I must confess my love, for secondhand stores. From antique shops and your basic thrift, to places like Plato's Closet that cater just too teens. It may take some time, but if you thumb through everything at a decent pace, you can find some of the best things.If I look to my left, I see the portable record player, and multiple records I've collected from different shops. To my right, are the pumps I found today at Plato's. And in front of me are the many picture frames I have acquired at DAV and the Salvation Army.
Some people may think they are too good for thrifting, or think the idea of wearing something that once belonged to someone else is gross. I think that it is a brilliant way to save some coin, and, truth be told, buy something that you know no one else owns.
Perhaps it's just because thrift clothes fit my personal style, but I find better clothing at thrift stores than I do at Forever 21. Retro is the way to go. That is my day to day motto. And if I'm not feeling retro, then plain and simple with some flair is the next best thing.
So, main point to this entry is: Shop at thrift stores, because you never know what great things you'll find.
