thift store chic?

Hi! I’m a vintage dealer on Ebay, so I frequen thrift shops all the time.

Buy whatever looks good to you! And always remember the possibilities something has. A dress with a great print but frumpy cut can always be altered to fit better, or you can make something else from the fabric. Long dresses can be cut shorter if you’d like, etc. etc. Most thrift stores are good about putting only good quality items on the racks, but to be safe, always look out for big stains, rips, cigarette burns (esp. in polyester), etc. etc. Anything more than a couple bucks might not be worth the gamble if it’s ‘as is’ and full of heavy stains! Pair vintage items with new trendy accessories if you don’t want to look ‘dated’. Then you’ll be on the cutting edge! posted about 4 years ago
