Back when I was in college, I was a huge thift/consignment store junkie, and recently I have been really getting back into going to them and most recently have decided to put a ban on myself to buy only used pieces. I am doing this for a couple reasons, one is, vintage pieces ( which is mostly what I pick up) are better made for the most part. I find that one buys vintage/second hand it's better for the environment and if you buy it at a charity shop, you are donating money as well as getting cool clothes. The last reason is, I find that I can pick up high fashion pieces ( like Pucci, Missoni, Chloe, Chanel etc), for the price of a dress or a shirt from a store like Banana Republic.
I don't know how long I will do this, but I am wondering if anyone else has tried this...?
