Miss Zhebbie’s 🍒🤍 Thrifting 1️⃣0️⃣1️⃣ !
I wanted to make a little post with my thrifting tips & tricks since I know many like my sense of style & what not, and it’s good to buy second~hand then giving into fast~fashion demands! ☝🏼
〜 Before you go thrifting, especially if you believe in manifestation, I recommend making a pinterest board or collage with the type of styles you like and things that you’re looking for. I feel this always heightens your chances of finding something you’ll like and it’ll give purpose to your search!
〜 Check tags & be in the know of fast fashion brands — what’s the point of getting it if it’ll just be low quality and won’t last long! In a similar vein, check for stains and rips, especially on light colored clothes.
〜 Do not buy for the sake of buying — make sure you’ll wear it! If you really know you want to wear it but don’t already have something in your closet that’ll go with it, then see if you can find a matching piece. It’s such a shame to buy something that’ll just have to be resold.
↖️ In this vein — upcycle! Learn how to sew, or find a friend who enjoys it and give them your ideas for what to do. Admittedly, I have many “passion projects” sitting in my closet at the moment — clothes I bought that I see potential in upcycling but don’t have the means to yet — which isn’t an inherently bad thing, but it can be if your closet is only ‘what-ifs’!
〜 It’s best to go thrifting on weekdays (Thursday/Friday especially) and in the morning — no one has the free time to go then, so most things have been untouched. Always keep yourself up to date with when your local thrift shops restock as well!
I hope this helps somebunny 🐰 out there! The most important tip I have is to have fun! ♡︎
