1. Dress comfortably 

 I advise that you wear a skirt. In my experience most thrift stores don’t have a changing room. Trying on clothes in public is a lot easier with a skirt.

2. Patience

Sifting through tons of clothes requires a lot of patience so brace yourself or you might miss out on finding gems

3. Budget

It’s easy to just buy things because they are so cheap but I recommended budgeting to avoiding binging and buying unnecessary items.

4. Potential

Keep in mind that a lot of items you find might need to be tailored, don’t skip an item simply because it does not fit right. See TheChicNatural YouTube channel for ideas on how to upgrade thrift items.

5.  See it  Pick it 

Since thrift store are stocked with unique pieces, if you see an items of interest, pick it up and decide later. You don’t want to be in a situation where you leave something and go back to find it gone
