Tips for Finding Retro Clothing

Video Transcript

"All right today what I brought most of my items in here in this cute little orange suitcase. This is one of the items that I absolutely love to find when I go thrift store hunting. You may look on the shelves and go it just looks like a bunch of old suitcases but some of them are really cute and they are in pretty good shape for as old as they are. This little orange one I found might have been only $5 but it is really nicely lined on the inside here and is great for modern day travel. Another reason I love to collect them is they make great for storage when you stack them in your room or any room in your house. They just look really cute better than a plain old Samsonite. So keep your eyes open for these when you are in thrift stores or yard sales. A lot of people want to get rid of these and get the modern day ones but they are really cute to use or to use for decorations and for storage. Next I am going to show you some fun kind of basic staples that you might find when you are shopping. Granted a lot of these old items are one of a kind and you are never going to find to but there are a lot of things that the more you shop, the more you are going to come across. Some of the first steps whee are you going to find these items keeping in mind being on a budget are thrift stores. You've got to have a good chunk of time of day to just kind of go through with everything. It can be a little overwhelming when you went to the store. The first place I like to hit is the dresses section and just kind of skim through there and see what you are looking for. Another tip that I happened to find some of the best thrift stores find vintage or either in old neighborhoods, say where the homes might have been you know from the 80's or before. A lot of those people and families pass on these large amounts of vintage clothing and just donate them to the shops. In most cases, people just want to purchase the antique furniture and the china and the clothing gets overlooked. So either in the thrift stores that are kind of like in old neighborhoods are actually some of the not quite high end, you can find some really cool stuff. The same goes with estate sales. A lot of people go straight to the furniture and jewelry and the clothing gets overlooked. Sometimes they just want to throw that stuff away so they are more than hap0py to pass it on to somebody. "
