Best High-End: Second Time Around
176 Newbury St. As a college student, Im not exactly overwhelmed by countless opportunities to purchase an Armani gown or a Chanel blazer. Realistically, I dont have that many chances to even look at fashion that high-end, unless I happen to be in STA. Even lightly used, that blazers still not quite in my price range -- while I recognize that $600 is a phenomenal price for Chanel, its also a pretty great price for, you know, rent -- but just a cursory glance around the store will reveal classy clothes at unbelievable markdowns ($129 for a mens Burberry trenchcoat, anyone?).
