Happy National Thrift Day folks! As a seasoned thrifter, I know firsthand how fun and frustrating thrifting can be, especially as a plus size person.

Here are my to-go tips to make every trip to the thrift store a good trip 👆🏾✨

For recommendations of plus size specific thrift stores, check out the “+ size thrift stores” highlight in my bio ♻️🛍️

What are your to-go tips and places for thrifting clothes?

Thrifting tips, sustainable fashion, plus size style

De-influencing (aka not letting people or trends determine your future purchases) is another form of conscious living and it’s here to stay. So here are my go-to tips to ensure what you want is influenced by you, not the internet.

How often do you feel pressured to buy something when scrolling your feed? How often do you let yourself be influenced?

As this Labor Day goes by, here’s a note of appreciation for the millions of people who spend their days working to make the clothes we love come from an idea to reality.

May you get the rest and recognition you deserve (even if it does not especially happen today) ✨💫

If you’re interested in supporting a cause this holiday, the @garmentworkercenter is collecting donations for their Emergency Relief Fund which helps support workers in the LA Garment District that are facing house insecurity and lack of benefits

Workers make the world operate and “unskilled labor” is a myth to make us believe that survivable working conditions is only for certain people. May Day is a prime example and reminder that a reality where workers are treated with respect and a livable wage is possible if we fight for it ✊🏾#mayday #internationalworkersday #workersrights

Crafts + music = an ideal night in for me 😅🪡 #sewingismytherapy #craftnight
