Maybe you’re not a lady who’s into “used clothing”. Understandable. But see, you’ve probably never been to Common Threads, a delightfully upscale resale and consignment boutique located in central Boulder. If you’re a lover of flash sale sites like 6pm.com or Ruelala.com, you owe it to yourself to duck into
