I went thrift shopping today because I can and I found cute stuff at the Goodwill!
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
The other two stores I went to were not great; one was just rude and the other was nice but with small selection and Christian radio blasting
give me flowers
yay goodwill!
Lindsard
Ugh, the worst.
Lindsard
Glad you found some cute stuff!
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
Lindsard : Yeah. The guy at the counter was very nice and there wasn't like... "Jesus loves you!!" junk everywhere, so it was okay. I just don't need to hear some band going on about how you should surrender to the lord
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
But yes! I'm a fan of all the cute things I found too. I found even more than I bought but I had to limit my budget lol
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
cute blouses though. Pics later maybe, I wanna show Ly first
LadyRogue
Hooray for cute things. Little leery with you about the Christian radio. >>;
Lindsard
Nothing drives me out of a store faster than Christian music or paraphernalia everywhere. Well, maybe if it was on fire, but I have yet to experience that.

I'm glad you found some nice things!

Yeaaah I'm the first to admit that I'm maybe more leery than I should be about Christian stuff being all over, but also I don't know if I should be or not cause theres Certain Attitudes that often (but not always!) come with being hyper into the bible
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
I tend to avoid Jesus fandom like I did Homestuck fandom...
Lindsard
I think there's nothing wrong with being leery all things considered.
LadyRogue
^^^^
Lindsard
Homestucks at least aren't trying to legislate their shit all over everyone else's rights and bodies.
Lindsard
And don't typically get violent when told no.

That is not true across the board..
Lindsard
I'm glad you found a store that better suited.
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
I also followed a thrift shopper YouTube's tips and it was a much better experience overall generally.
Lindsard
Very cool!
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
- bring water and a snack
- only look at sections you're interested in
- look at everything in that section, not just your size, cause they're not careful about organizing
- Check the return rack. Stuff there was chosen by somebody so it might be cool
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
- grab everything you might wanna try on and then look it over again before going into the fitting rooms
- put things back. Either on the return rack or where they go; don't make the store folks hate you
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
Also about sizes, I'm usually an XL but I found stuff that was 2x and too small and stuff in L that was my size
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
brands, pre wearing, washing, etc all change the fit of a garment so you have a wider range to look at while thrifting than with new clothes
Lindsard
That's all great advice!
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
Ye. I wish I had a thrifting friend who'd do like three or four stores with me in a day, lol. It's too much for Ly, which is fair.
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
I'm just a crazy person who likes digging for treasure
Lindsard
I like it when there are places with good options. The ones around here are awful wastes of time.
Lindsard
Savannah had some good ones.
Becky
i ewish we were close. I love thrifting, husband gets overwhelmed/tired
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
Becky : quick, come 3k miles to go thrift shopping with me lol
Becky
i mean if I'm going 3K miles, that's a better incentive than many!
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
in all seriousness that makes me wish I could be one of those people who face time shops with friends.
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
but also not because those people are often obnoxious...
๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฏ ๐“ผ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ๐“ฎ๐“น
Becky : If you ever do come out here, we will go a-thriftin
