How to thrift like a PRO 🛍️

I don’t thrift like everyone else 👀

Most people walk into the thrift store with no plan and leave with a bag of things they never actually wear.

Here’s how I thrift step by step so my closet stays intentional, wearable, and worth every dollar:

★ Know the vibe before you go

Have an inspo board ready. Decide if you’re looking for baggy or fitted, comfort or structure, dark palette or light.

★ Start in the men’s section

Best place for oversized or low-rise jeans and jackets. Prices are usually better too. I go pants first, then tops.

★ Hunt accessories like treasure

Check jars, bottom bins, random bracelets under ten others. The good stuff is rarely in plain sight.

★ Edit your haul on an empty rack

Lay everything out and ask yourself if it fits the vibe, if it’s practical, and if you’ll actually wear it.

★ Clean everything

Wash clothes. Sanitize accessories. Even if the store says items are clean, stay safe.

Save this for your next thrift trip and send it to a friend who swears there’s nothing good at the thrift store. 📌

@kenniectrl if you’re ready to thrift with intention.
