i needed new clothes, like i absolutely have no clothes to run an errand in or go out in. I just have chill at home clothes that have stains and holes in them maybe tmi but im on the internet to be free. Anyway you could go thrifting alone but it’s always better to have a second opinion on stuff or in my case have someone choose stuff for you because you’re an absolute basket case and can’t sort or look through stuff and decipher what is cute / what will fit or not.

Thrifting is amazing for so many reasons:
- sustainable
- a fun mission
- affordable
- good quality stuff at a much lower price
- anything and everything is possible!
I like to go to the more affluent thrift stores in the burbs (the old ladies like to donate their good brands, silk, cashmere, ect).
My method is to go in with an intention, a manifestation, if you will. More times than not, it will be there! Bonus thrift karma if you bring an offering to donate.
I will take it rack by rack - shove everything to one side and shift through as quickly as possible - looking for higher end brands and materials (silk, cashmere, linen, denim, leather, and cotton). Avoid rayon, acrylic, polyester, anything synthetic if you can.
Fashion repeats itself every 20 years so likely whatever trendy item you’re looking for already exists from another decade and likely it will be better quality.
Last point is to know the difference between vintage and thrift. Vintage stores they have already done the “sourcing” so they are marked up. I love the grimy thrift stores and the smaller ones (not Goodwill - prices are a fking joke there). I also do a lot of online searching on Depop, Poshmark, EBay, fb marketplace, Mercari, ect. Found an entire new wardrobe for my partner online for less than $200.

I always have loved clothes and fashion. I have so much on my clothing rack right now that it's falling over so I feel I can't keep buying more (even though I will). But for now, I still want to take photos of my friends and myself in very cute outfits so we always go to those very cute curated thrift stores with displays and gorgeous room designs and get an outfit together and take photos, and were don't end up spending a cent. So you should do it, it's fun.

Deleted tiktok and finished three books in a week. I should’ve deleted the app sooner. It’s actually so insane how ingrained tiktok scrolling has been in my daily routine. without the app I was just scrolling through the most random apps ever, then realized like damn this is a problem 😭 I miss it bad but I also don’t need it. Twitter is next 🙏 I need to fill my time with productive and fulfilling activities, no more mindless scrolling ‼️
