We love thrift store shopping ✨

We spent the day exploring some amazing thrift stores! We ended up getting some really old toys- hopefully they aren’t haunted 😂 They really wanted the baby dolls but I was not bringing those back to my house! My biggest regret is not getting that camo jacket. #thriftwithme #familylife #Lemon8Scrapbook

... Read moreThrift store shopping has become increasingly popular as more people recognize its benefits, including sustainability, affordability, and the thrill of finding unique items. Vintage clothing, antique home decor, and retro toys are just a few treasures that can be uncovered in these stores. This shopping trend not only promotes recycling, but it also supports local businesses and charitable organizations. Many thrift stores donate a portion of their proceeds to communities, making every purchase impactful. Additionally, the process of searching for unique items adds an element of excitement to your shopping experience. To make the most of your thrift store visits, plan your trip by setting a budget, making a list of items you need, and keeping an open mind. Don’t be afraid to dig through racks and shelves—the best finds are often hidden among the more common pieces. Engaging with fellow thrift shoppers can also enhance your experience; consider joining local thrift groups online to share finds and tips. Since thrift stores often rotate their inventory, frequent visits can maximize your chances of discovering one-of-a-kind items that resonate with your personal style. Stay connected with the thrift community through hashtags like #thriftwithme and #thriftshopping to share your experiences and inspiration. Happy hunting!

I went to a little store kind of close to my today and here’s some things I thought were interesting but didn’t actually end up purchasing. I’m not someone who cares that much about the name brands of thinking being real or not. So I thought they were kind of cool. - - - - - #thriftlife

I love thrift shopping and whenever I’m traveling, I make a point of going to a few vintage and secondhand shops in whatever city I’m in. Paris is amazing for shopping and can be overwhelming. For those who want to focus on vintage & thrift, here is what I found in my research and travels.

A title slide with black text on a blurred background, stating "3 things we learned running an online thrift store (and how we fixed them)" with arrows pointing right.
A slide explaining that "Tag sizes are meaningless in secondhand fashion" due to variations, vintage sizing, and changes from wear, making online thrifting feel like gambling.
A slide detailing how the store stopped relying on tag sizes by hand-measuring every item, listing bust, waist, and hip ranges, and sorting by measurement, not size tag.
Running an online thrift store taught us a lot.
Most secondhand systems weren’t built to support real bodies or real sizing variance, so we stopped doing things the “normal” way. * We measure every piece while ignoring tag sizes. * We built a measurement-based size chart that works across brands, eras, and bodies. * We over-communicate on l
