Kathleen from A Cub of Tea
Hi loves, its Kathleen here from "A Cub of Tea" filling in for the fabulous Sydney! I'm super excited to be able to guest post here on "The Daybook", and share with you one of my most favorite hobbies. I'll admit it for a long time I never understood thrifting, but let me tell you my friends it's fun, economical, and even better when you find your size. My sweet husband and I ventured out this weekend with the hopes to score some finds. We first stopped at the Junior League Thrift Store in Roslyn. It was my first visit and I can't wait to go back! It was filled with a ton of goodies! I walked out with a brand new spring bag, a leather belt and the prettiest little skirt, all for eighteen bucks! We were looking forward to dropping in on another shop in the area but unfortunately we lost track of time and it had closed before we arrived. It's okay though, we instead opted for strawberry ice cream and root beers.
Some secret suggestions for a sweet thrifting experience:
1. Patience: don't get discouraged if you aren't finding items quickly
2. Alert eyes (seek out the good stuff)
3. Keep an open mind: Look at a piece not for what it is, but for what it could be.
4. Do your research: Many thrift shops donate their profits to good causes, which ultimately means your money will go to needy organizations and charities. It's a win win situation!
5. Be selective: Just because your buying second hand doesn't mean you should be filling your closets with poor quality clothes.
6. Scrutinize: Before you purchase any item check for stains, rips, holes, cracks, chips, and broken zippers. It will save you from disappointment when you get home.
