How to Thrift Intuitively

Hello Beloved Seekers!

There’s a difference between shopping and seeking.

Thrifting can be a way of uncovering the layers of your identity, guided not by trends, but by your own intuition.

Thrifting intuitively means tuning into your curiosity, your memories, and your desires. It’s a ritual of listening to and connecting with your inner world.

If the idea of thrifting intuitively feels like a foreign concept, here are some suggestions to help you get started:

Step One: Begin with Intention

Before you browse or shop, breathe.

Ask yourself; What do I want to feel more of? What colours or textures have been calling to me? What part of myself do I want to express today?

Step Two: Let Go of the Plan

Thrifting is a hunt, and you never know what you’ll find.

Embrace the uncertainty, Enjoy the chaotic feelings. You might find nothing. You might find magic. Either is perfect. Wander. Don’t rush. Let your eye land on what feels alive.

Step Three: Try it On With Curiosity

Don’t judge what calls to you.

Try it on. Move in it. Ask: Does this feel like a past version of me? Or a future one? Do I stand differently in this? Does it spark a story I want to share?

Ultimately, your closet itself is a mirror.

What is it reflecting back to you? Let it speak. What is it you want to say?
