Not all thrift stores are created equal.
Make the most of your time and dress for success.
Mill Creek blogger Anne Dofelmier offers these thrifty tips on dailyfashionmuse.com:
Choose your store to fit your needs and ideology: Is it a true charity or a for-profit?
Wear close-fitting clothes, such as leggings or a circle skirt, and slip-on shoes, to make trying on clothes easier.
Take a friend. Go with a plan.
Consider alterations and know the cost.
Inspect items carefully and read labels.
Look for truly unique pieces. Get there early or find out when they stock the racks.
Clean out your own closet before you go. Some stores offer discounts when donations are made.
