If you're reading this, I'm on vacation in Belize.
This is the only new post of the week, but when I come back, there's some great stuff on the horizon, like the tote bag above!
I'm an avid thrifter and there's a thrill I naturally get when I walk into the thrift shop. From scouring the racks to finding that perfect vintage gem, there's such a high that naturally comes with thrift shopping. However, sometimes you just don't want to deal with the crowds.
When I go thrifting, I don't typically seek out vintage garments in particular. I buy whatever speaks to my style and sometimes that's a 70s pleated dress or a Zara necklace. But I do notice I subconsciously pick up vintage clothes and accessories. The pieces are just so unique and have superior craftsmanship, which is something you don't get with fast fashion.
But how do you wear vintage in a way that's not costume-y? This week's Thrifty Threads is all about mixing vintage and contemporary pieces for a modern look.
I typically hold all thrift related posts for Thursday {gotta love Thrifty Thursday!}, but I didn't want to delay posting this fun project. Last week I worked with StyleBlazer to film a short video on the do's and don'ts of thrift shopping. While I see thrifting as an easy, fun pastime, I know plenty others see it as intimidating and time consuming.
If that's you, then check out the video below where I share how to navigate crowded racks, shopping for accessories and what I call my go-to thrifting uniform that makes it easier to shop.
