A Plato's Paradise
To
most people, thrift stores have become known as the place to find the
cheapest clothes.
The stores themselves are depicted as being unsanitary and disorganized.
In
addition, the people that choose to shop at thrift stores are often
stereotyped as being stingy and tacky. However, while most thrift stores
are not the
equivalent to a five-star hotel, they are still relatively clean,
functional
places of business. While there are several different chains of thrift
stores
in existence, the one that wins the award for having the most stylish
and contemporary
items would be Plato’s Closet.
This
high-end thrift store channels its business towards high school and college
students. This is primarily because they understand how important it is for these
individuals, particularly college students, to save money while keeping up with
the latest trends. Plato’s Closet is unique from other thrift stores because
they will actually buy clothes from their customers. This is their strategy in
maintaining their stylish selection of attire and accessories. All you have to
do is bring in currently trendy attire and you’ll receive cash on the spot! Here
is a quick and easy article regarding the rundown of how to sell your clothes

Aside from the distinctive factor
of receiving money for selling your brand name clothing and accessories, Plato’s
Closet has one of the most laid back environments I’ve ever shopped in. The
picture to the right demonstrates the relaxed and inviting atmosphere that Plato’s
Closet has to offer. The options are endless at Plato’s with so many attractive
items to pick and choose from. One of my greatest purchases from Plato’s was a form-fitting
leather jacket that I bought for a bargain of only 10 dollars! There are items that
could fit almost any type of style whether you’re shooting for goth, preppy, chic, sporty, vintage, hipster, etc. I would definitely recommend that you take some time,
save some bucks and check out Plato’s Closet!
Thanks for making a blog about thrifting, Amy! Being a broke college student, I should be taking advantage of places like plato's closet. Come to think of it I never even utilize coupons or anything for anywhere. It would be beneficial to read some of your posts, and I look forward to whats in store here. Cheers!

You should definitely try to factor more thrift stores and coupons into your lifestyle. It's a really great way to save and still look awesome!
DeleteI love Plato's Closet! It's a great store and there's some really great deals there. To be honest, there are some designer clothes I found there that I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I went in there I couldn't believe the kind of clothes, accessories and shoes I found. I thought I was in a department store rather than a second-hand/pawn shop.
DeleteThere's an old episode from the "Simpsons" when Marge finds herself a designer dress at the thrift store. She immediately becomes one of high society's members (of course). The show progresses as she and her sewing machine turn the dress into many different variations as she tries to keep her new place in society.
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends worked at Plato's closet, and her outfits were always on point! Gotta love that employee discount!
ReplyDeleteI would love to work at Plato's Closet and get that employee discount. I visit there quite often!
