I remember one of the first times I went thrift shopping when I moved to NYC. It was a disaster! Though some would consider me a thrift shopping pro today {Nate Berkus even called me a sorceress at thrifting!}, it hasn't always been that way. Yeas ago I was totally overwhelmed by the NYC thrifting scene and I walked out of a massive warehouse of secondhand clothes after 10 minutes.

But living on a magazine assistant budget was enough to get me back in to the thrift stores ASAP and music played a major part in it. When I started making shopping playlists, my experience changed.
