the vintage drop

Vintage shopping has been around for years, but thrifting for clothes is going insane right now.

And I am here for it! 

The other day my roommate and I had to go shopping, one because I needed business clothes and two because I needed clothes in general. As a college student, I have no spending money, like zero, which is sad. So, I convinced my roommate to go shopping at goodwill. 

I love second-hand shopping but I'm not great at it. I can usually find things but it's the part whether or not I am going to wear them when I get home. I always get these ideas in my head about what pieces I can wear with what but half the time I fail at the final product. 

Also, I've done my research on fast fashion and how our environment has been destroyed by all these unsustainable, cheap clothing companies. So, I try to stay away. This is why vintage shopping is perfect. 

Anyway, I've gone to goodwill in my hometown but never in Lima, so I considered myself taking a risk. I was a bit nervous I would have to pay hundreds of dollars on new clothes at the mall, but I was lucky enough to find some unique trendy clothing pieces at goodwill. I know it might sound crazy but some of these pieces are not as bad as they look. 

I would say my style may be a bit odd sometimes, but I have a vision and I'm excited about the pieces I found. 

These boots were five dollars and they are astonishing. 

This little set is for business. Yes, it may look very old, but it works! 

These shirts and pants can make the perfect dress up or down look. 

These may not be your style, but I hope I inspired you to maybe shop secondhand before you buy off a random cheap website. Today, our environment needs your help more than ever and you never know what you might find at a vintage shop. It's an adventure every time :)
