Come thrift shopping w/ me! Hit or Miss?

I only go thrifting when I feel like looking. 🔍🕵️

If not, it’ll be over stimulating and I won’t grab anything good. I haven’t been to Platos Closet in YEARS! So, with a friend’s invite, off I went.

I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again. Thrifting used clothing is only useful when the price matches the quality and is a unique piece to add to your wardrobe. Yes, sustainable shopping is supportive to the good of the planet, but I’m also mindful of the propaganda of greenwashing.

Nonetheless, I think I found some good finds today.

... Read moreThrift shopping has become a popular way to find unique fashion pieces while also being eco-conscious. In recent years, stores like Plato's Closet have gained popularity among fashion enthusiasts. When thrifting, it's important to focus on quality pieces, especially when considering the rising trend of sustainable fashion. Look for items that not only fit well but also showcase your personal style. The thrill of the hunt—finding that perfect item at a fraction of the retail price—makes thrifting exciting! Additionally, shopping at thrift stores helps reduce waste and supports a more sustainable approach to fashion. Remember to keep an open mind and be patient during your search. Some items may require some creativity to style, but that's part of the fun! Also, be aware of the potential for greenwashing; not every sustainable claim is genuine. Always scrutinize items for quality and value. Happy thrifting, and may you find your next favorite piece!

Vintage treasures, western finds, and so much inspiration for Cotton & Rust. Every stop had something different, and that's what I love most about thrifting— you never know what you'll find, but you always come home inspired. Which one is your favorite? #TreasureHunting #Cotton

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.

Thrift shopping: yes or no? 👀🛍️ Unpopular opinion: thrifting used to be about affordability, but now it feels like everyone treats it like a trend. Prices are higher, people buy out the good stuff just to resell it, and somehow a used shirt costs more than a new one at the mall 😅 At the same

Time to hunt for hidden gems at my local thrift store. I found some really good things, but only two came home with me. I love giving used clothes and shoes a second chance. Feels so good to save some money and keep stuff out of the landfills. What is the best thrift find you have scored?

Enjoy thrifting. Love many decorating styles. Picking bargains. But I can’t take them all home. So, with regret, some treasures get left behind. Lemon8 allows me to remember and share them with you. The little jewelry chest was so stinking cute. The barn pic was primo, just out of my budget. Alway
