You might be a thrifter if...

1. You use the word thrift as every part of speech.


adj: this shirt was thrifted.
noun: I'm a thrifter.
verb: I thrifted this shirt. 


The thrifty thrifter thrifted a purse in a thrift shop. 


2. You wear shirts as skirts and skirts as shirts. 


3. You cross dress. This can be with a lover, or often with members of your own family. Scenario is usually one sided, you wear their clothes but they don't wear yours. Also, a covert activity where clothes sneak in and out of their closet.


4. You thrift while on vacation. It is a must-do activity like collecting sea shells.


5. Diamonds scissors are a girls best friend.


6. Your motto: The older the woman, the flyer the wardrobe. 


7. The thought of wearing another's vintage bathing suit or leotard doesn't disgust you, it Thrills you.


8. Retail now gives you the "heebie jeebies."


9. You think pleats are neat, plaid is rad, and polyester is not bad. 


10. You wear tees of concerts you've never been to, schools you never heard of, places you've never been, and teams you could care less about. 



Aww complete vacation thrifting bliss. Take a pic of me so I can blog it please.

Are you a thrifter? Yes, I thought so,

  1. hahah! this is so true!! I so would love to thrift during vacation just because it would be interesting to check out the different shops and what they have to offer since I'm so used to the thrift shops in home and around my university. And I totally agree about retail...ick. Just yesterday I was at GUESS because my aunt wanted me to spend the rest of her gift certificate and all I could say was "ick". All I got was two pairs of jeans. Nothing special...but good quality, right? :)

  16. Nice outfit I love the skirt. I think number 7 is most important. Some people recoil in horror at the thought of buying certain second hand things whereas my philosophy is if it's washed on a high temperature, who cares?

  27. I adore this post! I am a total thrifter. I enjoy the thrill of finding that unique item that no one else has. Fitting in was all the rage in school but now I don't want to fit in. I want to create my own path and thrifting allows me to do just that.

  31. Some of these are too gender specific, some of them apply, some of them do not. I don't actually use thrift in my vocabulary, although I do visit thrift stores fairly regularly.

    Also polyester is terrible. Just say no to unnatural fabrics. That's one of the wonderful things about thrift and vintage stores. You can find stuff made really well of natural fibers.
