We’re closing out this week with @TheThriftingTeacher aka Pashen from Philly:
She writes, “As my Intagram name states, I am a public school teacher in/from Philadelphia, PA who has a passion for finding vintage pieces, preferably dresses, in thrift stores.”
“I’ve admired your work from afar for a few years, but subconsciously felt inferior because my clothes came from a thrift store and not a fabulous boutique.”
” In addition, in the past there was a negative connotation associated with shopping in thrift stores.”
” Yes, I shop in thrift stores. No, I’m not poor. Well, needless to say those days are over and those thoughts have vanished.”
” I want to show the world you can be just as fashionable thrifting.”
” Why pay retail when you can thrift!!!!”
“There are great finds just waiting for you at your local thrift store!”
“All of the looks below (excluding my shoes) were $20.00 or less….much less. Lol.”
You look great! Thrifting is a gift and you’ve certainly got an eye!
