I bought THREE bec + bridge dresses for a wedding that were all over $300 each and every single one felt like shein. returned all of them and wore a vintage betsey johnson evening gown that i got FOR FREE from my coworker who had it in her closet for 20 years. modern stuff is just made so badly even when it’s expensive that you should always thrift something older!

i think these days, price doesn’t indicate quality. there’s plenty of “high-end” expensive brands that make their clothes out of 100% polyester. I think it’s more about material composition, and you can find pieces that are made of quality materials at the thrift for cheap!

I am a jacket addict. Because I’m a commuter and I never leave home without a jacket. No matter where you live, I highly recommend stalking the clearance sales in January for a 3-in-1 jacket. I’ve bought them for as little as $100 in the past (they can cost $200 and up) and they are the best of both worlds. When it’s not very cold (50-60F), I wear just the waterproof shell. It’s breaks the wind and keeps my body heat in. When it’s cooler (40s) I wear the shell and a hoodie, or just the puffy liner. When it’s cold (teens-30s) I zip in the puffy liner. Seriously, this is my most used jacket. Thrift it if you can. But it really is a solid investment.

I haven't watched the whole video yet (loving it so far tho), but one thing I think is worth mentioning is that if you have the money, do the splurge if you really really want smething instead of finding cheaper alternatives that you just buy because they're alternatives. Like sometimes you'll find something similar at the thrift that is just equally as wonderful and makes you equally as happy, but I have made the mistake too often of buy*ing clothing that usually I would never have picked up, just because I thought it to be an alternative for something and in the end I wasn't satisfied, never wore it and kind of just wasted my money. I dunno if that makes sense, just thought I would leave that here ☺

I shop in the men’s and boys often! I have found some of my best pieces there! Thrifting, though… Oh, my goodness hasn’t changed so much lately! I am astounded at the price increases and bougie Ness of thrift shopping. It has become so popular, and Necessary due to trend and economy. I have to tell you, I have had to turn things away at the thrift store. I would’ve ordinarily been happy to buy because they were actually close to new prices! It really, really depends on what it is, the brand, the condition before I purchase something, but the upside of it all is that I leave the store with less and I’m a picky or shopper now, which ultimately has been a very good thing. Excellent tips and advice, especially about coats to! I live in a cold climate and definitely need an array of coats for wet and cold weather. I love my wool coats very much and those have actually been my smallest ticket items surprisingly! Some of the thrift stores around here get so overloaded with them that they sell them for very cheap.
@LaurynAmini9 ай бұрын
Wait!! I’ve never thought to get plain tees from the little boys section! I’m definitely trying that one, that makes more sense to me than investing in one white shirt! Also, I do agree that it’s the materials you should look for more than the price. You can find SO many great quality stuff second hand, I love it!

i like how you include different ways a person invests in clothing bc even in thrifting, i do consider "investing" in something when they're a bit more expensive.

I just can't seem to get good stuff like these in the thrift store in my area, they are always so worn down
