please share your knowledge 🙏 how do you find your clothes?? i saw you posts on the Sapphic community, and i LOVED your fits
omg!! so glad you like it them <333
short answer: I go thrifting a lot
long answer (because I've decided I love you and you deserve the details): thrifting-and vintage thrifting especially- is a science. large thrift chains can be great but are more likely to be oversaturated with shitty fast fashion that someone threw out after the trend past and is gonna fall apart if you sneeze in it's general direction... which doesn't mean you won't find anything you just have to be more careful.
smaller private thrift store (look for words like 'vintage' and 'boutique') are my favorites. these stores are more likely to be more carefully curated by the owner, meaning the sifting has already been done for you! that's not to say there won't be any ff- I can still remember a time I was at one of my favorite little boutiques and had a genuinely visceral reaction to a shien tag.
another one of my favorites, if you can find them in your area, are flea markets. there's one that pops up at the mall where I live once a month and it's absolutely fantastic. I've gotten quite a lot of my favorite pieces there. these are great because they're full of variety and are personally curated.
there are also online options such as Depop and Facebook Marketplace these and great for when you can'tor jusy dont feel like) leaving the house for whatever reason. although they have the usual thrifting drawbacks along with those typical of online shopping.
definitely feel free to ask again if you have any more questions, and I'm open to dms if you just wanna chat!
