That's why no matter what store I go in, I always make sure I check the clearance rack. Hey, one store's trash can be a fashionista's treasure! Of course a lot of stuff that goes on clearance is MEANT to be on clearance (it's very ugly or looks very cheap!), but I've found in a lot of cases that it's because the items are just out of season (in the eyes of the retailer).
***Get the Most Out of Clearance!***
1) Keep in mind that many items will transcend into more than one season. In other words, the item might be in style longer.
2) Bomber jacket on the rack in July?? Put it away in the back of your closet until the winter. (Make sure it'll be in style then!)
3)One of the most important things to look for on the clearance rack: Quality. Don't go for things that look dingy, worn, damaged (unless you can sew!), or not made with quality materials (i.e. Shirts costs $3...does it LOOK like it cost $3??!)
This post was inspired by some recent Wet Seal purchases off the "Buy One, Get One For A Penny" racks. I must admit...I usually sleep on those racks, but i just got 4 items that are gonna send me to college in style. All without breaking the bank! =)
Black and purple colorblock dressBuy One: $9.99
A long-sleeve grey cardigan
Get One: 1 cent
White and blue striped shirt with a blinged-out bow
Buy One: $13.99
A light pink loose-fit tee with a sheer lace bow on the front
Get One: 1 cent
(Btw: I went to the mall like 2 weeks ago and wanted this shirt, came back today...it was on clearance!)
