Meet me at Crossroads

While hunting for bargains recently in Studio City I came across Crossroads Trading Co., a store that buys and sells used clothing, mostly women's. Come armed with an appetite for looking because hidden in the racks is treasure.

A pair of navy Manolo Blahnik heels in size 6 were $25. Mind you, these were well worn in, but still looking classic and sharp. A black and white baby doll summer dress by Krafty was $11. I was on the verge of buying a pair of Seven for all Mankind jeans for $22.50 – even now I'm having a hard time describing why I didn't buy them. In the end I decided my butt was more shapely that this pair of jeans would lead the viewer to believe. Call me a dreamer...

There were also a ton of casual tops, many below $15. Some purses, hats, dresses, and men's clothes. A few racks of new clothes from Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 were at the front of the store. Crossroads accepts returns within seven days with the tags attached and a receipt.
