It\u2019s very easy to walk into any store and get overwhelmed, but a thrift store gives many shoppers a bit more anxiety. Not just because it\u2019s all used clothing\u2026 mainly because it\u2019s all different. At least in your generic run of the mill store the clothes are on display in bulk with multiple different sizes to be chosen. See where that extra notch of anxiety would come into play? Not only do you have to shift through hundreds of randomized items, you also have to have your fingers crossed that when you find that perfect item, it is, well, in your size. <\/p>\n

There have been many, many encounters where I found the most perfect addition to my wardrobe, and when I ventured to the dressing room, it was just way too big. Below are some simple tips for the most stress free way to thrift shop.<\/p>\n

1.\tHave enough time. No one can run into a thrift shop for only a brief visit. There is just no way that you\u2019d have enough time to even look through 1\/3 of the items.<\/p>\n

2.\tSearch for thrift stores in urban, lively areas, because chances are that\u2019s where the best stock is due to the variety in population.<\/p>\n

3.\tIt\u2019s normally better to shop on your own at thrift stores. A problem I tend to find when venturing into stores with my friends is that considering they are my friends, we have similar tastes and style. Therefore, we normally are attracted to the same items, and that\u2019s just never fun!<\/p>\n

4.\tMost importantly, don\u2019t expect anything! When you go into a thrift store with something specific in mind, it\u2019ll never be found! You must stay open minded and just look through the items. I promise the perfect item will find you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
