If you feel like treating yourself to take your mind off the pandemic, you are not the only one. Many, including the writer of this piece, have resorted to buying clothes and accessories from online thrift stores that promise money for value. Not only do these accounts offer you a wide variety of styles to choose from, they also help you switch to a more environment-friendly consumer lifestyle. Not all green heroes wear capes, some wear pre-loved clothes. Thrifting is a great way to make sure that you're not adding to the burgeoning waste problem by buying pieces that won't last you more than a season.
