Do you thrift? I’m in a play right now and one of my fellow castmates has the best sense of style and the most unique pieces of clothing. How does she do it? She’s a thrifter. Some people have the enviable knack of being able to put together outfits and seeing the potential of clothes that most people would just look past. Ali, in my cast, has this knack. Tavi the blogger is always showing off her thrifty finds - if you haven’t checked her out yet, it’s time you do. My good friend Tia has the ability to put clothes together like no other.

So what’s a girl to do if she doesn’t have this natural ability thrift and thrive, but she covets it?  I say cultivate it! Do you have a friend with the style knack? Go shopping with her! I also love the idea of making yourself your own style folder with looks you want to create. Tear pictures from magazines and catalogs, print pics of celebrity style you like. Then take the folder with you when you thrift. Need even more inspiration? Type "thrifting blogs" into google and you will find a plethora of blogs dedicated to the art. There has never been a better time to thrift than now, with the economy and with the green movement. Recycling clothes is good for your wallet and for the environment!
