Explanation:

The original sentences mention finding fashionable clothes, including designer - labels, at consignment shops with costs being one - half to one - third of new clothes. Option D combines these key elements without changing the original meaning. Option A is too general as it only mentions discount prices. Option B introduces a new and unmentioned concern about clothes being worn out and dirty. Option C is an over - generalization with the word "everyone" and is more of a recommendation rather than a combination of the given sentences.

Answer:

D. Consignment shops are great places to find fashionable designer clothes at one half to one third of new prices.
