By Patricia Peterson


In the current world with the tough economic times prevailing, most people prefer to get quality secondhand items to save on costs. You can get very quality stuff from the secondhand stores that can serve you for a long time. Below are a few highlights on how you can go about shopping for Portland consignment clothing.

You should not go blindly to the store as you will find that the good stuff has already been chosen and bought. Place a call to the store before your visit to enquire about the day a new incoming stock will be available. This is the right time to go to the store. If you go at such a time you are sure of getting quality and novice pieces.

You should write down a list of the items that you will be looking for and go with it to the store. However, there are times when you will come across very interesting and good items in the store that you had planned for, so you have to keep an open mind and purchase such commodities.

On arrival to the clothing store, make rounds through the entire place and get all the things that catch your eyes, including the ones that you are not very sure about. You should not be slow in this process since there are other many people who are also on the lookout for good items. After accumulating some good stuff of your liking, sit down and choose the best from the group.

Do not put on very complicated clothing when visiting this store since they will hinder you to fit in your new purchases. You should be able to freely and easily fit in all the clothes that interest you fast. Do not, therefore, wear clothes like buttoned up tops or shirts or lace shoes.

Do not use the designer labels to get an item since they are at times fake. Purchase an item since you sincerely like it not because of a fancy label on it. There are many crafty people who might just add a label to increase the value of an item. It is up to you to take your time and look at the finishing and details for you to know ether it is a real thing or not. If you are not certain about the authenticity of an item, follow your instincts.

Get those pieces that have classic shapes and clean lines if you do not want to look old fashioned. Even when looking for vintage clothing, you should not get the clothes that make you appear like you have walked out of a different era. Get a more streamlined piece that has a modern feel to it so that it will also be easy to blend in your other wardrobe. Also, make sure still you do not get any garment with a stain. This is because the chances are high that it will never get out.

In case you intend to get a discount in the store, be nice to everyone that you meet in this store, more so those who work in that store. If you stick to the above-mentioned tips in the secondhand store, you will be assured of an easy time as well as get whatever you wanted to get and much more.
