09 Apr How to Thrift Shop the Trends
Fashion trends come and go but one thing is constant: no matter what the trend, you can find it at a thrift store. Some people still think of thrift stores as having crappy leftovers other people no longer see fit to wear. Sometimes that’s true but other times, you find awesome, current threads. And because fashion is so cyclical, what was hot years ago is once again in style. While thrifting last week, I came across a few trends that I’ve seen on the runway. Instead of dropping major cash on an “it” item of the moment, you can save a ton by thrifting the trends.
Florals were seen in collections by Alexander Wang, Prabal Gurung, and countless others and I found a ton of them at the Salvation Army, from blazers to dresses to skirts. It was an absolute explosion of flower power.
I scoped out a Diane von Furstenberg blouse for $7…
And cute cropped pants…
Polka dots are another trend we’ve seen (below: Tory Burch and Adam). The trick to wearing this tricky design is to go for smaller dots. They make a statement without being too overwhelming to your figure.
And lo and behold, I came across a pair of high waisted, Betsey Johnson polka dot pants.
They didn’t have a tag on them so I took them to the counter and the sales clerk priced them at $5. I’d say that’s a thrift store score!
Whether you’re looking for other trends {sheer, prints, ruffles, lace, etc}, there’s a good chance you can find them at your local secondhand shop.
What trends have you snagged from the thrift store? Have you become more adventurous with trying trends since you can buy them for next to nothing at a secondhand store?

Posted at 15:34h, 09 AprilI just bought a pair of purple skinny jeans this weekend. I figure if I’m going to try the bright colored jeans trend, the six dollar investment at the thrift store is the way to go (:

Posted at 00:40h, 10 AprilGreat posts. I’ve fallin’ off my thrifting game but just got the idea that I should probably consider thrifting to find some colored jeans instead of giving Gap $70 for something that won’t be relevant next season.

Posted at 04:20h, 12 AprilI went thrifting today and I found a total of 6 pieces of wonders for $20.30! Polka dot collared shirt, floral blouse, a red/white sheer floral chiffon blouse, jean vest that I plan to alter, the PERFECT red blazer with gold buttons (classy!), and a gold necklace for accessories! The blazer has to be the best. It fits perfectly.. as if it was tailored for me and looks totally stylish and classy. So happy!
