What do you love about vintage?
Shopping for vintage is such a treasure hunt and I love that! You never really know what you will find.
What is the best item you have ever come across when you have been vintage/thrift shopping?
I once found a vintage Missoni sweater for $5.49! I was hanging on to that thing so tight, really excited that no one had found it yet, haha! It ended up not really fitting me well so I passed it on to a friend, but oh the thrill of that find!
Do you have a style or method that you use when vintage/thrift shopping?
My method is to basically go as often as I can. Most thrift shops are continually putting new stuff out all day, so the more you go, the more chance you have at catching that amazing piece. And I never set out to find anything specific. I have learned that if I do that, guaranteed, I will never find it. It's much better to just get out there, and be pleasantly surprised by what I wasn't looking for.
Is there one tip you could share that might help someone who is new to thrifting and vintage shopping?
My tip would be to be open minded. A lot of times, things just need a little tweak to look modern - a simple shortening of a skirt, or even just adding a belt, or rolling up the sleeves. It's all about the interpretation - and when you make it your own, you will end up with something really cool, no doubt!
