Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.
I have lots of vintage clothes.
I shop at thrift stores and consignment shoppes. I wear my clothes as is, and maybe get them dry cleaned whenever possible.
I just love vintage. I have far too many vintage dresses.
New York vintage is too expensive!
I didn't know anything about fashion. You would see me in the biggest sweater with jeans or the tightest elastic pants. Not nice clothes. My mom took me a lot to consignment stores when I was younger, and I never really got to go to fancy high-class stores, so... vintage was like a step up.
I shop at thrift shops probably five times a week.
She accused me of wearing pants from the salvation army." "Rose, your pants ARE from the salvation army." "That's SO not the point!
If I have an hour in a city, I go to vintage stores first because it's so much cooler to find a piece that is unique. I love the thought of some girl having worn it before and living her life in it.
Gars auld claes look amaist as weel's the new.
Basically, I always go to vintage shops rather than going shopping for new clothes.
Florida is an awesome place to find sweaters. People buy a really nice sweater for their trips up north, then they just keep it in the closet forever, so you're finding super nice sweaters down here at the Salvation Army. It's hard to say no sometimes.
What I always loved about vintage clothes is that you let the woman who wore it before you live on in some way.
I was the kid at school who wore clothes from charity shops.
When in doubt, I always go vintage! Get a ruffled dress and throw a t-shirt over it.
I find it interesting where grunge originated from and then where it was taken, which was high fashion. My dad was so poor that they kept going to Goodwill to get donated ripped jeans. It wasn't a fashion decision; it was an 'I don't have any money, I have no other choice' type of decision.
I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels.
We were so poor. Every item of clothing came from a thrift store.
Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.
I never pass up the chance to shop at vintage stores.
If you've ever left a bag of clothes outside the Salvation Army or given to a local church drive, chances are that you've dressed an African.
I started dressing vintage when I was a teenager because I didn't have money for designer clothes.
I love vintage shopping, I think it's really fun. And I love the feeling of finding the most amazing piece for less.
Growing up, we didn't have any money - we shopped where you picked your shoes out of a bin. When I was little, I said, 'When I grow up, I'm going to have nice shoes.'
I don't do the vintage thing so much, just because it's not me. There are some vintage designers I'll buy things from, but mostly not.
