If you like to sew bedding is a great place to get fabric. Also your neck measurement is typically half your waist measurement so if you hold up a waist of pant around your neck and it touches it will fit you. If it over laps then they will be too big and if they don’t touch it will be too small.for the days you forgot to wear leggings or tights. Try it with pants you already have. You will be surprised.
I've found that although most hospice and other charity thrift stores do not have as big of selection as VV, their prices and sales are much better (better than 20%). Also their proceeds go towards the charity that they represent.
I haven’t bought any new clothes for years. If I go into a normal shop now I am taken aback by the regular prices. My tip is to look for quality labels. They last longer, tend to be better quality and more timeless and if you need to get rid of an item at a later stage they tend to retain their value on the reselling market better.
Thrift stores are now becoming very expensive. It’s not common for me to find brand new clothes in the clearance rack in department stores for much less than a used one in the thrift shop.
To our world and people, I challenged myself to start buying 2nd hand and not support fast fashion, the work conditions are so incredibly awful and sometimes even children are involved
Thrifting is like THE BEST THING EVER I love having unique clothes that I won’t or rarely see on other people I love taking my responsibilities to our planet 🫶🏻 And also grandma clothes are the cutest so…..
Every day when I leave my house I count up the percentage of what my outfit is thrifted or purchased used online. The majority of the time, my socks and undies are the only items that were purchased new. Very rarely do I buy anything new, and when I do, it's off the clearance rack or purchased from TJMaxx and Ross. I seek out used 100% cotton knit sleepwear because hardly any place sells it new anymore. Way less expensive this way! And better for the environment. I've always been a fan of thrifting, 40+ years and counting. I love your girl's channel, BTW!
I love Thred Up! I get compliments on my stuff all the time and people are blown away when I tell them it’s secondhand. It’s perfect for when you have certain brands you want to keep wearing, like American Eagle jeans or need Torrid for plus sizes.
I love these hacks and tips! I have bought 1 brand new hoody, otherwise all my clothes are second hand for the last 5 years. I loathe fast fashion so it's easy! 😊
I got a handful of original US releases of Sailor Moon books from Good Will...with the help of Amazon. Idk how many thrift stores are on Amazon, but for books online, listing really helps them find their home instead of being sad on the bookshelf in the thrift store. Yes, I know Manga Purists are going to rag on that edition, but that's the one I got from my library, and I love it so much I want to revisit them again and again.
@tina c I don't buy a lot of physical books. Just ones I can't get digitally or the physical properties of the book itself, like size reference or accurate color reproduction.
😢 I m still not 100% thrifter but I get lot sometime from my no buy group satisfaction at end is I bought the items and save money .. I use to shop when bored n Nothing to do 100% shopaholic type A .. now 5 years late I have brought few items & shoes new as hard to find what I was looking for in thrifting.. and few from no buy .. I hate going shopping now ..
Women are so funny when they think they saving money by not “buying new clothes in 4 years” bro I literally have never bought clothes in my life just out here wearing what my mom bought me when I was younger
If you are seeking pieces that will survive the tests of time, choose classics. Basics give you the opportunity to learn to mix your pieces. Tim Gunn has a list of basics that every woman needs in their wardrobe. Great place to begin!
A lot do! Also, 10% if you’re a teacher or student. Also, also- it’s good to be aware of the different discounts being offered On the different days of the week❤
🙏 I just broke my thrift-only rule for the first time in a looong time last night, $$ gift card got the best of me. I tbh thought of you and your second-hand pledge, thanks for keeping up the thrifting fight! 💪

@@Ddalgiichigo check men's section for roomy pants.

Go the first week of the month, people purge when they move. ❤

I also take things I'm trying to color match, just a swatch or paint chip. Makes things a whole lot easier.
Thread up is my go to shop

I buy a lot of books from major thrift stores online. Great suggestion!

This was VERY helpful b/c I hate buying new clothes but I always feel like I don’t have anything to wear.

What thrift store gives discounts for donating!!?? I need to know.
Value Village in Toronto does
Salvation Army does. They gave me 50% coupons for donating like 3 big bags of clothes, shoes and home goods.
Good Will in GP color codes their items and has each color 50% off a day throughout the week.
I don’t remember how many years I bought second hand clothes 😊 I love it!
In America we don't get no 20% off for donating 😢
A lot do! Also, 10% if you’re a teacher or student. Also, also- it’s good to be aware of the different discounts being offered
On the different days of the week❤
@@laurenmiles2676 some give tax credit but that's been my experience here in in NYC
Some will also give military and veterans discounts too, never hurts to ask! You don't know until you try!
my local thrift store doesnt do coupons anymore :( wah
noooo :(
Babes you need to select the thumbnails for these shorts or it ends up looking very funny 😂
hahaha you can't anymore 😂

Do you buy all your underwear, bras, and socks second hand?
I haven't bought any clothes in 4 years
I wish it was easier to find cool second hand clothes for men...
I honestly forgot all about ivy park.
The environment is in China. All the fashion clothes are made there. Plus nuclear energy will solve all the other issues. Support nuclear.
