What kind of fashion thrifter are you?

Wow, friend, you really have an eye for beautiful threads and the patience to peruse until you find them!

You’re super decisive and know how to blend new trends with pre-loved scores to form a beautiful style all your own. But, you’re also fluid enough to let happy accidents happen.

Keeping your peripheral on red carpet events and the socials might seem frivolous, but for you, it translates into knowing when you’ve struck gold at consignment and thrift shops.

You know your designers, old and new, and do a happy dance when you see a tag no one else has snagged.

As a fashionista with vision, you won't follow rules that feel outdated or unnecessary. As a conscious consumer, be proud of doing your part to breathe new life into things that might otherwise pollute.

“I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.”

— Julia Stiles

1. Rotate your wardrobe

Out with the old and in with the new-to-you.

Rotating your wardrobe has some benefits, you can make a bit of cash by selling stuff, feel great about giving things away, and keep your style fresh!

If that sounds too good to be true, check out these online options for selling clothes and accessories.

Or...

Here’s a directory for thrift stores, so you can find one in your area.

2. Tailoring and sprucing up

The thing about thrifting is you often find to-die-for items that don’t quite fit, the cut isn’t current or there’s a flaw. Making friends with a tailor who can alter and fix things is a game changer. Even if it adds a bit to the bottom line, you’ve stayed on budget by buying pre-loved.

Are you handy with scissors and a sewing machine? All the better, if you can DIY your alterations into creations. Don’t you just love having one-of-a-kind, head turning fashion that has your friends asking, “where did you get that!?”

Here’s a blog post about laundering, repairing and tailoring different fabrics.

3. Shop on a schedule

Thrifting is an art form, enjoying the hunt on a schedule will ensure this creative hobby is rewarding.

The best way to score great finds is by checking out your fave local or online thrift shops often. Find out drop off days, seasonal change overs, and get to know the staff.

Schedule shopping days that coincide with drop-off days so you check all the boxes:

• Shop

• Save time

• Grab any money they owe you from consigning.

Your ultimate bargain bestie...

I'm Lucky Bargoonaroony, Etsy vintage seller extraordinaire, sourdough and espresso aficionado, retired dental hygienist, and proud mom to 8 year old Ella the dancing queen!

When I graduated from high school my parents wanted me to get a real job so I took a hiatus from my passion of hunting and reselling vintage fashion to study dental hygiene. Working as a hygienist allowed me to meet many amazing colleagues and clients but I just knew it wasn’t my calling.

All through school and a few years of working, I kept up with my obsession of buying, restoring, and selling thrifted fashion finds on Etsy and in my local area. My dream was always to quit my day job, and on January 1st 2019, I became a full-time Etsy seller. I’m now a premium seller with 1800 happy customers.

I can’t wait to help you find fun, thrifty fashion that has you saying, “can you believe I thrifted this?”

Edith Head, famous Hollywood costumier, once famously said, “Some people need sequins, others don’t.”

You and your shopping besties love sequins and red lipstick as much as you freak out when you find the perfect pair of Levi’s.

Not only do you hit the thrift shops as a group, but you get ready for nights out together too. The best part about being the Glitzy Gang is when you need a piece to complete your look one of your peeps will gladly loan it to you. Lipstick, accessories, shoes… nothing if off limits for sharing with your queens.

You have no problem shopping alone if you must but being with your posse is way more fun… I mean who else will get it when you squeal, “it’s got pockets!”

The term retail therapy applies but let’s face it, it’s the joy of being together getting glammed up that feeds your souls.

“Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase.”

― Erma Bombeck

Slow and steady always wins — you’re consistent in the thrifting hunt and it’s paid off in the amazing style you’ve created over time.

You have a creative gift for layering, altering, and combining your treasures that would make Annie Hall jealous. Stevie Nicks has nothing on your unique fashion voice.

As much as you love to express your creativity with fashion, a big part of your motivation for shopping pre-loved is your awareness for leaving the planet a better place than how you found it.

You have a huge heart that wants to leave a positive impact with vintage sellers rather than a negative one on landfills and sweatshops.

“Fast fashion is not free. Someone somewhere is paying”

— Lucy Siegle
