How to find Designer-Clothes-For-Less

I want to find designer clothing for less. You too?

I love designer clothing. I also like name brand clothing. It is not the only clothing I buy, but it is fun and worthwhile to try to find well-made clothing, because it lasts longer.

Much designer clothing is well-made, so I like it because of this, and because it includes many nice style choices and colors.

There are many places to start your search for affordable designer and name brand clothing that is fun and fashionable.

Some places to look are online sites, some are located in certain cities, and other places might be in your hometown.

Let me know what other places you have found that offer designer clothing for less, and I will add it here.

This neat photo is from Natalia Photos on Flickr.

Designer clothing is fun, original, and beautiful.

I like it!

You can find designer clothes for a lot less than retail.

I am on a budget, but I have found some terrific designer clothing online, and also at thrift stores, consignment shops, and even on Ebay.

Here are my NEWEST online store finds.

I will be adding more soon.

The first link features beautiful dresses at bargain prices. They look like designer clothes!

The second link is all about REAL fashion finds. You will find name brands here, as well as totally cool accessories and more. They have both new AND vintage/used stylish buys. A kind visitor sent me the link.

The last link (11-2011) is a new online store that looks SO fun. They have great deals on very fashionable clothes here. I can't wait to explore more.

The Kiyonna site: This site says it has plus-size clothing, but it also has clothing for anybody size 10 and above. I have featured here a lace dress that I like. Please explore this site and let me know what you think in the comments. AND suggest others for me too. I look forward to seeing your suggestions.
The Shopaholics Recycle Online Shop: Two very fashion-savvy friends run this site. The find their really cute clothing, purses, scarves, boots, shoes, dresses, and more from outlets they have learned about in the fashion trade. Neat!
Peppermint Park: This site has "high-end" bargains on all kinds of fashions, from boots to Skin and Beauty, plus (of course) all kinds of clothing too.

The Bluefly site also sells brand new items.

They have loads of sales and discounts, too.

I have not bought from this site, so if you like it, let me know and I will add it to this area. Thanks!

The Bluefly site: The Bluefly site calls itself "the ultimate hook-up for the fashion obsessed." It features not only clothing, but also handbags, men's clothing, and shoes.

Gently used or vintage designer clothes can be a big bargain too.

Some items for sale online can be new - - and never worn.

Someone is shopping for a vintage designer outfit at a consignment shop.

You can find these items at local consignment shops, and also at some online shops too.

They can be modern OR vintage. Both can be very much in fashion today.

Even movie stars wear vintage designer clothing nowadays.

Shopping online can be fun AND save you money.

You can shop at many different kinds of stores.

Often you can find deep discounts when somebody is selling their designer clothes. Stores also offer sales and more.

Here are some designer clothes on Ebay right now.

Always make sure to check each seller's reputation before bidding.
