Jessica here, and I want to inform you that I did not experience the full bliss of thrifting until a grad school roommate introduced me to something I didn’t even know had a skill + craft behind it. Alexis would walk into a Salvation Army on half-off Wednesdays or a Grab Bag Sale at Plato’s Closet and walk out with a bag of branded clothes that still had their original tags, spending barely anything.

I don’t know about you, but it’s rare to find a few great gems at one place that are purchase-worthy, and getting them at a discount with their original tags still on seems like a win to me.
I have friends who will dig through every thrift store within a 60-mile radius to discover that great deal and perfect outfit, but I don’t have that much interest or the stamina for that.
