I have been thrifting for what seems like a million years. Which means I’ve come across my fair share of clothing… some uglier than sin but made a good laugh and others the perfect addition to my wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even after all these years, there are still some pieces that stand out to me as some of my favorite items. Most, I still own and wear years later–unless they are too small, then they sit in a box in my closet until I can wear them again. No Shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a list of the best pieces I have ever found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A pair of Tilt Jeans-<\/strong> When I was in middle school, all of the girls were wearing a specific brand of jeans from PacSun called Tilt Jeans. I wanted a pair of these so freaking bad, but they were too expensive. One day I was thrifting at Goodwill with my grandma, and there they were. Brand new, with the tags, still attached and in my size. I was so happy I almost cried. I wore these jeans until they ripped in half. Literally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A vintage Anthropology Dress-<\/strong> I found this dress when I was just bumming around the Goodwill near my house in high school. I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. It didn’t fit that well in high school, so I never wore it but it didn’t matter to me. It lived in my closet for a couple of years until I tried it on one day, and it fit like a glove. I felt gorgeous. To this day, I still have this dress, the first dress I ever felt gorgeous in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the vintage jeans by Levi and Tommy Hilfiger- <\/strong>I went to a city-wide rummage sale in Jefferson with my grandma in high school and found all of the vintage Levi and Tommy Hilfiger jeans a girl could want. (This was when vintage high waist jeans were just barely coming back in style.) I grabbed all of the ones around my size and the women were so happy to “finally” get rid of their old jeans. I paid $2 for about 5 or 6 pairs of Levi and Tommy jeans. Yup. $2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even more vintage Levi Jeans-<\/strong> I was thrifting at Twice Is Nice one day and stumbled upon a lot of vintage Levi jeans. I was so excited because I, like most people, gained weight after high school. So I bought all of the pairs around my size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A suede L.L.Bean Coat-<\/strong> I have spoken about this one before, but I found a like-new L.L.Bean coat at Twice Is Nice for under $12. I loved it, but I have no idea what happened to it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been thrifting for what seems like a million years.
