Going to thrift stores to find clothes is never a bad idea. However, sometimes, you can’t find anything cute. But don’t worry—there are solutions.
The most important part of thrifting is finding the right store at the right time. There’s Goodwill, desert industries(DI), castaways, savers, and others. Sometimes, there will be good finds in some stores at random points in time. Like one time, you’ll find amazing clothes at DI, and they find what you’re looking for at Goodwill. So it’s important to explore through the stores and even check out a couple in one trip.
Another important thing is to learn how to style clothes. Here is where you can start to get creative. Some clothes on their own aren’t the cutest, but if you learn how to style clothes by shape, color, size, texture, etc. It’s also important to learn to look at clothes form a different perspective, like instead of weird it can be visually interesting and unique.
Another important thing is learning how to flip clothes. Here is where things start to get fun. You can make any old, boring clothes into something cute. You can take a t-shirt and turn it into a super cute tube top, or you can take a pair of skinny jeans and turn them into a skirt. Thrifting could be a good way to get into making clothes by going and finding pieces based on color and pattern, then shape and style. You can find so many tutorials for things like this on Pinterest, and you can redo your closet with clothes you can proudly say you made.
Whenever youa are going thrifting and you are struggling to find what you want, always remember it’s a matter of perspective and creativity.
