Am I getting old or does thrifting not feel so cool anymore. I used to love wearing clothing that was obviously not made for me- someone’s dad’s old bowling shirt, old community sports teams jerseys, hats for events I never went to, military boots etc.. But now when I wear something for a specific activity or profession that I don’t have because I found it for 7$ at a thrift store I feel like such a poser!
Maybe it’s because thrifting has become equivalent to shopping, and the more eccentric your thrift find the more clout you have, as opposed to the thrift store as a place you can find good clothes for cheap. When someone wears specialty items that aren’t meant for them it’s really obvious that they’re VINTAGE and THRIFTED.
