Thrifting

I was always amused by the idea of getting vintage items. Getting something that has a story behind it and that was designed in a different era is very interesting. Let's not forget about the amazing prices and the "steals" you can find on designer items.
In our generation, in particular, fashion is inspired by past trends of years and years ago. You can find imitations of past styles on multiple clothing franchises, but having the chance to buy a piece of clothing, that was designed the era, that this trend was first introduced, is intriguing.

  

In Cyprus I find it difficult to get items such as these, so internet is my best friend lately. You can find amazing pieces on Asos Marketplace such as vintage leather bags, shoes, mom jeans, denim jackets, etc. My favourite boutique at the site is Avelina's Vintage. There you can find designer denims and it is my go-to place for vintage, reworked, LEVI'S jeans, and denim jackets. The fit is on point and the quality is the best !

  

As easy is to find products online my favourite way to buy vintage pieces is the organic one. The satisfaction of finding a "gem" in a pile of old and destroyed clothes is irreplaceable!  If no thrift stores are close to you, you can check your grandparents' closets and you might be surprised! My grandma's old wardrobe is my go to place whenever I feel like "shopping" without losing a dime.

Whatever you decide to do just remember to have fun and enjoy the process of finding your own style and identity. "The Joy of Dressing is an Art" John Galliano
