"Eh, I don't like that sweater Mom, but I do love those slip-ons over there." Typical Sunday afternoon conversttion for my mom and I. Cute off-the-shoulder shirts, athletic pants, scarves and not to mention my favorite part, the purses is all I see. In the fitting room trying on the things i am interested in. I find that a shirt and some skinny jeans are adorable. Go to the check out and straight home to wash them and put them in my already full closet. Oh, how I love being a thrifter.
Shopping is a pretty nifty way to pass the time, I think so at least. When I think about a day out shopping Goodwill, St, Vincent de Paul in Plymouth, and Betheda come to mind. I love walking into the stores and jut taking in all of the bargains. When I can get a pair of Hollister jeans for six bucks I feel like I just got a steal. Going thrifting gives a little bit of a high. There is just something about the drive to find a new outfit and once you have accomplished finding the perfect ensembl you just have to wait to wear it out. I love seconhand stores much ,ore than the stupid department stored. Thrifting is way more benifical because there are no advertisments telling you wehere to go. Therefore, it is a huge chase nto get the cute stuff for cheap!
I prefer to shop at the most well-known secondhand store, Goodwill. I like how everything is set out at the Sheboygan Goodwill becasue I know exactly where to go if I want to look for a backpack or if I need blach dress pants asap. The ironic thing about how I grew to love thrifting is from having to go with my mom ever since I was little if i need new shoes or pants. I hated every second I was there. It was not until two years ago that I really started getting into thriting. I would also go to school with my new $3.99 tennis shoes and $4.99 purse. My friends would be like amazed at how I can find all this cool stuff. It is safe to say that I take them to Goodwill when we hang out. Goodwill is not only for clothes though. There is kitchenware, christmas decorations, electronics, and books. Overall, Goodwill is a really nice place to ge your necessites for home and clothing.
Call it a hobby, call it an obssession. I look forward to Sunday afternoons to go thrifting with my mom every week. I just love it! Looking back on when I was little and making such a big deal of how I did not wear all of the brand names and thing that I was being silly. Now, half of my wardrobe is consumed of secondhand clothes and I am proud of every single pience. With all that has been said Ibelieve that it is safe to say that I am a thrifter for life.
