vessels as a way to pass the time, the baskets are still popular today with the well-heeled ladies of Nantucket. They are labor-intensive and woven using rattan or cane onto wooden molds and often have a carving on top. (Mine has a carving of a whale.) It’s just perfect and I feel like it’s a true piece of art. This special piece will continue on from the original owner, to me, and when I’m done enjoying it, to the next lucky buyer. To Be Continued…”
