Thrift store shopping?

Question

How do put together a unqiue fashionable outfit at a thrift store?

Answer 1

I sometimes buy a jacket that matches a dress separately.
Sometimes the jacket or skirt is part of its own 2-pc set, but if the set is cheap enough, it is still inexpensive to buy two different sets and remix them to make one different outfit.

I look for dresses that are lined, which are better quality and don't require a slip. Thin unlined dresses are great to wear "underneath" other jackets or skirts, to act as a slip or a blouse.

I don't always find items that match at the same time or the same place. Black items are easier to match, but colors like red can be different shades and are harder to match without comparing directly.

Also, if buttons are missing or outdated, I replace these with
fancier buttons or even pins and jewelry. I either buy buttons
in discounted sets on clearance, or buy thrift items that are marked down so cheap, the buttons alone are worth more.

Oh geez thrift stores are the bomb for finding truly unique items but here is the catch you have to be patient and sometimes dig through loads of "grannie" clothes and also be aware of the sizes. Some people give things up because they shrink so try stuff on, if there is no dressing room put it on over the clothes you have on and go from there(so dont wear big huge sweaters). I like to buy truly vintage clothes from a little thrift shop down the road, I dont have much luck with Goodwill and other frequently visited thrift stores. So try to dig out the quaint little place for the best threads. Happy Hunting.....

hi,
Buy only what you really like. The white cuffed blouses shown in magazines, they go with sweaters and jackets. There are always a few of these, sometimes new.
Different shops have different merchandise. If you find one shop has great skirts, buy only these there. Some places have really nice sweaters, and little else. Some places have designer trousers.
Its up to you to shop around, don't buy too much at once to put together one outfit. A simple blouse and skirt can start something nice. Try to buy things you like, and they will coordinate. The accessories are usually pretty nice, too.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Marissa G. DiBartolo

I quickly keep church sales, backyard sales and thrift shops for deals. First you will desire to recognize approximately what something expenses new so which you recognize in case you have become a deal or not. constantly look the article over a number of circumstances for defects or placed on, there is often a reason different than the guy purely did not choose it anymore. you are able to keep a super kind of funds on kinfolk products, kit, outfits in case you put in the time. i are turning out to be a clean females backpack leather-based handbag for $a million.50, a upholstered storage ottoman like new (hubby repaired the hinge in 5 minutes) for $10., a lot of denims, shirts, t-shirts and sweaters for my at as quickly as becoming son. Heck, i've got even picked up some super outfits products for myself. whilst i bypass to a sale, I constantly have funds and a lot of smaller costs. additionally recognize the sizes and measurements of the human beings you would be paying for garments for. and that i constantly take a tape degree; some human beings decrease the tags thoroughly out and measuring is the only way you would recognize if it is going to in positive condition. I actually have a computing device with such archives in. I even have placed my window sizes in so i recognize if that set of curtains or drapes will in positive condition. while you're reachable, you will get furniture for some money that if repaired, refinished or repainted which will look like a million! And "the quest" is almost relaxing too!

Answer 6

YOU MIGHT TRY SEVERAL STORES AND TRY TO PICK ITEMS THAT LOOK NEW AND POSSIBLY THEY ARE NEW ITEMS. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT YOU LIKE IN ONE STORE THEN THEY WILL HOLD IT FOR YOU AND JUST TELL THEM YOULL BE BACK IN AN HOUR OR TWO. CHECK OTHER STORES AND MAYBE THEY WILL HAVE OTHER ITEMS YOU CAN USE. EVEN SHOES , AND WHATEVER. IF THEY ARE HOLDING SOMETHING FOR YOU THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE IT, BUT TO BE POLITE ALWAYS GO BACK AND TELL THEM YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND.
