Poppin' Tags at Goodwill

I believe that in general when one is in public they should try to always look their best. I adore fashion and my tastes are very diverse. There are a lot of fashion blogs on the internet but one thing that I've noticed is that every time you click on a link to buy what you see, you (or at least I) end up with sticker shock. $200 for a pair of jeans? $50 for a shirt?? It's like they want you to believe you have to drop a car payment in order to dress well. 
I'm no fool.
Enter Goodwill. Goodwill is a thrift shop with locations nationwide. It is also hands down my favorite place to shop for clothes and other random goodies. If Goodwilling were a game, I'd be a champion. Practically all of my favorite outfits have come from Goodwill and for someone like me, to walk out of a store with multiple new outfits, knowing you only spent like $20 feels amazing. 
It is important to note that one must be careful when choosing clothing at a thrift store. I have the same standards for quality when I'm Goodwilling as I do at any other store. Fortunately, Goodwill has changing rooms and since I always try clothes on before buying them at a regular store, I do the same when I'm Goodwilling. Since the items are second hand, it's also important to inspect your finds for any stains or holes. 
Shirts are like $3, pants $3 (I think, maybe $5), dresses $5, winter coats $5... 
Macklemore says it best in his song Thrift Shop...




"I'm gonna pop some tags, only got $20 in my pocket. I-I-I'm huntin', looking for a come up, this is fucking awesome."
