I never find much in Goodwill, anyway. I think there's a mentality on the part of some people that things shouldn't go to waste and too many things that should be thrown away are gifted to Goodwill. Goodwill is sometimes the bitter end.
I like church thrift stores. People may be a little embarrassed to bring over things in sad condition. Although, if the eyesight of both the donor and the volunteers is not good, then you do end up having to be very careful about spotting moth damage. Though the Goodwill's very brightly lit and the same is true there.
I'm not looking for deals on current in-store branded merchandise. I'm more interested in good quality older clothes that I can tweak or put together in just such a way as to participate in trends I like. I want to individualize things for me.
Also, clothes like AllSaints are not my style because I don't want anyone squinting to try to figure out why my sweater is buttoned "wrong." I want all my pieces of clothing to be instantly recognizable to the man in the street and described by one word or two: jacket, shirt, big flowers. The creativity comes from the way I put things together.
