Thrifted vs. Fast Fashion: Who is Superior?
Thanks to Generation Z, thrifting is trending, and I’m not mad about it. It’s a trend that helps the environment and brings back styles from iconic eras.
Though I’m not mad that thrifting is trending (and has been for a while), I am a little upset that a recent debate to surface the fashion world and its many subsections is thrifted versus fast fashion.

Spring Break Outfits: 2020
Spring break definitely didn’t go as planned.
My friend and I still did our trip to Asheville, but everything else was pretty much cancelled. I started my spring break in a tiny house in Weaverville, NC and ended my spring break in my bedroom in my grandparents’ basement where there is only one tiny window as a source of light.
With all that being said, enjoy a chaotic video of my spring break outfits.

A Few Thrifting Tips
Most of the time, I walk into a Goodwill or thrift store and wing it when it comes to thrifting.

Tennessee went through all four seasons during the week of February 17th. It was warm on some days and freezing on others. There was rain, snow, sunshine, and high winds.
