Hey Babes! Jacklin here with another great way to save some money while adding stylish looks to your closet –
Thrifting!
Thrifting is a great way to find some amazing pieces for an absolute bargain! Some of my favorite local thrift spots are Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads Trading Co., and Uptown Cheapskate. In addition to finding some killer deals, second-hand clothing stores are also a great option for getting rid of your unwanted items! Most of these stores offer higher store-credit versus cash back for the items you’d like to sell, so it’s a great incentive to swap our your old duds for something new!
Let’s Go Vintage!
Okay, I know some of you are probably rolling your eyes and thinking, “seriously? Bellbottoms and MC Hammer pants?”. Well… while it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I’m a sucker for old school vintage styles, (especially bellbottoms, too cute!), and thrift stores are the best place to find unique vintage pieces that you wouldn’t be able to nab otherwise. From vintage lace to funky Coogi sweaters, there’s something fun for everyone’s style.
Can’t Get Enough of Those Biker Tee’s
I’m sure that you’re all aware of just how popular vintage tee’s have become – especially Harley Davidson tee’s. Brands like LF and 12thTribe are seriously capitalizing on the immense popularity and are charging insane amounts for these simple tees – upwards of $100! Instead of shelling out all your hard earned cash to those brands, you can go and find them on your own for a fraction of the price. I snagged a Harley tee at Uptown Cheapskate for just $10 that I cut into a super cute crop (identical to one being sold on 12thTribe for $82!).
& If You Wanna Get Fancy… Luxury Thrifting
ThredUp, Tradesy, and TheRealReal are just a few of the many companies offering higher-end second-hand apparel on the market. Available both in-store and online, these companies offer clothing from a wide array of brands, ranging from fast fashion to designer. You can find items from Zara, Banana Republic, Chanel, and even Lanvin. So if you’re looking for designer, these are the sites to get them all at a crazy good deal! Plus they’re all verified, authentic, quality designer pieces.
