Best Places in Boston to find a BAH-gain
1) Discount clothing chains abound in Downtown Crossing, where you can browse Filene’s Basement (which is practically a Boston institution), Payless Shoesource, H & M, Marshall’s and DSW Shoe Warehouse without straying more than three blocks.
2) Similar in scope to Filene’s Basement but with a funkier edge is The Garment District, located in Cambridge’s Central Square. In this amusement park for vintage shoppers, you can find all your Halloween essentials (fish nets, gorilla costumes and wigs, oh my!) year round.
3) If your taste in clothes tends to be a bit more upmarket, then check out Second Time Around, which has two locations on Newbury Street and one in Harvard Square and Newton. These cozy consignment shops are like pawing through the closet of an older, more fashionable sister, except this time you don’t have to give back her favorite sweater!
4) And if you’re looking for some jewelry to go with that hot new outfit, try So Good Jewelry on Newbury Street and near Downtown Crossing. With rhinestones and sequins covering nearly every surface, this place is a jewelry junkies’ dream come true! Most pieces cost $5-20, so you’ll still have money left over for a cute new pair of shoes.
