Thrift Haul - Blog Posts

yesterdays thrift haul✨✨

The 3 days I spent in NC was unexpectedly great. And I’m definitely going back to shop again

insane thrift haul the other day… going to make a utility belt outta the belt i found… (all of this(plus a ton more…) only cost about $40??)

thrifting tips that nobody asked for

go! through! every! rack! i mean it! flip through every piece of clothing one by one. 90% of the time people complain about not finding anything is because theyre just skimming the racks

went through every rack? great, now go do it again!!! its so easy to miss things, and ive found some of my favorite pieces by doing a second sweep. this especially applies to sections that youve found good pieces in

sizes are a construct!! i've found things that are xs and things that are xl and theyve both fit perfectly. look at all sizing sections and dont be afraid to try things on, the worst that can happen is that it doesnt fit. (remember- clothes are meant to fit you, not you fitting your clothes♡)

that being said, seriously, try! things! on! i know it sucks and ive always hated it but its worth it to avoid buying things that end up not fitting or not looking how you imagined

be careful buying things with the intent to alter them, even if its as simple as shortening/hemming. (will you really get around to doing it?)

go through everything youve grabbed At Least Once before you check out. i usually do twice. genuinely ask yourself if youre going to wear it, and make sure that youre not spending money on things that will sit around and/or end up donated again

thrift stores can be gross. please wash your clothes and wash your hands when youre done

resellers suck. i know.

finding designer/name brands while thrifting is fun!! obsessively combing through every store in your area just for name brands is not

reminder that thrifting isnt just something thats "quirky" or fun to do. with the cost of living being insanely high, lots of people (like me) are getting the majority of their clothes secondhand because we cant afford the crazy prices elsewhere. being broke and wanting to look cool are not mutually exclusive
