Thrifting Tips (Part 2 of 3)

Part Two in our Thrifting Tips:

 Do NOT go into a thrift store hungry or tired. You’re going to need energy to get through it all.

You’re going to be trying on lots of clothing, and you’ll have to try most of it on over your clothes, as there probably won’t be a dressing room.

Wear something simple. A stretchy one-piece dress. Skinny jeans and a T-shirt. No weird necklines or giant sweaters.

Wait, though…what if you want to try on jeans? You’re in public! How are you gonna take off your pants in public? Here’s how: Go to the skirts section. Find the biggest, roomiest, elastic-waisted, floor-length skirt you can find, and put it on over your jeans. Then drop your jeans, grab the new pair you want to try on, and pull them on under the skirt. Then drop the skirt. Ta-da!!

 If you choose to thrift with friends, go with those who are cheerful, adventurous dressers, and not your size. That way, everyone can shop in the same sections at the same time, and there are no “I saw it first” awkward moments.
