Statement Pieces vs. Basics

I typically shop for my basic pieces (i.e. a white tank top) at popular, mainstream places or more high-end stores. Think of shops you could find at your local major shopping mall/center. I buy these pieces there because they are good quality and worth the investment. 

I never shop for “statement” pieces at these stores; I buy these on Depop or I thrift them second-hand. This way, you can guarantee no one else will have the same piece as you and you can save money. This adds diversity and uniqueness to your closet that will set it apart from others.

*Shopping second-hand is the most sustainable choice for the environment.

The best #ThriftTip I could ever give anyone when shopping for clothing is....Get yourself a seamstress! There are certain pieces you can find that are just worth that extra expense. #frenchmannequin #thrift #foodforthought #thrifting #howto #vintage

One of my fav thrited tops because the back is so fun! 

It’s great to throw this one on when I don’t have time to make an effort and I always know it looks better than how I feel!

Hey Those Tricks readers... I've been helping friends & fam with thrifty shopping for a few years now. Either at Thrift Stores, places like Half of Half or the like. It usually goes : I pull from the floor and take them things to try on. Then confer on anything that they are on the fence about. And/or give tips & feedback the entire time they try things on. Is this a service anyone would want to pay a little something for? Either locally in the DFW area or, if you have cash to burn, in your local area? Help with & learning how to shop for stylin' deals? Let me know. It's fun. And I've gotten really good at pulling for specific styles & fits for men + women. Just a thought... -stephanie

"It was so overwhelming when I walked in, I wanted to walk right out..." "I don't even know where to start..." "I have no idea how to pick what to try on..." "How do I know if it's a good piece or worth the price?..." Shhhhh Shhhhh, Stephanie is here.
