The Art of Thrifting:
So here I am jobless with a love for all things shopping...
what's a girl to do? My solution was to go thrifting. There are some consignment stores but most of those sell big name brand like Gucci and Prada which I have no interest in or budget for.
So I decided to go the Salvation Army/Goodwill route.
My Finds:
- Club Monaco blue pin stripe blazer- perfect condition $5
- H&M light yellow ruffled sleeveless button down $5
- The Limited brown dress slacks $5
The Downfall:
Get ready to go through tons of racks, roll up your sleeves and dig and allow a bit of time
The Best Procedure:
As you file through the racks pick up anything that may be a find in your size or a size or two larger (people often give things away when they have shrunk). Then when you get to the dressing room try everything on, you may surprise yourself with what looks good on you. Plus, if you pick up any "possible" finds no one else can get to them you have claimed them for yourself...well until you realize up close or after trying them on they are a good find or a no-go.
The Pay Off:
Spending so much less for the same satisfaction as spending more and still looking stylish.
Good luck and happy thrifting :)
