My Favorite Places to Thrift in DFW

With a recent shift in my financial priorities I'm a practically Thrift Enthusiast! I love the idea of not paying retail! I also want to get rid of some debt so that I can contribute more to a few projects I want to develop my community.

Thrift shopping was always a choice in college, until just recently when I was forced to add pieces to my wardrobe in efforts to look the part as I aspire to venture out into entrepreneurship as well as making a positive influence in my community. I love vintage clothing. I’m a huge fan of the 50's era. I pride myself on looking stylish without having to spend a lot of money. To the skeptics out there wondering if it’s possible to look stylish wearing thrift threads, there is nothing wrong with shopping for unique garments to compliment your style and basic wardrobe. You'd be surprise as to what you could come across. One women's trash is another woman's come up! (In my Macklemore voice) I love that song!

I’ve received several requests from you wanting to know how to successfully shop thrift stores and which ones are worth the hunt. So I compiled a list of my Favorite Thrift Stores in DFW for you.

To my Single Moms, you can still embrace your sense of style when your budget does not permit for new items. I'm a regular at # 6 because of this reason. I also will host a Thrift Tour for all my local gals interesting in going out shopping with me.
