4 TRENDY THINGS TO SHOP FOR AT THRIFT STORES

I’m not afraid to admit that I haven’t bought anything at retail price in years. Ok, maybe underwear. You might think that means that I’m going around in bell-bottom cords and puff-painted sweaters, but really one of the great things about fashion is that it just keeps coming back around – there’s a good chance that what’s in style now was in style before.

 

Shopping at thrift stores isn’t just a statement about consumerism; you’ll spend less money and end up with “Where did you get that?”-inspiring, unique pieces. In that spirit, here are some items to buy at thrift stores instead of name-brand retail stores:

1.  High waisted skirts may be all the rage right now, but they’re far from new, since the flapper era the waistline didn’t really move down south until the age of Britney Spears’ low-riders. Thank god the high waist is back, and secondhand skirts are the best way to celebrate it. Look for patterns and shapes you like in any cut.  You can easily have it shortened to the perfect length, or even better shorten it yourself.
