Rediscovering thrift stores and a guide on DIY denim adjustments
In the heart of the city, the author recently stumbled upon a hidden gem - a secondhand store brimming with well-organized racks of age-appropriate clothes. It was here that she found an excellent grandpa-ish sweater, perfect for the current chilly weather, and the start of a new chapter in her wardrobe.
The author, who is turning 30 next week, has rekindled her love for secondhand shopping. This sustainable practice not only extends the life of garments but also reduces demand for new clothes, making it a more eco-friendly choice. Moreover, the thrill of finding unique items is an added bonus.
Her successful shopping trip a few weeks ago resulted in the purchase of the grandpa sweater, and she is glad she tried secondhand shopping again. However, she admits that she used to thrift around a lot after college but stopped due to losing focus and buying inexpensive items that didn't work for her life or style.
As she delves deeper into the world of secondhand shopping, the author has found that it comes with its own set of challenges. Finding a well-organized store and clothes that are well-made and will last a long time can be a rewarding experience, but it does require patience and a discerning eye.
The author is also interested in hearing about others' experiences with secondhand shopping. She is eager to learn from others' successes and mistakes, and to share her own journey in this newfound hobby.
Now, moving on to another topic close to the author's heart - jeans. Despite the rumors that skinny jeans are becoming less popular, the author is not ready to give them up just yet. She has discovered a way to give her jeans a unique twist with a messy half-roll.
To achieve this look, the author suggests making a big cuff, rolling the inseam up for a second cuff while holding the outseam down, and ensuring the hem of the jeans peeks out above the cuff. This messy half-roll adds a casual, effortless touch to any outfit.
The jeans the author is wearing in the picture are from Joe's Jeans (old), but similar options are available. For those who are conscious about their fashion choices, the author recommends checking out ethical and sustainable brands like Fortress of Inca, whose shoes she is wearing in the picture.
In conclusion, the author is embracing the challenges and benefits of secondhand shopping, and invites everyone to join her on this sustainable fashion journey. Whether it's finding unique grandpa sweaters or mastering the messy half-roll on jeans, the world of secondhand shopping is full of surprises and delights.
