I recently went to a Salvation Army thrift store to try and recreate an outfit I found on Pinterest. The fabric didn’t look exactly the same as the picture, but it was amazing how easy it was to find similar pieces at such an affordable price. Thrift stores are a great way to get the look you want without spending too much. 

I was able to put together an outfit that looked just like the one I liked—all within my budget. The best part was finding a white purse that I loved so much, I couldn’t leave without it. Although it wasn’t part of the original outfit, I had to bring it home.

Thrift shopping is a great choice for anyone who has an outfit in mind. You can find unique items and make them your own. It’s also a fun challenge to mix and match pieces. Plus, it’s a sustainable way to shop, giving old items a second life while still getting something new to enjoy. If you’ve ever wanted to copy a look from online, I really recommend you try thrift shopping. It’s amazing what you can find!
