This year I thought I would pepper the blog with some fun National Weeks throughout the year.
This week we are celebrating National Secondhand Wardrobe Week. A week dedicated to scouting local thrift shops for bargains and vintage clothing. It's time to put those skills to use, search the shops and come home with a new wardrobe!
Need some tips for thrifting:
Not all thrift stores are the same. You will have to do a little leg work, check out stores and figure out which have the best clothes.
Some stores sell top quality vintage clothes from another era.
Looking for something current? Major labels have been known to donate last year's styles or blemished items.
Best of all, when you thrift your clothes, you are doing good for the environment and giving new life to those clothes.
How to observe Secondhand Wardrobe Week?
Start the week off by clearing out your current wardrobe. Gather up the items in your closet that you are not wearing and donate them to a second hand store.
Make a list of items that you would like to add to your wardrobe.
Scout out the secondhand (thrift) stores in your area.
Frequent the stores, as merchandise is donated daily.
Use #SecondhandWardrobeWeek when posting on social media.
How will you observe this week?
