When and why did you start thrift shopping?
I started thrifting three years ago because I was a broke college student. I was inspired by ladies like yourself to shed the stigma of wearing "used clothes." Now, instead of spending money buying cheaply made clothing, I spend the time to find quality, sometimes even designer clothing, for a fraction of the price.
What three words would you use to describe your style?
Girly, girly, girly!
How did you style your outfits?
My style is actually pretty simple: Step 1. Grab something high waisted. Step 2. Tuck in your blouse. Step 3 {optional}. Wear a hat! I was once told that my style is repetitive, but it's my style and I'm sticking to it.
Remember when I mentioned I'd be bringing back the Thriftspiration feature where I highlight the style of thrift and vintage lovers? Well, it's here! And it only made sense to start with a bang.
I love Chrisette Michele's music and the singer is also a pro thrifter. She recently shared a video on her site, Rich Hipster, of her getting into a little vintage shopping while in Florida. She scored a ton of affordable pieces at an indie vintage shop and even shows how she styled them.
