Thrift and Consignment Shops
Shopping second hand is always a great option when you are looking to renew your summer wardrobe. Not only is sustainability is in style, thrifting helps the environment by reducing excess waste that would otherwise go to a landfill. Trends are a cycle, and what is stylish comes and goes. Items that may have been out of fashion at one point become popular again as tastes change. You may need to set aside some time to comb through the racks, but you can find surprisingly trendy and stylish items at a much lower cost. On top of saving costs and helping the environment, many local thrift stores have an important mission to help those in need in the community.
