THRIFT TIPS Keep an open mind
by Ariann Holden and Molly Bienstock
Don’t be scared of the second-hand stereotypes. Always keep an open mind. Thrifting is a one of kind experience while trying to find one of a kind pieces. If you see something and don’t necessarily like it at first, try it on, pair it with other pieces, but most of all BE FUN about it.
Go for funky prints
Prints are in right now! Bright and colorful are even better! Pairing something extremely funky with all black can really make an outfit. Mixing vintage prints with a modern feel is always an innovative way to rock a new style.
Pair your new thrift purchases with other bought items
You don’t always have to just shop at a thrift store. Thrifting is about finding amazing pieces and wearing them with other pieces of clothing you have bought in the past. It only takes one thing to change a whole entire outfit!

I know, we all see shoulder pads and we run in the opposite direction as fast as we can. BUT, shoulder pads can be easily avoidable if you don’t choose to go 80’s chic. So you have two options…Cut them out! Some of the best jackets or sweaters have shoulder pads and if you don’t like them, cut them out or you can be a boss and rock em’.
