School of Thrift

Time flies when you’re having a great summer!  In addition to doing a fair bit of thrifting for myself (because I am fresh out of everything, it’s very tragic), I took my kids thrifting for back-to-school clothes at the recent 40% sale at VV Boutique on the way back from camp.  It was pleasantly quiet in the store so we could browse the racks with leisure…

All in all, I scored 35 pieces for my three children for $114.20 – that’s an average cost per piece of $3.26.  UNDER FOUR DOLLARS!  Now, take a second and scroll up again and look at all those pieces in perfect condition.  Moms, there is no excuse to buy fast fashion for your children this fall.  Please just don’t.  Think about sustainability, think about the things that really matter.  You can still have your $4 clothes, but without anyone paying such a high cost.  And heads up, there’s a 50% sale at VV Boutique Aug 3rd and 4th and there will probably be at least one more 50% sale before September, and all the little thrift stores and other chains have regular sales too.  Getting a great deal isn’t hard – anyone can go to the School of Thrift!
