Shopaholic-ing wisely in Socal
Three stores to shop from that offer great deals
If you like shopping and want to save money around Orange County, here are three stores worth checking out that can provide the needs of budget conscious fashionistas. The first is Plato’s Closet, 3814 S. Bristol St, Santa Ana, California. What’s your price range? This is a trendy turn-around store meaning that when bringing in gently used items, the items can be bought or traded for something considered fashionable.
Usually, items are in good condition and have been in the store no more than a year and half. Make money, save money and trade for something relatively trendy. ” The environment is really cool and you always find deals on a bunch of great clothes,” Jose Santos,18, Human Services said.
The second find is American Apparel Warehouse LA, 747 Warehouse St, (2nd Floor), Los Angeles, California. Why shop here? Clothing is American- made and there is a 40% savings on average by shopping this warehouse. It is an entire floor of clothing, and one of the biggest stores available offered at discount prices. Some items have defects but most clothes come from an overstocked inventory. It is worth visiting. ” The flea market is something they have only in LA and NYC, and attracts those that would find clothing normally out of their price range so they come here and get what they want,” Sadie Popard, 21, Visual Communications, FIDM said.
The third site is Holly Sharp located at 3636 E. Coast Highway, Corona Del Mar, California. Why wait for a good find? Amazing sales happen three or four times each year and the next big sale is just before the holidays. Lucy Love (a line that is Holly’s personal brand) usually retails from $75 – $150 and during sale time, prices run from $15-$30 on many select items. “It’s a great quality at a more decent price and sun dresses are the big seller,” Allie Pruitt, key holder said.
