| Bright colors are on full display for Spring at Apricot Lane |
Spring
is just around the corner and along with the groundhog, winter clothes are hopefully
going back into hibernation. Many stores
are putting out their spring and summer lines and are displaying all the new
clothing. Department Stores like Apricot
Lane Boutique, Loft, and New York and Company are in the process of putting out
all of the bright and fun new clothes for the upcoming season. Like many shops, they are currently having a
huge clearance section to sell all of last season’s clothing items. Even though spring clothing has yet to go on
sale, there are stores like Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, and H&M with
discounted pieces all year long.

You
can find current trends for the lowest prices at discount or multipurpose stores. If you shop at discount stores, you can get
designer products for a discounted price. New trends like crop tops and jackets, high-waisted
shorts and maxi skirts can
be found at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross.
Some multipurpose stores, like Target or Walmart, have staple items,
such as, v-neck tees and ribbed tank tops for $5.
Another
way to save money on spring clothes is going to thrift stores. Plato’s Closet, Uptown Cheapskates, and Goodwill
are great places to find deals, but still fashionable clothing. Thrift shops mainly have a negative
connotation among people. Many turn away from the idea of used clothing, but
they never think of the positives. Buying recycled clothing is a great way to
save money and get more bang for your buck. It also happens to be great for the
economy. Even though you may have to spend
a couple of hours searching around these stores, you will be happy with the
good quality clothes at extremely low prices.
Whether
you want to buy designer or inexpensive clothing, there are places everywhere
that can work with any budget. Everyone can buy new trends and seasonal pieces
when they know where to look. Spring
will be here soon, so it’s time to go shopping.
