Thrift Stores
I have been very happy with the American Cancer Society Discovery Shops, as they only sell top quality. They are a little more money than the usual thrift stores, but they sell top brand suits and dressy office clothes, shoes, and bags. They will not accept damaged clothes, so it is all in good shape. I do well at Goodwill, but you have to keep going back and digging.
I have also done really well on ebay with good suits. I just bought at Talbots wool blazer for $9, including shipping. It is near new and gorgeous. Right now there is also a lady selling off her excess stuff at the Santee Swapmeet on Sundays, she has a ton of stuff, suits, etc, in sizes 2-14. 80% of her stuff still has the store tags on it. I got some incredible items from her, and she apparently still has more. You can't miss her, she has 4 huge racks of clothing.
There is a place in the sports arena area near the old main post office that has good resale clothes in large sizes, and there is a great resale shop in the Rancho San Diego Dixieline Shopping Center, really good quality.
It sure is fun to shop when you can buy it at the thrift stores. I am also grateful that my 3 boys love the thrift store and swap meets too!
Happy Shopping!!
