FAQs

What makes you decide to thrift instead of buying new?

There is something so satisfying about going on a hunt and finding something special that not many people will have. We see the same clothes everyday on everyone with not much character. Why not take the extra time to find the perfect one of a kind piece that was made for you?

How do you pinpoint quality over fast fashion?

The key to finding quality is knowing your brands and shopping vintage. If you are not really into big brands, you can always google what you find to see if it is quality. Be sure to check out the feel of the material and stretch. Checking out what the piece is made of is also key to a great pick.

How do you stay focused and not get overwhelmed while shopping?

The most important factor to a successful thrift trip is to always go prepared. Start your day with a coffee or drink of your choice to make sure you’re relaxed and hydrated. I also like to ensure I’ve had a good night sleep to make sure I am full of energy to get those deals!

How do you not overspend while thrifting all those deals?

It is so easy to go into thrift stores and become consumed with all of those good deals. I know it is tempting to grab everything you see but please don’t. This can lead to an oversaturated closet of items that you’ll never see. Try going in with a look in mind and a list of what you want. Setting a budget is also a great idea to make sure you aren’t buying just to buy.
