Yes, She Thrifts

Let's Get Into Vlogs Growing up in an increasingly digital age, I have been exposed to video blogs for quite a few years. Honestly, I remember when "vlogging" wasn't even a key term yet. That makes me sound old (I promise, I'm still hip).  With age came the need to procrastinate more often; my favorite way to do this became watching Youtube videos. My favorite vlogs were the "Thrift With Me" editions, where content creators took their fans along with them while they hunted for second-hand treasures. I was able to vicariously shop with people I had never met, and I loved it. Seeing other people find new-to-you items was so fun to experience. Luckily for me, all of that internet procrastinating paid off.    There was only one YouTube vlogger that I watched on a regular basis. I actually waited for her videos to be released each week. Although this particular young woman has changed her content from when I watched her originally, she still conti...

Let's Make Some Friends There are so many ways to construct a personal brand, I had no idea! Luckily, my newfound friends helped me out a bit. I scoured the internet community for some thrifting blogs that would allow me to construct a brand that is personal and unique to me. Drawing inspiration from others can be an incredibly beneficial practice. Networking is also equally beneficial for both parties involved: my newfound blogger friends receive well-deserved recognition and exposure, and I intake inspiration and perspective.  Since it seems hardly fair to keep these blogs to myself, I'm going to go ahead and share them with you guys. Each blog listed bellow is special in their own way, and I will let you know how I have benefitted from each one. Feel free to click on the title to enjoy the blog for yourself. Buckle your seatbelts, because it is about to be a thrifting overload. Here we go! 1.   THE OUTFIT REPEATER We have to first address the c...

Nice to meet you, I'm Kate.   Yes, it's me! Let's start this thrifting journey together. If you're looking for thrifting tips, good finds, and ways to save money, then you have come to the right place. Before we get to the good stuff, we should chat a bit. Since we're going to be good friends, let me share a little about myself and my journey thus far.  My name is Kathryn Pani, but you can call me Kate. I'm a Junior at Columbia College where I'm pursuing a degree in Marketing. My passions include volleyball (which I am currently playing at CC), horse riding, ice cream, Jesus, and thrifting. Those have to be my favorite things in this world. Not only that, but I have always loved a good deal. I have been frequenting Goodwill since I was a little girl. My grandma/best friend and I would go to nearby thrifts to play dress up, rightfully so. When I started getting older, this turned into treasure hunting. I would be digging for hours to find a good name brand, o...
