I spent my teens and early 20s shopping almost exclusively at thrift stores.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a kid, I loved going to lots of thrift stores with my parents. There was a period where I thought it was embarrassing, and then I started to get older - I realized they were really cool.
Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.
I'm old enough to remember in the 1930s and the 1940s when thrift, frugality, was considered an important virtue.
I love thrift shopping. You can get ten things because everything costs, like, three dollars.
I shop at thrift shops probably five times a week.
I shop at thrift stores and consignment shoppes. I wear my clothes as is, and maybe get them dry cleaned whenever possible.
I started dressing vintage when I was a teenager because I didn't have money for designer clothes.
I shop at thrift stores a lot. I have a lot of silver pitchers and I put my flowers in those. I collect antiques, so there are a lot of old rocking chairs... My friends call my home the vortex because nobody wants to leave.
Basically, I always go to vintage shops rather than going shopping for new clothes.
As a kid, I would always shop for my back-to-school clothes at department stores. I lived in a small town, and department stores were all we had access to.
