The first time I heard of "thrift shopping" was in 11th grade from one of my friends, and I was in awe of the fact that she actually bought clothes at the thrift store. After getting over myself, I realized thrifting is for everyone. Today, I probably couldn't live without random thrift store bargains that satisfy my budget and my (believe it or not) expensive taste.
You find odds and ends that you didn't know you needed until you see them.
Bookends, coffee mugs, candlesticks, etc. You name it; it's more than likely at the thrift shop.

Thank you, Macklemore. You have changed us for the better.

Lara Spencer does it, so obvs it's cool..
This trendy, not to mention economically savvy, Good Morning America host has the best taste and makes the majority of her purchases from second hand shops!
Oversized flannels, oversized sweaters, anything oversized to wear with leggings, etc.
A basic white girl's heaven. 
How could we forget high-waisted jean cutoffs?
Harry Styles does it. Need I say more???
Endless selection of shirts, skirts, pants, jackets, scarves, and more! You could literally spend all day searching the racks and scoring deals!
You never know what deals await you, only if you're willing to give it a shot.
My mom found an authentic leather jacket, originally purchased at an extremely nice store at the mall, for only $10!
It's for a good cause.
