Never underestimate a thrift store, you'll never believe what you'll find. Some people are just plain snobs when it comes to a thrift store. Used clothes ?! *gasp* But guess what , all of my clothes that I get the most compliments on are from *gasp*, a thrift store. And I am not the only one who goes thrifting, celebrities do it to. Such as Miguel, Elle Varner, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rachel Zoe ( celebrity stylist ). It's like panning for gold, you get a lot of junk but sometimes you find something great. You have to be patient and really love to shop, because going to a thrift store requires a lot of digging. Thrift stores are a place for fashion forward people and vintage lovers, because you can find some really timeless pieces. I'll never reveal where my thrift store is, find another gold mine for yourselves haha.
If you plan to go to the thrift store here's some tips :
- Don't get overwhelmed, have a idea of what you're looking for.
- Give the clothes a chance, if it seems crazy and different just buy it ! It's only three or four dollars but it could become a key item in your wardrobe.
- Look at everything, never leave a rock unturned, cause you might miss something that could be great.
- If something is damaged, like a missing button or a little tear, you can fix it !
- Wash everything you buy before wearing it
- Don't buy underwear, bras, lingerie, socks, bathing suits, sheets, and towels.
Here's some of my favorite thrift store items ! Good luck and happy thrifting ! - xoxo JT
