Twice As Nice Family Fashion Exchange

I needed some rockin' 80s gear for a costume party and thought I could find some leg warmers here. Nope, this ain't your hoarder grandmammy's thrift store. There were some household items (e.g. sets of glasses and a shabby chic dining table). Clothes were neatly displayed and in some cases sorted by brands. I saw quite a few from Hollister, Forever 21 and Express. The fitting room attendant and cashier were both very helpful and sweet. If you bring in items to sell, you have the choice of: 30% of what they will price your item in cash or 50% of their price in store credit. I walked out with an Express dress (new with tags) for $17 and some righteous 80s footwear for $9. I'll be back again when I have the time to browse and find the good stuff.

OK, so I'll let U in on a not-so-secret of mine... I'm a major cheapskate! I'm not above buying someone else's cast offs and proudly donning my "new" treasures. That said... I don't like having to spend a lot to make what is recycled mine. Twice As Nice charges way too much for most of their clothing. Most of their stock is outdated and obviously used. I totally get the whole trade-in concept - it's obvious that to make this business model work, Twice As Nice prays on it's consumers' desperation for something new to them. If U go for the cash option, U are seriously losing out, as it's half as much as the stingy trade-in exchange rate. The buyers at Twice As Nice have a way of dissing U and Ur previously loved items, usually only selecting a few of what U thought was some really good stuff. Kids clothing really isn't worth anything to them, so don't expect to get any serious credit for those adorable name brand items U splurged on, but the baby grew too fast.T-As-N is kinda fun to pop in to, every now & again, to see what they got in, especially if U are a penny-pincher and have time to kill.

Went there today (10/17/13) in search of some cool weather wear. I was pleasantly surprised to find exactly what I needed. They had a good selection of children's clothing(including boys clothing) as well as shoes and adult clothes. Quality and price are good and the lady who helped was super friendly. They even had a table set up were the kids could sit down and play. I came away with 3 pairs of pants, a button up sweater, a puffy vest and a fall peacoat for $28.00. Very pleased with my shopping experience here.
