Update Your Wardrobe Using Secondhand Options...
In today's society, we want the newest and greatest thing on the market and will pay a pretty penny for it. Did you know that you could find the same or similar item secondhand? Buying thrifted and secondhand has been making waves with millennials and shows no signs of slowing down. Today's younger generation are very earth friendly and into more sustainable practices. Therefore, a lot of retailers are recognizing this shift and are rearranging their efforts. They now incorporate at least an aspect of sustainable or upcycled clothing in their stores for customer retention. Just this morning, I saw an ad for GAP and they now have an upcycled puffer jacket made from recycled plastic bottles... repurpose/reuse/recycle.

Trendy Wedges for Women
Wedges or wedge shoes are the most reliable footwear for women. You can feel the difference once you try any of the gorgeous pair of wedges with your bare feet. A wedge-shaped heel provides more space for balance when walking. Wedges go well with summer dresses (particularly casual dresses). You can also dress up any pair of wedges with denim or trousers. It is undoubtedly the most comfortable yet trendy footwear for women (of all age groups).

Thrift Shopping
I was once as dubious towards thrifting as you probably are. My first thought when walking past a local St. Vinnies was “Why would I go and buy secondhand clothes when I could just buy cheap new ones?” And for years I had never even step foot into a thrift store because of misconceptions I had. The clothes in here are dirty, they are only for the elderly, I can just get things from K-Mart were common excuses that I made when thinking about thrifting. But what I found from finally putting my inhibitions behind me is that thrifting is so much more than buying clothes. It’s about helping people out, it’s about reusing clothes to stop waste, it’s about finding something new that you never would have thought you could like. Thrifting just has such a different energy in today’s throwaway society.

Earthly Designs
For so long I have wanted to be a designer, creating pieces that I can fit into properly. Being taller and curvier, I have always found an issue with how my clothes fit, well, and an issue with being able to go shopping with confidence that I’d find the perfect dress for this event, or the perfect top that won’t shrink after I wash lol! Being inspired by people like Dapper Dan, I knew there was a huge need for me to get creative. My very first project, I made a fur coat to wear for my birthday. I saw a picture of Rihanna with a Blush pink suit and fur to match that inspired me, but while searching online, there were no shops that sold anything close to that. That year, I settled for a pink jumpsuit, but I was determined to make the fur coat. With the help of YouTube, my very first fur coat was created.

Thrift like a Boss
I love a good bargain, and why pay retail prices, especially when the fashion industry changes so quickly. What can be in fashion today can be out of style tomorrow. Thrift Stores are a great place to find gently used clothes plus unusual and collectible items at a great price. I have never been one to pay for name brand products, unless of course there is a need and if there is true quality attached to the item. Now don't get me wrong, I love nice things. I love silk, I love lace, I love spandex. Oh, do I love my spandex! But most of all, I love a bargain, and if I can find something I like for a ridiculously low price, then I don't mind if it's secondhand or gently used or vintage.

And, you want to look cool while doing it, of course.
