The Wardrobe Mistress Shops the Mercado!

Mercado is Spanish for Market. The Mercado located in an urban American setting has many of the same qualities a tourist can find in a Mexican market in Mexico. Ours is a large store  divided up into smaller stores inside, similar to stalls, with just a hint of disorganization. There's a vitamin and health food area, women's clothing area, western store with western wear and cowboy gear, household items, toys, etc. similar to Family Dollar or Dollar Tree. The prices are excellent.

The Mercado offers an infinite supply of great fashion finds. Our favorites: wild leggings (3 for $10.00), crochet headbands ($2.99), short, short glitter skirts ($10.00), and the ultimate infinity scarves ($2.99). The possibilities are endless and new merchandise arrives regularly.

The leggings are wild, wild, west and the material is unbelievably comfortable and wears and washes well!

And for all our readers in the UK:

The short glittery-glitzy skirts worn with plain black leggings and casual top can take a women from the the ski slopes to apres-ski in five!

The infinity scarves are the perfect width and length. They can be worn in a million different ways and are perfect for traveling.

The Mercado also has a myriad of shape-wear for women but I haven't been brave enough to try on the skin tight, push-up, figure flattering attire.
