07 Jun Thriftspiration: Finding High Fashion at the Thrift Store
Thriftspiration is a weekly series that puts a spotlight on readers who share their secondhand shopping tips and fun ways to style thrifted finds.
Name: Thrift Society
Location: DC Metro Area
*This week's Thriftspiration is a bit different, as Thrift Society exclusively uses secondhand clothes for photo shoots. All of the photos are from shoots they've styled with thrifty threads.
When and why did you start thrift shopping?
When I was about five years old my grandma would take me to the "used store" and give me a few bucks so I could get what I wanted. I thought it was the coolest thing! When I got to high school I would look in fashion magazines for inspiration and recreate the look with mostly thrifted items.
What three words would you use to describe your style?
My personal style is corporate, hippie and fashionista. As far as styling it depends on the vision for the shoot or the model.
