Want to pop tags, but only $20 in your pocket?
Here’s a little thrifting haul for the top of the year. Second hand shopping has always been the go to for vintage lovers and girlies who don’t want to break the bank. It’s crazy to think, but pretty soon all of the thrift shops will be filled with trashy fast fashion ( and if you’ve been to any thrift store you can see it already happening).
🛍️*Thrifting Tip*🛍️
Shop according to fabric! You want to look for the most luxurious fabrics/materials. Durable, long lasting fabric is the way to go! I mean- if it’s lasted this long… it should still hold up! Move those pieces around! How does it react to the light? Does it appear different in natural lighting? You wouldn’t want to spend a dime to look like a penny! It’s giving OPULENCE! That’s the only thing we are going for here. Also, the area in where you thrift plays a major role. Think about older people in wealthy areas! 💵
Each piece was under $10…and most of them under $5. You could easily pull together a look for under $20!
(The skirt was from Saks 5th…😝I know, I made out like a fat cat)
I’ll show you guys how I intent to style these pieces. Just think a mix of patterns and textures!

Thrifting is not just about saving money; it's a way to express your unique style through sustainable choices. When you shop at thrift stores, you can find one-of-a-kind items that tell a story and contribute to a circular economy. Pay close attention to the fabric and structure of clothing to ensure longevity—the better the material, the longer it will last in your wardrobe. Luxe fabrics like silk or quality cotton can elevate even the simplest designs into chic outfits. It's essential to be strategic about where you thrift. Areas with affluent populations often yield higher-quality finds as they donate their gently-used items. Consider shopping during sales or discount days to maximize your budget. Also, don't forget to be open-minded with styling; combining patterns and textures can create visually appealing looks. Share your finds and styling ideas on social platforms to inspire others and build a community around thrifting. Happy hunting!
