FALL THRIFT STORE HUNTING.






















FALL THRIFT STORE HUNTING.
Fall is approaching fast and I would be lying if I said I was disappointed about it, this time of year is a fashion playground. I love to go thrifting in the beginning of the new season, I try to donate items I no longer have a use for and pick up some new and exciting things on the way out. I was hesitant on filming a video on thrift store shopping because that really isn't my niche but who cares, who doesn't love a good bargain? If you yourself are planning on doing some thrifting of your own I have a few tips on making the most out of your thrifting trip.   
  
Always bring cash. 
Thrifting is a tricky task having cash on hand is most of the times a must, although most Goodwills and Salvation armies take all major credit cards, the good stores which are not well known do not. Do yourself a favor and always have at least ten dollars on hand. 
  
 Get Your Early Morning Shop On 
Yes, I know who in the world wants to lose precious morning sleep to dig in bins for used clothes. You do. Every time I found some amazing designer pieces on a thrifting excursion has been right when the store opens its doors. You might win yourself some dirty looks from the staff with this technique but trust me if you want the good stuff you'll learn not to care.  
  


3. Shop EVERYWHERE! 
Everywhere I mean it. Do not limit yourself to one department in the store. On countless occasions, I have found some luscious little treasures in the men's department. The way that thrift stores operate you would be a fool not to explore all options. People donate all kinds of amazing things and the staff doesn't spend a ton of time organizing which is one of the many beautiful aspects of thrifting.  
  
The most important step of all is to have fun! I feel like thrifting is like a fun scavenger hunt and a time to be creative as you want with a small amount of money. I grew up going to thrift stores almost every week and I used to hate it. Now that I'm older I see now why my parents were so obsessed. Let me know some of your favorite shopping tips and any amazing thrift store finds you have found!
