Bohemians LOVE thrift shopping! It's where we find a lot of our unique vintage clothing, accessories, and home furnishings! 
As a bohemian, let me tell you that thrift shopping for clothes and home decor is an experience that is not credited for its benefits as much as it should. In fact, no bohemian would ever deny that a trip to a shop is an experience that will leave you feeling quite giddy! 
Read on to find out 9 reasons why it's great for everyone to thrift shop for clothing, accessories, and home decor.



► Cheap, Cheap, Cheap! 
This goes without saying – you can save a LOT of money at thrift shops. Bargains and special discounts make it even easier to shop, especially when you’re on a tight budget. And if you’re lucky, you might just find a very valuable item at a surprisingly low price.


► Old is Gold 
Antique and vintage clothing and home decor are always in demand. You can easily find unique one-of-a-kind jewelry and clothing that are no longer being produced. Also, antique furniture is usually of MUCH better quality than our modern stuff. That's why it still exists and your 3-year-old futon from Walmart is already in the trash. If you've got a bit of a crafty side, you can buy clothing and furniture to revamp (or flip) and resell it for a profit!


► Find Your Unique Self 
The most fascinating part of thrift shopping is that one spree will take you on a journey of self-discovery. The abundance of stock gives you the liberty to discover who you really are and how you want to be. It becomes YOUR space. Unlike the high-end resale businesses, thrift shops are not wrapped in glitz and glamour. Yet, their loosely organized aisles and the mellow atmosphere are strangely comfortable enough to illuminate your creative side!


► Guilt-Free Shopping
With no budget constraints or limited buying options, you can truly manifest your dream of retail therapy. Get that pair of antique clip on earrings and grab that red velvet jacket you've always secretly desired without fear of breaking the bank!


► Social Impact 
Thrift stores are usually charitable organizations that directly support the community. They provide services to the underprivileged members of the society, unemployed, homeless, and disabled individuals. Your purchases can, in fact, help your brothers and sisters in need!


►  Imagine. Create. Model. 
The desperate need to follow trends can be exhausting (not to mention boring). That's why bohemians don't do it. There is no pleasure in looking just like everyone else. At the thrift shop, the wide variety of clothes provides you the perfect opportunity to bring out the designer in you. Let your imagination run wild, wear your creative cap and model that ensemble you’ve dared to create.

► Environmentally-Friendly
Every re-used item reduces the waste and pollution that is caused while making new items. It also saves the energy that goes into producing new items.


► Surprise, Surprise!
A thrift shop is like a mystery box – only a lot bigger and better. You can predict what you end up taking home. Not sure what you want? Step into a thrift shop and let yourself be exposed to endless possibilities.  


► Hack for Parents
Children usually outgrow their clothing faster than one can imagine. Parents usually regret spending huge amounts of money on new clothing. Instead, they could purchase good quality clothes at affordable prices and top-notch quality at the thrift shops.

  1. My bother got me hooked on thrifts when I was in college. he was working with handicapped adults. and expected to wear shirts, he found that $1.00 Van Heusen's from thrifts worked just as well as store sales that cost many times that amount. I went into social work, and found I could dress really well on a skimpy budget, and now that I'm older I haunt my favorite thrift $.50 cent rack for shirts, jeans and other clothing items, it seems like the only way to shop!
