*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.

When and why did you start thrift shopping? My late grandmother absolutely loved thrifting and as a child, I never quite understood it. I simply could not get with the idea of wearing secondhand clothes! It wasn’t until I started blogging two years ago that I really got into it and I’m so glad I did. My grandmother would be proud. I absolutely love mixing old and new.
What three words would you use to describe your style? Stylish. Thrifted. Chic.

When and why did you start thrift shopping? I stepped foot inside my first thrift store when I was 11, and I still shop there almost every day!  Before that I lived in France where we have city-wide yard sales for the whole town. Those are super fun and that’s where I learned to bargain. Now I thrift full time for my Etsy shop.
What three words would you use to describe your style? Quirky. Misfit. Vintage.
How did you style your outfit {above}? I’ve tried planning my outfits ahead, but that never works, because I never wake up in the same mood or mindset as the night before.  I usually pick one “focus piece” and make it pop by pairing it with something that will accentuate the print, colors or texture.  I started this look with the white and navy shirt and loved that the colors were inverted on the jacket. The sharp vintage lapel bring out the printed collar on the shirt, which I tucked in a pair of high waist polka dot shorts.  The length falls perfectly above the jacket, while still keeping it classy.  And I added an extra retro touch with these bold shades from Buffalo Exchange. I almost never wear jewelry. I think my clothes are pretty loud on their own so I don’t think it’s necessary to accessorize.  I know some people would kill me for saying that.

My mom always had a flair for vintage things: clothing, furniture and especially handbags. I always felt that there was something special about giving new life to things that someone else wasn't using anymore. I still feel the same way now!What three words would you use to describe your style? Creative. Bold. Fly.
