you know, for the amount of time, gas $ + toll $ it'll take you to get down to Brooklyn from Yonkers, it just doesn't seem worth it. beacon's closet is like a hipster, glorified, more pricey version of the Salvation Army. seriously. head to your nearest Salvation Army and i promise you will find equally as interesting and funky stuff, and much cheaper. the only problem with the Salvation Army is that you have to dig, dig, dig. i'm not familiar with Yonkers, but if you want discounted clothes, have you headed over to Woodbury Commons? it's about 45 mins from NYC, i could only imagine it being even closer to you. that place is PHENOMENAL. i always find great deals there. if you are heading into the city, which is closer to you than brooklyn, and you still want discounted clothing, check out: Century 21, Fab208, Andees Cheapees (not cheap, but vintage clothing), Cheap Jacks (once again, not cheap, but vintage threads), Alice Underground, Filenes Basement. good luck. i hear ya about being a po' college kid.. we've all been there.
