A girl turns second-hand clothes into original outfits (21 photos)

Thrift store fans can spend hours rummaging around to find interesting second-hand items. They take their hobby seriously and simply love to save money and have fun at the same time. And those who know how to sew use their skills to remake things. That's exactly what Brooke Karasak does, creating unique outfits that make her stand out from the crowd!





Why has frugality become so popular? Firstly, many young people are environmentally conscious and choose to give new life to an item of clothing that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

Secondly, it is much cheaper than buying things in a regular store. And at the same time you can get a quality item that will serve you for many years. And if you put your hands on it, it will become truly unique. This way young people can create their own wardrobe that they can be proud of.

People like Brooke also serve as the masterminds behind “fashion for the budget conscious.” She and bloggers like her publish photographs and videos in which they talk about their finds in thrift stores and demonstrate the most interesting of them. There are a lot of fans of such content!

And this is the third factor that makes people visit second-hand stores - the search for something truly beautiful and wonderful. Yes, sometimes it can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, it is very nice to be rewarded for your efforts by finding something that will suit you incredibly well.

So, if you have enough patience and free time, you too can try your hand at putting together the perfect wardrobe from items found on the racks of a thrift store.

First you need to make a list of those wardrobe items that you need at the moment. For example, a winter coat, a dress for a party, clothes for the office, a tracksuit, etc. If you just go to a second-hand store and start wandering aimlessly in the hope that what you are looking for will fall into your hands, the likelihood of success is extremely low . No, you need to set a specific goal, strictly follow the plan and not give in to panic.

In search of the right thing, you will have to quickly look through just a million items of clothing. Therefore, it is useful to know which styles, styles and colors suit you, and which ones you can discard immediately. You should know in advance your preferences in clothing style and your sizes. And then you won’t have to waste time on clothes that may look impressive on a hanger, but will not suit your figure or your wardrobe at all.

Once you find an item you like, check it for signs of wear or stubborn stains. Touch the fabric to confirm its quality and check how durable it is. Check the ingredients on the label. Preference should be given to fabrics made from natural fibers - cotton, linen, wool.

And the most important thing in this whole process is to have fun! Yes, searching is work, but it should be fun. Bring a friend with you who will encourage you when you find something interesting. Or share your finds on social networks, as Brooke does. You can always show photos from the fitting room and ask for advice. It works flawlessly.

Happy hunting.
