Look like you stepped off a runaway but leave the sticker shock behind!  The fall look for less is both a breeze and burden this year.  You can credit the mad dash to the city's consignment stores!

Consignment stores are already offering great prices on fall designer pieces.  Sisters Amy and Jenny King own Sweet Repeats Consignment Boutique.  Amy says business is booming. Their intake appointments are booked through the end of next week, "We'll squeeze people in sometimes if it's not a lot but we try to schedule about 3 people a day."

Tara Igbanol is a regular at Penny Pincher for the latest seasonal trends, "Consignment, I'm hooked.  It's the thrill of the hunt. You're like oh my gosh I can't believe I found this here."

Penny Pincher has been around for 38 years.  Sales associate Patti Long says there comes a time in the season when the store is jam packed, "We'll have a lot of items in the back waiting to come out then we'll have to stop and say tell everyone else from that point on we're not taking any more for the rest of the season."

Patti says they're booked up for weeks, "We're full and are booked right now through almost the end of October for more clothing to come in."

We can't forget the guys. Men who want to jump on high end discounts check out Revolve Upscale Men's Consignment.
