Day 56 of 365 Things To Do In Pasadena™ brings us fashion!

If you are looking for affordable and trendy brand-name clothes, you should check out Crossroads Trading in Old Pasadena.

Here’s the concept – Crossroads Trading Co provides three great opportunities to their customers:

to sell their gently used clothes or trade in the store
the knowledge that they kept their clothes out of landfills
a chance to buy great name brand and designer clothing at a greatly discounted price

So… if you are tired of your wardrobe and need an update, you can bring your clothes, shoes and accessories in for an evaluation. If your items meet Crossroads Trading Company’s criteria of being in-style, trendy, hip and in good condition, a sales price will be assigned to each item.

You then have a choice of either getting paid 35% of the assigned value or getting 50% of the assigned value in store credit.

What can you expect to find there?

Designer jeans that normally run $200 to $300 for as little as $27.50. When we were there, we saw True Religion, Seven Jeans, Citizens of Humanity, Juicy Couture and more.

Brand name dresses and tops, shoes, sunglasses and accessories – all at a fraction of the cost. And, men… have a section as well.

Is it worth checking out? You betcha…

Let me know what you think!
