Thrift Store Shopping

I went thrift store shopping a couple days ago. As I have said before thrift is a good way to shop especially when you are on a budget. I spent a couple hours shopping and I only bought a really cute top (I'll post pics soon) which is pretty normal for me. I thought I'd post a few tips for those of you that are new to thrifting.

• If you like something and it doesn't quite fit, buy it anyways chances are you know someone with the skills to tailor it for you. If not there are lots of tailors that will take something in or out, fix hemline, and more for a small fee. Even if you do have to pay to get it tailored you will probably still save more than buying the same item retail.
• Only buy something if you are sure you are going to wear or use it in some way, even if it is cheap. There is nothing like having a closest full of clothes you can't or don't wear!! Worst of all you won't have room for new clothes that you love!
• Don't get discouraged if you do not find something you like right off. You might spend the whole day shopping and only buy one thing. Once you get the hang of it and find out which stores carry things you like, thrift store shopping well become a lot easier.
• Most of all have Fun!!!
