Most of the time those are the only places we shop. I have even gotten my 10 year old to ONLY want to go there because you never know what you will find and with the little allowance she gets she can actually afford to buy something with her own money!

I'm not embarrassed at all to tell anyone that I'm sporting thrift store wear, mostly because I can't wait to tell them that I got it for some ridiculously cheap price :P . . . I also love them because they inspire DIY so easily, and I love to sew (I was into t-shirt mashing for a summer). I sometimes buy big clothes because I can cut them up and make something totally different out of them.Another trick I swear by is to shop strictly clearance or sale racks at department stores. I NEVER buy anything full price, unless it's absolutely a must have (which happens rarely). I LOVE THRIFT STORES!!!

I found both of my prom dresses at thrift stores one for $50 and one for $36 and they were both absolutely gorgeous and i got like a thousand compliments on them. Plus at the store where i got my second prom dress my mom had decided she would be willing to spend up to $100 dollars on a prom dress and since i couldn't decide between two she got me both (for $36 each)! Plus all three dresses are ones i can't wait to wear again. I LOVE thrifting.

They experiment a lot with bright colors and layered shirts underneath. Simple, but maybe helpful! Jessi-

I always find jeans stretch out and no longer fit me when I buy them new. I'm also only 5' so I can never find jeans that are short enough for me. Great thing is, lots of people hem them for me when I buy them second-hand. :) And since I like them snug, I don't have to worry about them stretching out!(And they all only cost like 9$!)
