6 Thrifting Bloggers to get Inspiration From
You know how some people are really into celebrities and can name a bunch of them for no apparent reason? Well, I’m terrible when it comes to knowing what celebrity is doing god-knows-what with so and so’s boyfriend. It just doesn’t interest me in any way shape or form. However, when it comes to bloggers and YouTubers I absolutely love it seeing what they’re up to. No really, I spend an unhealthy amount of time watching people do little hauls on InstagramStories. I came across one thrifting blogger and fell into a hole where I needed to find all of the thrifting bloggers out there. I came across these six incredible bloggers that show a positive life in the world of second-hand clothing.
But first, why is shopping second hand so important?
The average American throws away 82 pounds of textile waste each year. That is as much as a middle schooler weighs. Donating the used clothing is great until you realize how much of the clothing doesn’t get sold. In fact, it is reported that only 10% of the clothes we donate actually get sold… and that number is only expected to increase with the rise of fast fashion stores. When the clothes don’t get sold in second-hand shops, they get boxed up and sent to developing countries. The clothes there then ruin the textile factories there because they have so many clothes. Some of the clothes also end up in landfills and take over 200 years to decompose all while producing toxic chemicals. By shopping second-hand, you help decrease the amount of textile waste while receiving a unique wardrobe.

You have no idea how happy that makes me! I watched the True Cost last year and couldn’t believe how much we actually throw away. I still love shopping but I’m trying to be better about what types of fabric I consume and whether or not they decompose. Still learning though! ❤
