A little Monday thrift haul!
One thing I didn’t account for when it came to losing weight was having to replace my closet… my poor bank account be out here crying 😂
Anyway went to Savers (normally I avoid because it’s more expensive) and found 2 pairs of jeans. Then I went down a block to the good ole Goodwill and found a couple more pairs of jeans. On the way home, I stopped at our local resale shop that raises money for childhood illness and found some tops, UA shorts, and even some Aerie leggings that I’d been on the hunt for. At this point 90% of my closet is thrifted.
Looking forward to the weekend because one of the nice subdivisions in the area is doing their community yard sales!

Replacing a wardrobe after weight loss can be surprisingly costly, but thrifting offers an excellent way to revamp your closet without breaking the bank. I found that shopping at stores like Savers and Goodwill, although sometimes pricier than other secondhand shops, still provides good deals on quality basics like jeans and casual wear. Plus, local resale shops with a charitable cause add an extra feel-good factor to the shopping experience. From personal experience, prioritizing items you genuinely need, such as jeans that fit your new size or specialty workout wear like Aerie leggings, makes thrifting much more rewarding. It’s fascinating how brands like American Eagle, Under Armour, and Aerie appear in resale aisles, providing premium pieces at a fraction of their original cost. Familiarizing yourself with washing instructions to maintain these delicate items—like handwashing certain leggings or avoiding bleach—can extend their life significantly. Community yard sales are also a treasure trove for unique and affordable clothing options. Attending these events not only supports your local community but connects you with fellow thrift enthusiasts. Remember to keep an open mind and try clothes on when possible, as fit and comfort are key, especially during a wardrobe transition after weight loss. Overall, thrifting has helped me keep 90% of my closet secondhand, which is both wallet-friendly and sustainable. If you’re undergoing a similar clothing overhaul, I highly recommend exploring thrift stores and resale shops near you. It’s a fun, eco-friendly way to refresh your style and support causes like childhood illness charities simultaneously!
