You
might all be really tired of this song but I still absolutely love it. I
had to listen to it a few times to realize what it was actually about.

Although the vintage fashion movement now seems to have become oh so
hipster and far too mainstream, the movement was and still is a good
idea if you ask me. Being very new to the concept of thrift shopping,
the few times I have been out vintage bargain hunting, I've had an
absolute blast trying on ridiculous things, finding some amazing pieces
and even just talking to the store owners. Vintage fashion is an
extremely sustainable way to dress yourself since the clothing is
essentially being recycled. It means that the articles are given a few
extra years to live before they end up in a landfill and that you
purchase less mass-produced clothing that is utilizing valuable
resources; it's guilt-free shopping! Plus, I think that it is so much
cooler to wear pieces that are different and that you are positive have a
very interesting story associated with it, even if you don't know what
it is. Thrift shopping also means that you are supporting local small
businesses instead of large corporations. Pretty cool, right? I
definitely hope that this fad sticks around for another few minutes
before fading away for another decade.

Thrifting is great - particularly when you are younger and need to save a few dollars but still want to wear variety.
ReplyDeleteHowever, when I visited a few thrift stores in Palm Springs I couldn't find anything that would not take at least two of my paycheques. The clothes were amazing, though!
