Styled: Jasmine

So I just went thrifting with my client Jasmine... And I went to thrift shops I was recommended to try and we scored on some great staples & some fun items for her! Alot, Alot of tops! Which is great! Tops are an easy way to transform your wardrobe! The places we went, both had brand name items scattered throughout! Like: Splendid, Nieman Marcus, Anthropologie Brands, Velvet, Michael Stars, Eileen Fisher, D&G, you name it, they had it! Those place are now on my list of thrift stores to go to! and to style clients there aswell! (I even found some things too.) Plus the day we went, it just happened to be, if you had a pink tag, it was a dollar! Hallelujah!

Then after we went thrifting that day we ended the day at Anthropogie, J.crew & Madewell... What a shame, okay not really! ; ) I made another girl fall in love with Madewell! I'll just make a list of how many now ; )

 

Jasmine's reason for going was she wanted new clothes, She had never been thrifting and we both had free time to go! In May, I'll be taking her shopping to Northpark in Dallas.

 

 

So Jasmine got 11 tops & sweaters and one pair of jeans, Plus a vintage train case (for storing nailpolishes in) for, are you ready for this? $77.94! Approximately, that's $6.49 each piece! Not too shabby! You can't really go into a store and come out with clothes that are only that minimal of a price! and that you know there aren't too many girls walking around in the same exact tops! It's fabulous! And all of the clothes were taken care of really well!

Tips & tricks: Thrifting

Some tips and tricks when Thrifting:

1. Avoid the bathroom at all times! I'm sorry but when you walk into a thrift store and it already smells, I can't imagine how good the bathrooms could be! I try and go somewhere beforehand or after. NEVER do I go at the thrift store.

2. If you carry a nice purse with you, aka a coach or an LV , You probably shouldn't, before you leave home, switch out your purse, so it's not obvious that you have money to spend! I haven't had this happen to me, but 1. Patrons that are shopping like you will look at your purse like a piece of meat... or the employees will jack up the prices of the things you want to buy! So, just switch out your purse! It helps!

3. Always carry a bottle of hand sanitizer with you. Because it's just handy & useful, I never leave the house with out it! Or if I do, I stop at the store & buy one.

4. If trying on shoes, wear socks until you can disinfect them!
 Kinda like the airport security, my feet will not touch the airport floor without socks! I don't know what nasty feet have touched those shoes! And ain't nobody got time for that!

5. Keep yourself satiated. Go out to eat or have a energy bar in hand! Or chocolate works too! also coffee, water, smoothie, anything is better than nothing! We don't want you do be hangry when thrifting! Doesn't call for a good thrifting experience!

6. Never be ashamed to ask for a discount! It always helps!

7. Take a friend! The judgement helps! and the company is usually enjoyable! unless they are perpetual Debbie Downers!

8. If you intend to try on pants, please wear underwear! I was shopping with a friend once, and she informed be she doesn't underwear with jeans, so that day she was trying on pants from the thrift store, I was definitely repulsed by that! I for one, do not want my down south to touch anything that I know hasn't been properly washed by me, in my washer! Ain't going there!

9. Wear a bra, if trying on tops & dresses, you won't get an accurate fit, if you do not have a foundation for it!

10. Have fun! It's an enjoyable sport! You can find incredible things when you actually take the time and look! 😊

If I think of anything else I 'll be sure to keep you posted! ; ) -Ryn
