Buying Clothes


These are a few pieces from my own closet.  I have got each of these items for less than $20 at one of the stores in my post.

Whether you're like my roommate and go shopping once a week or like me and go once every few months, everyone buys new clothes in college.  The difference is my roommate would shop at Buckle and get one pair of jeans for $110... and I would shop at TJ Maxx and buy three shirts for $20.  Today I'm going to give you some tips on how you can get a great wardrobe for less.

Like I mentioned, TJ Maxx is a great store to get cheap clothing.  They have a wide selection of designer handbags, dresses, shoes, shirts, and accessories.  Some other good stores with cheap clothing include Target, Plato's Closet, and Gordmans.  Target has cute style and are good for getting clothes, shoes, and especially swimsuits.  I shop at Gordmans for their cheap name-brand perfumes, camisoles of any color, and apartment or dorm decorations.  Other stores to try are American Eagle, Vanity, and Rue 21.

The first place you should always shop in the sales rack.  You never know what goodies you're going to find on clearance.  Another tip is to sign up for emails from the stores you shop the most, or even ones you wouldn't shop at without a coupon.  This comes with a warning because sometimes these daily emails can make you want to buy things just because you can get a good price.

Bottom line: Buy clothes for cheaper at these stores or with coupons.

  1. Nice post! One way to make it stronger would be to make the names of the stores links to their respective websites. Also, it would be cool to see photos of what you bought at these stores to visually emphasize your point that you can get good deals on good quality products. For example, a comparison shot of your roommate's $110 jeans and a pair of jeans from TJ Maxx for much less.
