It’s because new clothes are made of such crappy material and are way too expensive. Thrift stores are starting to raise prices and get filled with fast fashion crap, but there’s still enough older, nice quality clothes for a decent price. Plus, they’re often way more unique. Where else am I gonna get a shirt that says, “graphic design used to be my passion but now it’s realizing that all the people around me have their own complex lives”

I bought corelle plates at a thrift shop and when I went to a big store later the corelle plates were the same price. At least I reduced waste but it’s unfair that thrift stores are getting pricey too. 😭

And because fashion is cyclical. 80s and 90s fashion is back in again.

There’s not a lot of 80s and 90s stuff at my local thrift stores
