READING

Thrift shops are thriving with endless options from flawless fashion items to
vintage finds and individual souvenirs. The craze for second-hand shops
continues and there is no reason why it shouldn't be, considering every
contribution goes a long way. But why should you really check one out, if
you haven't done so before (and become a slight charity shop addict like me
in the making!)? Well, here are my five top reasons for why charity shops
are the best for buying clothes with a difference.

1) Cheap and cheerful

One of the main reasons that these retail

establishments are so popular is that they are great
value for money. You are able to buy clothing of all
types for a relatively decent price that accordingly
goes to a good cause, making you feel cheerful for
spending money and not guilty for blowing your
money. And let's face it; affordable prices never go
a miss!
2) Sustainable fashion
Also known as eco-fashion, where one is part of the growing trend of
sustainability and fashion in order to support our environment and those
around us, giving us a sense of social responsibility. When one simply buys
something from a charity shop, you are strengthening the growing projects
and making the world a fairer place in the long run. Be the difference you
want to see; simply by buying an item or two every now and then you could
be changing somebody's life in need.

3) Be original
Don't you find it lame when you catch somebody with the same shirt or top
on as you? Well, now is your chance to be different. You can find clothing
that will not be available in conventional stores, allowing your originality to
flourish and not be copied. Furthermore, when somebody asks where you've
got something from, you can grin in delight that you have got it from a charity
shop (then they can't copy you too!).
4) Raise awareness
Most retail units have a parent charity, for example Oxfam
being one of the biggest global aids. This means that when
you buy from the specific chain of charity shop, you know
that you are supporting their activities and furthering their
charitable work. Another factor is the environmental effect it
has, due to mass consumption in shopping these days.
Instead of buying completely new goods, you can buy a
perfectly good-as-new item for half the price.
5) Range of goods
The amount of merchandise that
charity shops have to offer is
endless. Dependent on where you go
of course, as some shops only sell
clothing, yet other bigger and
renowned chains offer literally
everything you can imagine, such as
books, shoes, bags and socks. Not to
mention that some shops sell new
stock from department stores that
have donated them, and vintage
items like vinyl, CDs and clothing that
are no longer available anywhere
else.
The list could go on ... but I hope this
has spurred you on to try out a guilt-free shopping trip whilst supporting
charities, looking unique and feeling fab about it!
