For those of us who are fashion forward but budget-conscious - particularly in the current economic climate - today's consignment and resale stores offer a wonderful alternative to traditional department or retail stores. This is particularly true in the Boulder area, where several stores take an updated twist on the typical consignment/resale shop. Helped by the demographics and style of Boulderites, these hip, fashionable and shopper-friendly boutiques offer premium and designer brands, up-to-date styles and a huge selection - all at affordable prices.
The last series of Boulder Budget Fashion Examiner articles focused on favorites in the Boulder area. Visit these great stores for fabulous finds - and perhaps make some money by selling your own clothing, shoes and accessories!

Comments
Always a fan of the consignment store. You can find some jewelry tresures as well.
Your series was great! Thanks for linking to them all in one place.
Does anyone know of a consignment or resale shop that takes designer or better linens? Example: I have a Calvin Klein Duvet Cover and 100% Linen Bella Notte dust ruffle in perfect condition. Also, have some very nice curtains, etc. It would be nice to get a little something out of them.
Thanks for the comments, everyone - it is amazing the finds consignment stores have to offer!
April, if you are in the Boulder area, try Clutter Consignment (www.clutterconsign.com) or Feather Thy Nest (www.featherthynestboulder.com) - both are great home furnishing consignment stores located downtown.
