Get to know me
✨Thrifting Queen✨
My name is Alyssa and I am from Austin, Texas. I am an Austinite born and raised! My passion for fashion started as a young girl I would cut out the newest fashion trends from magazines and hang it up on my wall. I was a die-hard fan of J-14 and enjoyed reading the fashion tips of the month. Once I started earning my own money as a teenager is when I truly started to invest in my clothing. I started to curate my wardrobe by thrift shopping. Thrift shopping soon became a hobby ( or some say sport) that I grew to love.
Why do I love thrifting?
I have always strived to be fashion forward and as a teenager without a job I had to become resourceful. I was under the impression that thrift stores had dirty, cheap and ugly clothes and as skeptical about stepping foot into one. My first thrift shop changed my mind immediately and I have been hooked ever since.
I always admired the vintage look and wearing rare clothing that my peers would not have. I soon began to enjoy the hunt and the feeling of the unknown when it came to what I would find. Often times I find myself wondering what life this piece had before me especially my vintage finds. Wearing unique vintage pieces such as jackets, sweaters and accessories are a major part of my wardrobe.
Not only is thrifting an expensive way to find high-quality and trendy pieces it is also a more sustainable way shop. I love giving a piece of clothing a second life and incorporating it into my own personal style. With that being said I want to share my passion with ya’ll and bring you on my journey as I aspire to be a thrifting blogger!
