I wish I...I am so happy your shopping ban was over.<br />I wish I could do thrift stores, but I honestly don't have the patience or really the time. I did stumble across a totally cute and fun June Cleaver style dress at a thrift store that I bought right off the mannequin, but I haven't worked up the nerve to wear it quite yet.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534639424668879187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-52136477724143889802010-09-30T08:08:28.505-07:002010-09-30T08:08:28.505-07:00I am of two minds with thrifting.

For one, I spent most of high school, college and the lean years after college buying all my clothes in thrift stores and I think I'm just hesistant to go back to it. It's so much WORK. And, if I find something great, it's not my size. I do enjoy a good consignment store, though. Much less stressful.Amblushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765599544176134468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-24908267584648369662010-09-30T08:05:09.796-07:002010-09-30T08:05:09.796-07:00I think the time commitment with thrifting, with o...I think the time commitment with thrifting, with often no payoff, is what overwhelms me. As it is I work and have a kid and let's face it, shopping online is a godsend. But I'm really going to try, at least consignment for now. True thrifting may come eventually. I love reading everyone's tips!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06733104020381620860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-41566946546738502642010-09-30T07:59:29.866-07:002010-09-30T07:59:29.866-07:00Congratulations on making it through!Congratulations on making it through!Cynthiahttp://www.befabulousdaily.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-57213557344047507592010-09-30T07:56:01.601-07:002010-09-30T07:56:01.601-07:00I started shopping at thrift stores in college and...I started shopping at thrift stores in college and 15 years later I still buy most of my clothes there. The key is to go often. <br /><br />I am fortunate that I have a few good thrift shops on my route home from work so I can stop in every few weeks. <br /><br />Other than that, I shop only on the sale racks. It kills me to pay full price for anything.Daniellehttp://www.danielletodd.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-15652472249645046472010-09-30T07:47:32.254-07:002010-09-30T07:47:32.254-07:00Congrats on getting through September!
I just got ...Congrats on getting through September!<br />I just got into thrifting and I am officially obsessed! <br /><br />Goodwill has been the best so far. They're clean and have decent dressing rooms. They also have 1/2 off days of certain color tags too. I just got 2 pairs of super nice trousers (vintage Isaac Mizrahi & Ann Taylor for $5 total!)<br /><br />Don't expect to find something every time you go. It's more of a pop in when you think about it and get lucky kinda thing. There's tons of kids clothes too for $1!<br /><br />There are a few high end consignment shops in Richmond I'm hope to check out soon! Have fun hunting!Larahttp://www.mymilkglassheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145183089731808312.post-90947582282056812072010-09-30T06:19:42.190-07:002010-09-30T06:19:42.190-07:00I've never had much luck at thrifting (though ...I've never had much luck at thrifting (though I did find a great Ann Taylor skirt at Goodwill once for only $5!), but I generally have pretty good luck at consignment shops. I have a new one that I love -- my only rule is that I don't tell anyone who is my size about it. Only people who are bigger or smaller than me!
