Ok...when I like something I go hard. Thrifting is my thing! After my 5th store, I no longer smell the infamous thrift aroma. I picked up this peach silkish shirt($5). Vintage detail. Checked the label to see if I could hand wash it. Only to realize, it was DianeVon Furstenberg! I usually don't care about labels but, this just sweetens the thrifting deal. I also got a pussy bow striped blouse, leather skirt, slacks, brand new with tags attached Ann Taylor blazer and Ann Klein slacks.
Rules of the Game:
Don't buy it unless you love it
Don't buy it because it's cheap
Bring a list
Don't rush through the aisles
Size doesn't matter-Try everything on
Location, location, location- The location of the stores matters to some degree.
Best buys are items that don't require alteration. I can't sew so, if I have to factor in the cost of alterations, its closer to paying retail :(
I don't do thrifted shoes. I just can't! I'm afraid of foot fungus..LOL
The more you save on clothes. The more you can spend on shoes.
For every few items you bring in, you should give one or two away.
Happy Thrifting!
