Review from Laura P.

Its one of the better second hand/ consignment shops in downtown Halifax. Take the staircase up from The Clothes horse, and you'll find yourself in the cosy quarters of 'Put Me On'.
The owner (a NSCAD fashion student/ entrepreneur!) is simply delightful, offering helpful hints and info without the pressure to purchase. The clothing selection is playful and abundant, and also offers a section stuffed with new pieces by some very cool local designers. (Great one-of-a-kinds!)
Besides clothes, there are loads of interesting accessories, locally made soaps and special trinkets to explore. The space is tight, but at least men and women get their own rooms for browsing. (Phewf.) I found the price range to be moderate and even the locally designed pieces weren't crazily expensive. (Although you'll always tend to pay a little more for Locally Made) The owner has recently debuted some her own fantastic origami-type fabric necklaces. Swoon!
And just to put the icing on the cake, there is always an excellent music selection to accompany your shopping experience. (Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Thom Yorke B-sides, anyone?) A place to stop by often! -

I was rather put-off by Put Me On.
To be honest, I've browsed in there a few times before and bought something only once. If you have a small pair of feet like myself and can walk in heels, (unlike myself) it's a good place to check out. The owner was helpful, she showed me all the non-heeled shoes in 5-5.5 she had and I bought a pair of vintage shoes that I loved.
Unfortunately, I just barely made the short walk from my apartment to my class before the soles on both completely separated from the shoes. I guess the glue doesn't hold up for that long. I was hoping she would take a return or at least store credit, but my sob story about walking home in sock-feet in winter didn't move her. -

I always want Put Me On to be more captivating, but I never quite find that va-va-voom that I'm looking for.
I go to this upstairs shop a couple of times a month, but always as a second stop after Elsie's. I love the space and the location in the little row of vintage/used clothing shops is prime, but I've never made a purchase at this boutique because the clothing just never seems to jump out and grab me. There are some sweet little whozits and whatsits to poke around and inspect, as well as locally designed garb - which makes the trip worth it for me.
Andrew bought an amazing pair of brand new vintage boots here a few months ago. The price was good and the boots are still kicking and looking as fab as ever. The women working have always been cordial and ready to assist whenever I've visited and it seems like people are frequenting the store, which is good.
Perhaps my lucky day at Put Me On is on the horizon. I shall not give up or despair and will return again and again in hopes of scoring a delightful treasure. If nothing else, it's always fun to peruse and hope that some day you're number will be called. -

As you walk up the steps to the entrance of 'Put Me On,' you might wonder if you're inadvertently entering a soap shop. Not to worry though, it's just the Osha Mae soap products that are sold out of this little consignment shop.
Overall, I was impressed to see the vast array of funky second hand tops and dresses at this shop. Lots of neat little hand made cards as well as a ton of earrings as well. I particularly liked the repurposed leather earrings designed to look like leaves. -

This shop seems have have a little better selection of clothes, as long as you do not mind climbing the Harry Potter Stairs, just kidding, they are not that bad.
It is amazing that in a small area there is so much compacted in and these shops sit on top of each other, literally. The owner here is great and helpful. -

Put Me On!
I was told that this was a must when I am downtown, actually I never knew about this spot until reading Yelp and wanted to check it out. Walking into this location I though Vintage. Only a small location packed with jewelry to hats to purses as well as racks of cloths that line the walls all at great reasonable prices. Even a clearance rack with item from $5 to $10 and great things. Dresses and skirts, pants and suits are all available. Sizes do not range like they would at a normal store as there is only one size per piece as it is a consignment store.
This is a store that you have to spend time in and try things on. I would imagine that you would find some great things in Put Me On if you take the time to appreciate the items. -

Put Me On is small, but I like that about it. It is located on the "vintage block" on Queen Street, so it's easy to pop into while you're checking out the two or three others within a stone's throw. Architecturally, I am totally a fan of stores that are built in the upper levels of old houses. I know the Clothes Horse is in a house too (the same house in fact), but there's something about climbing a flight of stairs to get to a shop that I find increases the anticipation about what's inside. In the case of Put Me On, you'll find a tidy little selection of used clothing, mostly women's, and a good amount of accessories. The shopkeeper is quite nice, and you're likely to find something interesting. If not, try again soon, new stock is always moving in.
