Nifty Thrifty
By far one of my favorite past times has to be thrift store hunting. Not only are you finding once in a lifetime pieces, but they are unique and you had to work hard to find such an amazing new article to your wardrobe. I recently went thrifting with a friend and found some of the best pieces for my closet, to date!
5 tips to the best thrifting!
1. Go through each item!
It may be super annoying to look through each piece of clothing, but have to let your creative juices flow! You might find an awesome pattern that can be cut into a dress or find a cool romper stuck between the hangers. Check out all items and you won'd be disappointed.
2. Try on the clothes!
Take the time to try on a few of the clothes. At least try on the jackets and sweaters in the mirror.
3. Be Bold!
Time to be creative and look for the articles of clothing you wouldn't normally wear. This is the time to buy something that's different. No need to feel bad either. Don't commit to spending too much money on these items.
4. Wash the clothes!
Make sure the second you get home, you wash the clothes you bought. Clean them up, start your project, wash out the stains and make it look awesome!
5. You can leave empty handed.
You don't have to leave with something every time you step into a second hand store. If you take the time to go through each item, I guarantee you'll find some great gems!
