In the name of fashion, I salute Santee Alley for providing a means by which fashionistas on a budget (such as myself) can afford to be creative and stuff their closets with a variety of styles and fabrics. If you're not chained to designer labels, this is a great place to find cheap clothes to take home and turn into something totally fabulous. It definitely gets crowded quick on weekends, so get there early and be prepared to throw those elbows a bit. I guarantee you won't be the only person trying to match a certain pair of earrings (that you conveniently left at home) with a certain type of shoe (that someone else is currently holding in their hand) to complement a particular dress (which you spotted in a store three blocks back). If you're a marathon shopper like me, you'll spend HOURS just enjoying the treasure hunt that is the essence of shopping.
Pros: Lots of gems to be found amongst the chaos and rubble
Cons: The afforementioned chaos and rubble
