Ok, quick caveat before we start, I am still pretty new to the thrifting game and I still buy a majority of my clothes new, but I’m working on making some changes! I’ve been thinking about the whole fast fashion movement and I recently saw an episode of Hasan Minhaj’s Patriot Act that was on this topic and crazy interesting.

As I said, I am pretty new to the thrift game but have found two fabulous things already, including this Ralph Lauren trench coat. The other thing you and I both can’t see until Christmas because my mom wrapped it. But I love the idea of buying really good quality basics thrifted or fun statement pieces that you might not be willing to spend as much money on. There is a thrift store not far from my house and at first it feels so overwhelming, but I’m finding that the trick is just to be patient and always look at the back. I have found some of the most amazing pieces hidden behind other bulkier items.

The other way I’m trying to reduce my wasted clothing footprint is selling my clothes on sites like poshmark and eBay. I’ve had so much fun doing this as a lot of my clothes are still in good shape, they just don’t fit or aren’t my style anymore. It is completely normal to change shapes and styles and I love being able to send these clothes to another fabulous home.

So what do you do with your old clothes and do you thrift?
