If rising tuitions have prevent
ed students from buying that
new school wardrobe, the next
wisest thing to do is invest in
some used clothes Students
don't have to shop at Saks Fifth
Avenue or Bloomingdales to
look like a million bucks, and
what used clothes may lack in
the crisp feel of new fabric, they
more than make up for in char
acter and price — especially in
price
There are chic or attractive
clothes in second-hand cloth
ing stores, all it takes to run
across a "find'' is some luck,
imagination, and perseverance
Eugene is unique for cities of
its size in that it offers a wide
variety of used clothing stores
from which to pick and choose
From frilly Victorian-era
bloomers to funky punk fash
ions of today, all tastes are ac
commodated in the used cloth
ing stores.
In addition to offering quality
clothing at affordable prices,
many used clothing stores also
take consignments, another
bonus that one can't get by
shopping at conventional cloth
ing stores.
Here is a sampling of some of
Eugene's second hand clothing
