My aunt was in town, and I suggestes that her and my mom check out this store, as she wanted to do some vintage and thrift shopping. I hadn't been, but looked like it would be a good place based on the description and reviews. My aunt loved it, and boasted about her amazing finds! Great pieces and and prices. A few weeks later for Mother's Day, my mom gifted me the cutest bag that she had picked up on that visit with her sister. And she talked about Trish like she was a friend. I had the rest of the day to myself, so decided to go check it out for myself. And oh my goodness, was I thrilled that I did! I found two jackets (one vintage, and the other the cutest designer puffer), a handful of tops (casual and sporty), a romper, earrings and more! The service was outstanding. She was kind, fun, and not pushy at all. I could see why my mom spoke of her so highly. We talked trends and had a few laughs while I shopped and tried things on. Looks Better On Me is the hidden gem I didn't know I was looking for! I'll be back for sure and am telling my vintage and thrift loving friends to get in there... there's something for everyone, you just have to look! read more

I had a wonderful experience shopping here!! The store is beautifully organized and filled with high-quality, stylish pieces, including some great designer finds. Great prices! You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into the stores upkeep. The owner was welcoming and helpful-not overbearing or pushy. While shopping, a local that was shopping, mentioned she stops in at least once a week, I visit SD every year and def adding this shop to top of my list. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Trish the owner was pleasant was such a help to me. Her store was very neat and orderly. I took some clothes in and had to shop around for myself. Left over clothes etc. are given to women's shelter.....which just warmed my heart. I've been to another shop in La Mesa and was so disappointed. Decided not to do business with them!

Omg, I am a person who likes to shop and make decisions without the help of salespeople... this is the first time ever the woman running the store made me feel this way about that. She is amazing. So kind and warm, zero pressure, she makes you feel like this is already your closet. She will also let you wander by yourself too. I was looking for a dress for my birthday, and just by seeing what I was choosing, she went around the store and brought me 5 more choices that I loved! Like a personal shopper/stylist. She delights in seeing them on and she gets to know each piece intimately!! I ultimately chose one for $30, and it's just so cheap to pay for an experience like that. I loved every minute in that store. read more

The woman working was so sweet and helpful! I wish I caught her name.. but I needed a dress for a party and she helped me find the perfect one! (Very reasonable prices too) She even did the little hooks for me when I was trying it on. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Just visiting town and stopped here. Loved the designer rack - found a nice Eileen Fisher tank. Also bought an adorable top. Lots of selection in clothes, bags, shoes. Even good selection of plus-size clothing. The owner is sweet and friendly. Definitely worth a visit! read more

That place is a hidden gem. I'm crazy picky, but I never leave without at least four finds.

The best part of this place was the name. Very specialized inventory. Not at all what I was expecting.

I found great jewelry at this store and Trish (owner I believe) was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Will definitely be back!! read more

Looks Better On Me - Vintage and modern nice quality costume jewelry - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Diego, California

Cute little consignment store. Located in the same plaza as DZ Akins, the parking lot gets busy but people are constantly coming in and out so it won't take long to find a spot. They had a great Labor Day Sale going on this weekend. They had some racks outside their store with $2 items. The two ladies who worked there were very nice and friendly and great about informing customers of the daily promotion. They have several high-end items in glass cases. The had some great deals going on depending on the color of the price tags. I like how they had a good amount of inventory but not overwhelming. It makes it easier to comb through all the racks. read more

A couple days ago, a friend recommended Looks Better On Me and I filed it away in my brain. Well, yesterday I was meeting someone @ Terra restaurant nearby, and had some extra time beforehand, so I decided to stop and check it out ... I was very pleasantly surprised. Great quality and reasonable prices. I'm not fond of shopping for used clothing. I don't mind acquiring used clothing, but *shopping* for it is usually a chore. But this was a different experience. The store has a boutique feel - everything was clean and well organized, and not cluttery at all. Lots of windows makes the interior bright and cheery. The owner Trish was super friendly and not pushy at all. Another customer had a few blouses she was contemplating buying, and she was asking Trish's advice ... Trish said about a couple items "I'd have to see them on you first". I bought a pair of Levi 517's in near perfect condition for $8! And as a bonus the length is perfect so I don't have to have them hemmed. Buying them slightly used is better than new since I *know* they fit and don't have to worry about shrinkage. Highly recommend Looks Better on Me. I'll definitely be back. Cute name BTW! :) read more

She was very warm and caring and I hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much! read more

I started consigning with this awesome place before CO VID hit. The owner Trish and her Mom have always been super nice to me, and that goes a long way. I've bought some cute dresses for work there. She has a good variety of styles. She is very honest, and does a great job with her store. These are difficult times for small businesses, and I wish Trish the best of luck. She's not consigning right now, and open limited hours. I hope everyone will be supportive of this great store. read more

Small place, big selection. I had some time to spare after a doctor's appointment and found myself here looking through the racks. I am so glad it happened! I will definitely return. The owner and other employee working were very friendly and helpful. I can see this being a place you could find treasures! But you'll have to come back on the regular! They get new stock every week. read more

Awesome customer service. Came across this adorable shop on Instagram and just fell in love. Im so excited to have a new favorite store!!! The owner is so sweet and showed me all the deals. read more

Found LBOM on accident on my way to a dr apt. The place is packed with tons of clothes and even had a few racks outside. The vibe of this place is definitely older, but they did still have a few fun younger pieces and even a few vintage pieces. Even though they weren't buying they looked at the pieces I brought in and when I picked out a few pieces took a few in exchange for credit. The lady was super friendly and even though for a demographic under 30 the pickings are slimmer I would go again! read more

We had such a great experience here! Just moved in down the street and this was our first stop. Trish was so friendly and helpful and had great items that were carefully picked and placed. We spent a lot of time in here and walked out with great picks for very cheap prices!! Definitely check it out, you won't be disappointed read more

I went in looking for a dress for a wedding and was very politely greeted upon entering! I told them why I was there, how I don't like shopping or even know what exactly I was looking for. A younger girl, who was in training, helped lead me to the section where she thought I'd be able to find something. She did in fact help me with several different choices, styles, colors, etc. At this time the owner handed me some selections too, said just take your time, try things on and we'll give you our honest opinion...I told them what my self conscious concerns were. They were respectful, honest and so extremely helpful! They helped find accessories for a couple outfits so I could get a better idea of how it could look. I ended up buying 3 dresses, 2 sweaters and a pair of shoes! Brand named outfits, great condition and very reasonably priced! They asked if I was military or a student for additional discounts. I highly recommend this place for the quality of clothes and accessories, the selection, price and most importantly, the quality of service! Parking is a bit tough as it's in a small complex with a well known restaurant but don't let that deter you from stopping in! Definitely worth the 20 minute drive for me! read more

Looks Better On Me is a cute ladies' clothing consignments store. They have a little bit of everything: casual, business, shoes, handbags, jewelry. And the prices are super reasonable! Trish and Diana are very welcoming and can explain the history of many of the pieces in the shop, as they keep it well-organized and tidy. You may not find something to take home every time you go there, but you will see new things and have a good time looking around and chatting with the owners. Go often, as the inventory is constantly changing! Looks Better On Me is conveniently located in the same shopping center as D.Z. Akins, so why not have a nosh there and then go shopping at Looks Better On Me for dessert? read more

I am so glad I came across this neat little boutique! There is a range of sizes and all of it is well organized. I also liked that the woman who helped me had a good eye and selected options that were suitable for my style/curves! LBOM is not as edgy as some other resale shops but you can tell that the buyer does her research! read more

I'm always greeted warmly, even though I never bought anything. Until last week, that is! I found two summer tops and a summer suit, plus a semi-formal dress, all for less than $50! Trish's selection of consignment items is nice for this 50-year old with moderate taste in clothing. No hoochie-mama club-wear here. She has some lovely formal and dresses if you need something special for a military ball, prom, or summer wedding. Her shoe selection is great too; it's a pity that I never have any occasion to wear heels or I'd have bought several pairs. Check her Facebook page for updates on weekly specials, sales, etc. And then go to DZ Akins for a yummy lunch! read more

such a great selection of fun and different clothes! Employee was so sweet and so helpful. Will 100% be going back. Go here and shop local!!

I came in after finishing some errands for work and ended up talking with Diana for a while! She is a very nice woman who makes you feel welcome :) I also loved that they do what they can to support the local small businesses around! I am a Mary Kay consultant and she told me to leave my card in the card display outside the door. Me being the dope that I am, put them in the top row where she had a nice sign letting people know what the display was for None the less, I will absolutely be back to this shop soon! read more

Nice people, nice clean store. Lots of brand name items for sale that look to be in excellent condition. I will come back!

I LOVED the sale today. It was amazing! I really liked how helpful Diane and Trish were. The shop is neat and well organized.

A Pleasant Surprise! A friend and I went shopping here today and found all kinds of cute and fun jewelry items and a few pieces of clothing. Many designer items here such as Michael Kors, Juicy Couture, Stella & Dot, Brighton, and more at reasonable prices. The store is a cute, quaint boutique and the owner, Trish is super friendly and helpful. Great place to shop! read more

My all time favorite boutique! This is one of San Diego's little gem. Everything I buy from here is worth the price! They have a great selection of plus sizes and it's so nice to go and shop and have lunch with friends. I highly recommend anyone to shop here! read more

The worst place to go- I had a pile of clothes to resale and the lady tells me that she can't even look at them because she has two racks of clothes to still go through while she is sitting on her butt chatting with her friend - tells me to call back in two weeks! Probably going to be way longer at the rate she is going - waste of time if you are looking to unload some clothes - go somewhere else read more

Love this place!! Always has lots of clothes and accessories to choose from. Prices are great and the owner Trish is so friendly and helpful. Defiantly a place to check out! read more

Obviously I am new at posting things on Yelp as I accidentally posted my review under tips... Oh well. Here goes. I was happy to find this little gem of a store during a business trip to San Diego. The owner happened to be working that day. She is super friendly and helped me find exactly what I needed to wear out to a formal dinner that evening. If I lived in San Diego I would definitely shop here often as she has a fantastic selection and it is very well organized! read more

I love this place!! My husband is originally from la Mesa and we now live in Oregon. We try to visit at least once a year. About five years ago we were on a visit to DZ Akins (my husbands favorite Jewish deli) and we noticed "looks better on me" across the parking lot. We decided to check it out. I am so glad we did! This place is a treasure trove of high end gently used designer clothing. I found a beautiful white leather Harley Davidson jacket that would easily sell for $500 or more for a very low price!! Every time I wear it gets compliments. I also found several other pieces by steve madden, jimmy choo, guess, dooney & burk and many other brands of clothing, hand bags and shoes Needless to say everytime we come back to San Diego this is a required stop for me as is DZ Akins for my husband. They always have an excellent selection and the prices are unbelievable. The lovely lady who owns the shop is super helpful and very friendly and patient.we love her. If you're ever in San Diego. Do yourself a favor, you won't be sorry. read more

You want something new, but don't want sticker shock! Here's the place to look. Clean, organized, friendly. Good labels and deals.

I'm very happy with the 4 pairs of high-end jeans (Level 99, 7 for all Mankind) I found at Trish's shop. She knew my exact size just by looking at me and suggested several items. I walked out with some great deals, including a vintage pink purse, and will definitely be back soon. read more
