Gorgeous inventory, with an enormous selection of different styles from vintage, to designer, and…read morecasual to eccentric b. And a shopping experience so good, it might just cure your closet trauma.
If I hadn't been told, I would've never guessed Uptown Cheapskate was a second-hand store. Their inventory looks better than half the boutiques and department stores I've been to. The amount of clothing is insane, the diversity in style is unmatched, and they actually have great men's fashion too -- not just a sad corner with three plaid shirts and a tie from 2009. And they have a size range from XXS to XXL and bigger, so nobody gets left behind. Everything from workout clothes to business casual, pajamas that keep you warm and pajamas that make you warm. ;) dresses that are long dresses that are short dresses that are sheer dresses that are modest. Skinny jeans, bell bottom, athletic pants, sweatpants,tights that sparkle, to baggy boho pants. With shorts, skirts and short skirts, there's always something to cover your legs. and for accessories
From top to bottom and everything in between they got it covered. Hats, socks , purses and sunglass but don't walk away without checking out the shoe selection. the shoes in the men's depart have better soles than most of the people I know.
I'm an outfit shopper, not a rack hopper. So I'm always looking for something very particular instead of just browsing and buying it cause I like it. I have to know it's going to be used and for what, so I buy whole outfits at a time or i am there looking for something to add to an outfit or finish one off. And everyone knows that when you need it to be exact, it won't exist . Most stores make that hunt miserable. But Uptown? Their presentation and organizing system are so next-level it's basically GPS for clothes. If a "medium, velvet, waist-length mustard button-up with white lace trim, and a soft rounded eyelet collar existed, I'm confident I could march straight to it.
To be honest , the price range is higher than the other second hand stores. it Can be a bummer to find a pair of pants that are three dollars cheaper across the street. but the the selection the inventory and not to mention amazing customer service makes every dime worth it.
If you're not fashion savvy, there are plenty of employees who are willing to help you put together a few awesome outfits. How rad is that!
I almost forgot about the huge changing Rooms in the back so that you keep your privacy, but still be able to try on that outfit and have enough space to dance around and do the drop test.
Buy and sell clothes here. It's better for your budget and the environment And when you soend money on your local stores rather than big box retail, you do your community a service and who doesn't like that!
