I am a huge advocate for shopping secondhand. Buying from thrift stores is better for the environment, for local store owners, and for your wallet. We're so fixated on new things with brand new tags on them when there are super cute and usable clothes right in front of our eyes!
Here are some hidden thrifting gems in Michigan that will be sure to keep your closet full!
1. Closet Overload — Brooklyn
Closet Overload is a small town charm.
This shop is a small little spot in Brooklyn, Michigan that always has a ton of great finds. The shop owner is always there and loves to take your picture to post on the store's Facebook page. What's even better is that if you don't live in town the store's owner will post new items on the store's social media accounts, and if you find something that you can't live without, she will ship it to you!
2. Second Glance Resale Shop — St. Clair Shores
Second Glance is the perfect stop for thrifters in Southeast Michigan. They usually have some awesome brand named items, and I usually find the coziest winter coats there.
3. Community Thrift Store — Clinton Township
This thrift store is bound to stock up your comfy T-shirt and crewneck supply. The size of the store is a bit overwhelming, but with some time and patience, you will run into some great finds!
