I love thrift stores (op shops, charity shops, second hand stores). Finding something that was pre-loved and unique is a thrill (especially when it's cheap!). I'm big on reducing waste, but also not supporting unethical practices such as
sweat shops and pollution often done by large retail chains in order to increase the profit margin. When you shop at a thrift store, in most cases the staff are volunteers and the profit goes to charity.
Bought at Traid
Today I went out looking for something red for an event I'm going to next week, but ended up coming home with these super shiny shoes. I love shiny things, I'm basically a magpie, so when I saw something similar in Primark I had to really resist buying them. Next time you're looking for something cute and cheap, remember the true cost of purchasing from large chain retail stores and opt for thrift stores instead.
