Thrift-Therapy
My love of thrift shopping started in high school, going hand in hand with my growing passion for fashion and my shrinking bank account. I wasn’t the most extroverted kid in those years, but I like to think most of my personality came through my outfits. The world of fashion was so big, so broad; so many trends and styles and I wanted to try them all, and my part-time job as a dishwasher just wasn’t cutting it. Enter the world of the thrift store: all you need is a little patience, a good podcast to listen to, or your favourite Spotify mix and you’re good to go. Shopping at Value Village quickly became a weekly occurrence, and shortly after the Goodwill and Salvation Army were added to the list. Those stores will always remain close to my heart, being my first real introduction to the thrifting world. My favourite spots, however, became those you had to search a little bit harder for, hidden in the nooks and crannies of almost every city or town. The ones you might come across while walking the dog or recommended by a close friend, the discovery of which became almost as exciting as finding the items themselves.
