Speaking as someone who relies on thrift stores for my clothing, PLEASE keep going to thrift stores. More demand creates more supply betweens stores, and we NEED to encourage a culture of sustainable, eco-friendly fashion.
CEO of giving their subscribers ACTUAL tips instead of just "shop in mens :)"
Thrifting to be trendy is better than supporting fast fashion to be trendy in my opinion. Both are cheap and convenient, but one is a lot more damaging.
i think thrifting if u don’t necessarily need to is okay, but buying stuff really cheap and then reselling for something a super high price is just unethical
dont worry, i gotchu: it's pronounced ralph lauren, not ralph lauren
Tbh i grew up poor so i lived on thrift stores and clearance aisles. When i was young i found out my bestfriend was making fun of me for buying my clothes at consignment shops. Years later in high school i learned to cut sew and reimagine clothes. I was known as the "thrift store queen" and that girl messaged me to see what thrift stores i went to since it was trendy.
i’ve been thrifting with my mom since i was a little child. we just didn’t have the money and we also cared for the environment. i used to get bullied for this but now everyone asks why i can have so many clothes without being broke... iT‘s FuNnY hOw BiTchEs TuRnEd iNtO mY fAnS..
When she compared people who are rude to customer service/retail employees, as being worse than Satan, I immediately liked the video.
Step one: have a thrift shop with normal looking clothes 😔
I remember my mom telling me to lie about where I got my clothes (including school uniforms) as a kid. I’m actually really happy that now I can just casually say “oh, I thrifted it” when someone compliments me on it.
So, my native country is a "third world country" and my mom started thrifting since I was 14, we couldn't afford to buy expensive clothes at the mall, but there were lots of thrift shops were we could find the actual same clothes, but affordable. I used to feel really ashamed to wear thrifted clothes, even when it was nice clothes or even brand new, when my friends ask where did I get it I got nervous and said "got it from internet". But later I realized lots of girls, even my best friend thrifted. Now a days is "cool to thrift" and its funny because when I find something nice I brag about how good it is and that I got from the thrift shop, almost all my wardrobe is thrifted and I feel proud about it. Hope someday I'll thrift at the US, you guys have good shops!!
As a former goodwill employee, thank you for leaving the store better than you found it. That really helps us out a lot
adding onto what she said about thrifting being controversial, coming from personal experience, there was a point in my families life where we only went to salvation army on wednesdays bc they were half off. that was our only option for clothing. to be mad at innocent teens for shopping at goodwill for cheap trendy clothes is overboard. when ur poor, u don’t care what ur clothes look like. beggers can’t be choosers. all we cared about was that our clothes were comfy and cheap. all throughout middle school my style (or lack there of) was all over the place. all of my clothes came from salvation army. but i didn’t mind because at least i had SOMETHING. now that we’re financially stable and can afford nicer clothes, i still go to thrift stores bc i know the layout, i know how to thrift, and i know that i don’t need to worry much about it being half off or not. there is absolutely nothing wrong with thrifting for the trends/aesthetic<3
My favorite thrifting tip is to go out with the hot cashier at goodwill and then ask her to text you every time they get overalls in stock
Me:
Other thrifting opportunities: yard sales, flea markets, swap meets, charity resale shops, church bazaars.
When I was younger my grandpa would go to the richer areas and we'd go to estate sales and thrift shops for the day and then he'd take me to my favorite restaurants
Thrifting becoming trendy.
other thrift shops: good cute clothing and actually worth buying
I’m the UK our “thrift shops” are actually mostly charity shops, meaning all funds collected go to charity :)
