Century 21: Great clothes at really low prices Century 21 Review

This is the kind of place where you dig through a HUGE mass of clothing for the really great buys. I left there with a PILE of clothes and only spent $150. Granted, I didn't buy any Gaultier, Lauren, etc. On the other hand, I got some GREAT clothes, including a pair of terrific BCBG sunglasses for $20.

Soho Collection: Great leather buys

Not a trendy or stylish shop in itself, but has a pretty large collection of leather and suede clothes and shoes. Not everything is great, but you can find some great buys.

What to buy: I bought a beautiful black suede jacket in a bolero style for only $30. Okay, so maybe the lining will start coming apart in half a dozen wearings, we'll see. But for $30? It's a deal!
