#9 Things you may not know about me
Jan. 7th, 2025 07:53 pmI buy about 99% of my clothes at thrift stores! This is just what I wear like shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, ect. But I buy my other clothes like underwear new at an actual store. I just have more fun going through a thrift store looking through the racks than I do a department store. Plus the prices are ridiculous and some of the clothes are just not to my taste. The clothes at a thrift store all have a story behind them I think and as I go through the racks seeing what I can find it just gives me a sense of excitement and wonder.
When it comes to my clothes I also like to try to repair and fix what I have that has gotten a hole or a rip in it. Or just sew another button on it! If I can fix it and wear it a few more times or fix it again and still wear it rather than throw it away and have to buy new... I just don't see the point in doing the later. I have several jeans at work that already are sort of beat up (due to being a housekeeper and cleaning with bleach) so I've just been fixing those up and it's been working out just fine. I do want to learn how to fix socks if I am able to. That may be a useful skill I think.
How many of you guys go shopping at thrift stores?
