Crap, watching this gave me The Itch. The Itch I get when I want to go thrift shopping, that is. But that really isn't a bad thing...

Don't forget about ebay!!! Ebay's my best friend!

I hate when I go to Goodwill and I look in their "vintage" section and find a paisley blouse that was desinged by Mary Kate and Ashley... grr.

I've complained a few times to this kid I know who works there and he was just like "I just put out the stuff they tell me to."

I aways have to shop in the kids section as I look about ten years younger than my age which bites when I'm barely 22. But I have found some pretty cute things that fit me better than any other department.

I really like your perspective. I'm 13 & even when I see something ( at goodwill ) that has shoulder pads, or drag- like sleeves I usually cut them off & hem them & people are like "no way!" when I tell them I shop goodwill & do that. By the way, your style is a lot like that of Courtney Love 90's era style. Watch her music video "Hole- Doll Parts" you dress like her!! Very vintag3;)

I'm just saying, if she likes what she's wearing, then why should she care what you think? I'm not trying to be rude, I just think that some people don't wear clothes just to please people. They wear them because they genuinely like them. No one is asking you to wear that outfit, so why do you even care? If she wants to wear it, so what? Theres no need to put her down(:

[x0ticShwty]

@thatgal731 indie/vintage? More like Amish. She'd fit right in.

[superchickrocker]

@x0ticShwty I boldly agree.

[thatgal731]

I love your boldness! Being indie/vintage isn't about pleasing everybody with mainstream brands, its about finding what you like & not worrying about what other people think; its about being independent. You inspire me(:

[x0ticShwty]

That's a very ugly outfit you're wearing :/ I would never go anywhere wearing that.

.how do u know when something is vintage at a thrift store? like if the store isnt vintage n its salvation army or goodwill how do u know because they carry non vintage items as well...am i suppose to be able to just look at a item n tell? i dont want to call an item vintage unless ik for sure....

p.s how do u know if a bag is vintage? i bought a bag that looks vintage but im not sure if it is. guess i have to better educate myself on vintage stuff
