Secrets To Finding Thrift Store Fashion At Goodwill


Thrift Store fashion is all about finding unique items for less and feeling accomplished when you discover a great fashion find. Fashionistas love to scour the racks for designer tags and unique vintage clothing. The great thing about shopping for fashion at a thrift store is the variety of styles and seasons available all in one place. Read on to learn the secrets to finding thrift store fashion at Goodwill.

What are some fashion items that shoppers have scored at Goodwill?

Ask anyone who shops at Goodwill and they could go on and on about all the great finds they’ve uncovered. We’ve heard of shoppers finding designer handbags with the tags still on, and even a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes.

What should Goodwill shoppers look for?

Keep an eye out for quality brands that are normally more expensive when you buy them brand new. When you find them at Goodwill you are paying a quarter of the price for something that’s still in great condition and still has many more “wears” left.

Here are three tips to keep in mind the next time you’re shopping for fashion at Goodwill:  
  1. Don’t be afraid to try on things that might not be your size. Every brand has a different fit, and a large shirt could add a loose-fitted option to your wardrobe.
  2. Go in with a plan. What are you on the hunt for? A good jean jacket or a summery dress? You may find it or you may not, but at least have a few ideas in mind.
  3. Don’t always go looking for designer or high-end brands. Keep an open mind and look for styles that stand out to you. Look more at the quality than the brand.
From denim-on-denim to monochromatic or summery florals, there are so many great fashion trends just waiting to be discovered at Goodwill. You never know what you might find. If you are looking to restock your home or revamp your closet on a budget, thrift stores in Panama City Beach, FL are a great alternative to traditional retail.

    When I was a kid, I always kicked off a new school year by revamping my wardrobe. Afterward, I always went shopping for new back-to-school outfits with my mom. Except, these outfits weren’t really new — they were someone else’s unwanted clothes. I love shopping in thrift stores.

What Does Sustainable Fashion Really Mean?

Sustainable fashion is a hot topic right now. Not just because the   eco-friendly materials   used are much better for the planet, but because that tends to go hand-in-hand with   better treatment of people making the clothes , too. Not to mention better treatment of animals. But what does sustainable fashion really mean? What Is the Definition of Sustainable Fashion? At its most basic, the word “sustainable” means something can be maintained at its current rate or level. It can be applied to business: Can a company keep going while earning the same amount of money? It can be applied to the way you’re living your life. You’ve probably been admonished at least once by a well-meaning friend about your packed schedule, poor sleeping habits, or workload. “You just can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.”  The same could be said for how we’re treating the planet, and how we make our fashion. We can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.  We’re pullin...

The collapse brought the working conditions in ‘fast fashion’ factories to the attention of the global media. The wages and working conditions for the people making our clothes are some of the biggest motivating factors to shop more ethically. However, another important ethical issue we need to consider is the environmental impact of our garments. We need to consider our carbon footprint. Contributors to the Fashion Carbon Footprint When we think about our carbon footprint we often think about cars, the air miles we clock up, and our household recycling. But what we choose to wear is one of the biggest impact factors on the environment and the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. Fashion is complicated.
