If you answered mostly As, you probably shop in thrift stores like Renaissance and Value Village. Whenever someone compliments a thrifted fit, you get satisfaction of saying, “Thanks, I thrifted it.” You adore searching through the sea of items in hope of finding those hidden gems that will become your new favourites. You certainly have patience and thrifting truly is a talent of yours.
If you answered mostly Bs, you probably shop in curated vintage stores. You more or less have the same aesthetic as those who thrift. You would rather not have to deal with the hassle of searching endlessly for items, so you do not mind spending an extra buck. You love the aesthetic of the vintage stores and enjoy trying on items just for the fun of it.
If you answered mostly Cs, you probably shop at the mall. You like the lively environment of the mall and getting yourself a little treat along the way. Most of the time you do not even shop, you just like walking around saying, “This is so cute!” and not buying anything. You have most likely tried to thrift at least once, but came out empty handed whereas your friend who thrifts all the time found at least some items that were exactly their size (relatable).
