The second law of thermodynamics and the first law of Nelly lyrics hold that ambient heat and clothing have an inverse relationship. Disturb the natural order with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of men's and women's clothing, accessories, and collectibles at Dechoes Resale Emporium in College Park and Coytown.

Stocked to the brim with hundreds of one-of-a-kind items, Dechoes helps outfit customers with a bevy of impeccably maintained vintage and designer clothing, as well as accessories, collectibles, and flux capacitors. Visitors can peruse selections from a wide array of designers and brands such as BCBG, H&M, Gucci, Anthropologie, Banana Republic, and Prada while saving a substantial amount off retail prices without having to barter gasoline with prowling motorcycle gangs. Jewelry, fine china, clothing, and toys dating all the way back to the 1900s are available to add a stylishly vintage touch to any wardrobe or domicile, and designer purses and sunglasses ensure fashionableness in the present, future, and frozen-in-time DMV lines. Check out the website to get a sense of what's offered in-store, such as a pair of Bottega Veneta pumps ($49.99) or a Gucci tan purse ($59.99). Additionally, customers can schedule an appointment to trade in their clothing and receive 50% of the store’s asking price in store credit or 35% of the asking price in cash (60% in store credit or 40% in cash for items more than $100), though trading in the shirt off your back is valid only for a hearty chuckle.

Acquiring fetching vintage garb or accessorizing a new wardrobe doesn’t have to entail raiding Egyptian tombs or donning Civil War–reenactment uniforms seven days a week. Dechoes boasts a rich stock of apparel that can take you from the yacht to the charity ball and back to your desk job or the pharmacy to pick up more Charity's Ball-Brand Yacht Polish (Now for Desks!).

This Groupon is valid for in-store only.
