My Thrifting Tips

I have searched the web high and low for thrifting tips. Being unsatisfied I have decided to craft my own. Sorry guys, this advice is more for the ladies but some things apply.

The first tip, BE AWARE OF FASHION. There are two parts to this tip:
a) Be aware of the current trends. You can do this by taking not of others clothing choices or reviewing up-to-date fashion magazines. Take note of colors, shapes, and textures.

b)Be aware of the classics. Classic clothing pieces are the foundation of your wardrobe: White button up shirt, proper fitting 3-piece suit, a simple black dress, a cardigan, and a great pair of jeans. And accessories, a satchel hand bag, a great watch, pearls--earrings and necklace

By understanding and being aware of fashion trends and classics you will have more success with thrift store shopping. The next tip is to BE PATIENT. It takes time to find the classics and the trends. My advice is to grab everything find and bring it into the dressing room. Take the time to try on each piece.

Having patience while thriftin is a necessity. Another necessity is to BE BRAVE. Grab everything you can find and be creative. Most of the time being creative takes a little bravery. But bravery can pay off. When you really feel good about what you are wearing and you are able take ownership over the outfit you have created it will show in your confidence.

So in conclusion, Be aware of fashion, Be patient, Be brave and lastly BE YOURSELF!

Good Luck Thrifting!
