I love to thrift when I have the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58648 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:31:45 +0000 susan 58648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip! I will certainly do that the next time I'm at TJ or Marshalls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58646 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 15:27:23 +0000 hanna 58646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks everyone, i'll post pics soon! it was especially such an awesome trip because it's so rare to find things in my size. </p> <p>brianna, the places i go don't have dressing rooms, so the mirror tip is especially important - i can't believe i never thought of it sooner! and especially since there are so few mirrors that people will bring things to other sections to find a free mirror and then leave them there. thrift shopping people really have to be intrepid explorers in their own right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58634 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 14:34:32 +0000 shiny 58634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tip! I instinctively do this at places like TJ Maxx - especially around the coat and blazer area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58570 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 03:36:26 +0000 Antje 58570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this sounds wonderful! Can't wait to see your goodies, Hanna! Thanks for sharing - I for one have not tuned into this so it's a great tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58568 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 02:59:38 +0000 sinead 58568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it great when you stumble on more than one treasure- and it sounds like you really found a bunch. Please please post pictures. I'm doing major thrifting right now and seeing the prints you consider stylish would help me as I'm not always certain what's in/out as far as prints. But I'm learning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58558 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 01:59:09 +0000 Ariadne 58558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, awesome! Will you post us some pics of your finds? I always check the mirrors and the racks of stuff waiting to be re-hung. Check the racks by the changerooms, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58549 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:36:04 +0000 Lee Hovey 58549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great trip!<br /> I have never actually found anything worth my money at the goodwill near me (sad face) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tip-for-those-who-thrift#post-58537 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 23:41:33 +0000 hanna 58537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this may be one of those things the more experienced among you will say DUH at (what can i say, sometimes i can be quite slow ;)), but my last couple of thrifting sprees have taught me one thing: CHECK THE MIRRORS.</p> <p>if you go to a salvation army or goodwill, there's always a mirror at the end of every couple of aisles or so, since there are no changing rooms. i've found that the racks around those mirrors can be loaded with treasures left there after people have tried them on. case in point: today, buried behind a bunch of polyester and faux fur coats right by the mirror, i found the stash some stylish somebody had looked at and discarded - a stash that included ann taylor and loft, banana republic, and j crew. and all in my size! this girl just about died and went to heaven.</p> <p>long story short, i left with two skirts, one from ATL and one from BR, a BEAUTIFUL jcrew dress, all from this stash, all springy prints in lovely bright colors. who knew?! i also got a new spring coat to replace a torn one, an the cream cardigan i have been looking for and finally found!</p> <p>in summation: CHECK THE MIRRORS. best. trip. ever. </p>
