I'd take her old clothes into a resale shop, and see if you could do some bartering for new clothes. I don't know of any place you can go get the clothes and pay later. But I'd look at using her old clothes to get her new clothes!
There are alot of second or consignment shops that will probably do an exchange with clothes! It's either that or they give you money and you can go and buy new clothes. You'd just get more if you bought from a second hand store!

I know what you mean about money being tight... I had the same problem with my son this school year. They just grow so fast!
Anyway, I went to Goodwill and I found some awesome NAME BRAND (which seems really important to teenagers nowadays) that were super cheap. I even found myself some designer jeans for like $4 a pair. I know it's kinda depressing to have to shop at stores like that, but when you're raising kids of a tight budget ya do what you have to do.
Good luck and God bless.

I know that this might sound crazy, but shopping at Thrift Stores, (second-hand) has been one of the best experiences, for me. They have extremely low priced brand name clothing, mixed in with the rest of the clothes. I shop there sometimes, to find tall-size clothing, capri's, etc. You never know what you'll find. Sometimes the shirts, shorts, etc, are 50-89 cents. They have 1/2 price sales every day. All you need to do is wash the clothes, with Tide & Downy, and you're good to go.
Check it out!...........

There are some very nice used clothing stores around. They are very picky so the quality is good. She could earn extra money by baby-sitting, dog walking, being a mother's helper, or setting up and cleaning up after parties.
You can also put clothes on layaway at many stores.

Try to shop stores like Target, Wal-Mart, Mervyns, Kohls.
They have great deals.
Try to avoid in store credit cards because they are 20% + APR.
Apply for a personal loan at a credit union, about 12%.
If you own a home, you can use equity in your home for new clothes and furnishings. Interest on equity lines is 100% deductible.
Good luck to you.

Look for thrift-stores in your neighborhood... or salvation army outposts.
A lot of the time you can get very new looking clothes for cheap (or free) from them.
Thrift stores are actually really fun. They're cheap and you never know what you're going to find. You can find some really awesome stuff.

If you have an ebay account sometimes they have that option! If not go to consignment stores...sometimes you can trade old clothes for new ones! Just depends on how they work! And remember to tell her that not all clothes in those stores are used...some are brand new and people just don't want them!

Garage sales, thrift and resale stores are your best bet. You can buy nice things for pennies on the dollar. But if you are truly destitute, contact a local church or the Salvation Army. They may help you or know how you can get help.

Get friends with older kids to give hand-me-downs. Thrift stores can get really cheap. I would not go into debt to buy clothes for a teen-ager. See if she can earn the money herself...
