Thrift Thrifting Thrifted

If you have not noticed, thrifting is the new shopping savvy. Every single one of our 'look of the day' models have included an item that they thrifted. Not only does it save money,  but you can find the most unique articles there. It also provides other things that range from jewelry to furniture to electronics. One guy that I modeled with for SwaggerNY (which I cannot model for anything) buys his clothing off Ebay. This is cool if you know your size and how things are going to fit, but I do not know my body type that well so I try and stick to exploring the thirft market.

Here are a couple of online thrifts I have shopped at before:
