N.E. 122nd Ave. Portland is situated in a unique place between Seattle and Southern California.
Fashion trends seem to trace their way from one end of the western seaboard to the other.
Portland's geography puts it in the middle of this fashion mayhem. College students usually try to keep track of the trends but sometimes find this difficult when they don't have a trust fund and have to manage on a college budget. One answer for college students is to visit second-hand or thrift stores. Portland offers a variety of stores including thrift, consignment and vintage clothing stores. The Goodwill Goodwill Industries has a number of thrift clothing stores in Portland.
