5 things I dislike about thrifting as a thrifter
1. Prices are becoming outrageous for PRE-WORN clothing. I won’t blame it only on resellers but that definitely contributes to the problem. As a college student, thrifting is what I can afford and now some things I’m finding are out of my budget these days. 2. People who are snobby about brands
