Save on Name Brand Clothing | The Limited

I never was and never will be a thrift store girl. Some people do really well at second-hand shops and I commend them for it! But I would like to prove that you CAN shop at fancy-schmancy stores and not break your bank. Personally, I would rather spend a little more on quality clothing that will last me years than buying cheap clothing at a thrift shop that won't last me nearly as long. [Are you really saving in the long-run by shopping at thrift stores?]

First off, always go directly to sale/clearance racks in the back of any store. Ignore all the tempting, adorable, FULL priced items as you walk to the back. Then start digging! I'd like to share with you one of my shopping trips to The Limited.

If you are a college student or teacher, you may be eligible to receive a discount at select retail stores! I ALWAYS keep my college ID card on me and ask the cashier if they offer student discounts. Ann Taylor and J. Crew are stores that also take the student discount! Don't be afraid to ask!
