My Thrifting Tips for the Beginner Thrifter

Today is #nationalthriftshopday ! While I have greatly reduced my trips to my favorite outlets, I am still celebrating the new way I have come to shop for these past 2 years.
A favorite #thriftedfind - scored this beautiful red blouse for $2 at my favorite outlet - it looked super formal at first but I dressed it down with a pair of mom jeans (thrifted too). I loved the vibrant color, the structured shoulders, the wrap style and the rose on the side. It looks fabulous and helps you achieve a casual and romantic vibe effortlessly.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I mainly post thrifted outfit inspiration and how I save money on fashion and style. Yes, I am about saving those coins while still remaining stylish. If this is something you’d like, follow me @lea_living_life .
Getting into thrifting is all about having an open mind, being patient with a sense of adventure while also staying focused. My Virgo self LOVES this type of activities as I like nothing more than to methodically and religiously inspect every items in the thrift outlet and seeing how I can make a new dress or blazer work in my current wardrobe. HOWEVER, to keep the scavenger hunt fun, I ALWAYS keep in mind a few principles and tips before jumping in so I do not get overwhelmed. Today, I am sharing this THRIFTING CHEAT SHEET where I have compiled a few tips to rely on for thrifting trips.
