Plato's Closet $1 Clearance

One of my favorite times of the year...

Plato's Closet $1 clearance event!
Plato's Closet $1 Clearance Sale
Do you see all of that clothing?? 19 items for $20.66 (high Illinois tax...)

I got 2 coats, 2 pairs of jeans, 10 sweaters, and 5 shirts. Some of the brands include Big Star, H&M, American Eagle, LOFT, J Crew, GAP, Forever 21 and others. I was most excited about the Big Star jeans. I didn't even look at the size and they fit perfectly! (My store does not let anyone try on items during this sale.) Those would have cost me at least $70 in a "real" store and were marked for $40 to sell at Plato's before they went on clearance. They are my favorite brand of jeans!

Check out your Plato's Closet and see if/when they do their clearance event. My store does it in the winter and the summer each year.

So excited to wear my new clothes!

If you've never gone to this event before, let me warn you, it gets a little crazy, because well, people are crazy! My recommendation: become one of those crazy people (just a little!) - grab first and think later. So if you see something that you think it cute, grab it. Later, when your arms are getting tired find a corner and go through what you have. That is when you get a chance to look at sizes, check for damages (like holes or broken zippers), and decide whether or not you really think what you grabbed is cute or not!

Have fun! I hope you'll be able to go to one too!

  3. I just went to the nearest one by me because of this post. And I was so disappointed- there were about 20 items left...and some looked like items that goodwill wouldn't even put out! What location in Illinois did you go to? I went to the one in Schaumburg.

    1. No way! That's so sad. I went to the one in OP and they had a TON of clearance. My sister-in-law went to the one in the Oakbrook Terrace and also found really cool stuff.

  12. OMG - such an awesome score! I can't believe you got all of that for $20! I've never been in Plato's Closet. Ours doesn't have amazing $1 sales. I think the best deal right now is BOGO clearance items.

    I am seriously impressed with your stash! I only shop clearance for my clothes, but haven't tried consignment shops like Plato's before. I will have to check it out sometime, definitely looks like you found a ton of cute stuff!
