Fashion Fun: Thriftstore Finds



If you've perused my Youtube channel, you will have come across a few videos dedicated to my vanglorious (I made that word up) fashion finds that I found while shopping at Thrift Stores and Good Will.  I can't tell you how many quality, brand name things I find that are in good condition and at a fraction of the price!

I am now a seasoned vet when it comes to these places.  When I find something that I really like, I make sure to check the item for any tears, stains or fading.  I look mostly for brand name quality items so that I know they won't fall apart when I get them home to wash them.  I find all types of designer brands for insane prices.

Thrifting isn't for everyone.  Believe me, when I'm looking for a thrifting buddy, I hear things like; "I don't like wearing other people's clothes", "I hate looking for things in those places",  "it smells weird".  My response is to just give it a try!  After a couple of trips, and a couple of awesome finds, I can almost guarantee that any reservations you have about thrifting if not completely eliminated, they will at least be diminished.

For those of us that love thrifting, there's nothing like the rustic smell of used clothing, trinkets and accessories. You step inside the building and a feeling of euphoria washes over you.  It's not just because of the savings.  A real thrifter knows, it's the thrill of the hunt that entices you.  There's nothing like finding an extremely unique, vintage, or designer item of which you know you will pay less that anyone will every believe.  So exciting!  If that's not a good enough reason for you to give thrifting a try, hey, it's recycling and it's good for the environment :)

For those who are new to thrifting, I attached one of my thrifting vides below to give you and idea of some of the things you can find.
