Must-know clothing hacks to protect your threads, save closet space and up your style game.
Thrift Meisters!
Technology has changed how we purchase groceries, buy gifts, even how we cop new threads. Along with this surge has come a major drift to people mainly doing online thrift shopping. My standpoint is simple. The best thrifting is done person to person or store to customer. If you live in a city as do I then in person thrifting is at your fingertips. For those of you in more isolated areas you may find a decent number of in person steals through garage sales or local farmers market. Now even though I stand mostly opposed to online thrifting you can find the items you want online. I thrift more closely to antique’s road show, meaning that I never really know what I am looking for until I find it. Fashion thrifting is more magical that way. Also the people running these online site’s set their prices as if they have all studied fashion, owning every Vogue magazine since their founding 128 years ago. Meaning they know what brands are trending, vintage, and even what looks are in, while the older woman that prices tags at Value Village will simply sell that mildly scuffed Luis Vition Bag for 12.99. This is the magnitude of finds you see. The one area of online thrifting I see no harm in is electronics, but even with that I go refurbished because you can get a warrantee for that. All that I am saying is a little homework goes a long way but running into a thrift store and catching an insane steal is like a shot of adrenaline. Join me as I break down how I come across crazy finds, not far from where I live.

How to Get to Thrifting Level: Mastery
I was introduced to thrifting when I moved to the city, and like most other newly found hobbies in my life, I became incredibly focused on the best ways to achieve the greatest results. Somehow this led me to such fantastic luck in finding pieces that were not only in my size, but usually of good quality! Thrifting was part of my regular routine, it was a great way to get clothes that suited me while still staying in my budgeting abilities as I was a student when I started. I began to realize the rarity of these items to their locations, and how many limitations prevented people from shopping at thrift stores, be it a lack of accessibility, or time constraints. It was for these reasons that I started my own online thrifting business. But I’m not one to keep all the thrifting secrets to myself, so if you are excited by the prospect of thrifting your wardrobe and creating an aesthetic that is uniquely you, more sustainable than fast fashion outlets, and more financially accessible, here are some things I’ve learned.

The Thrifted Jacket of Dreams
We all have that one item of clothing we always reach for regardless of the occasion. It could be a pair of jeans that seem to have been sewn just for your body; or that pair of shoes that just go with anything; or a trusty shirt that you nailed all of your most important interviews in. It’s like a very special and close relationship it puts you at ease, complements you, supports you in any decision you would take that day. Just like cartoon characters are always drawn in the same outfit, you would be dawn wearing this item. It is the red shorts for Mickey Mouse, the white shirt for Homer Simpson, the sparkly red dress for Jessica Rabbit. The garment is part of the character.

Buy to Dye
I have a business card with the name, Dyeing Heidi, on it. That’s me, or it was, back when I dyed on a daily basis. I thought it was funny to tell people that I was going to dye in the upcoming days. Today, it seems a little morbid. As time goes by, I find that my life overlaps more and more with those who experience dying in the true sense, so who am I to make light of death?
