MY THRIFTING TRY ON HAUL/REASON YOU SHOULD GO THRIFT SHOPPING

-
I'm excited to share with you this blog, on my previous post before I went on a long break, I promised that I would share with you some of the outfits I got while thrifting at Gikimba market.
Today I'm wearing two major pieces that I thrifted, which you guys should notice by the look on my face are now one of my favourite pieces I'm loving.
I took some other few pieces that I also got from the same place.
As a blogger in this day and age, fashion trendsetters, social media glitz and the whole idea of dressing to impress is very much alive. Everyone's style is very different and there's a variety of many options of how people should dress to look good.
However, I like to call my style simple, unique and elegant and putting together this outfit gave me the vibe that I wanted and am personally impressed, which makes me want to go back for more.
        OUTFIT DETAILS
Brown Pallazo pant - Gikomba 20ksh
Top -  20ksh Gikomba 
Brown Wedge - 20ksh Gikomba
Pulse - 100Ksh Gikomba
Braids - Darling Maxi braids
I get asked where I get my outfits and now y'all have an idea of it. The trick with thrifting is having a good eye and being creative when it comes to putting your outfit together, more so, enjoying your shopping, that being said,
 I decided to put together some of the few reasons why you should try thrift shopping.
1. Quality - Most of the thrifted items are definitely of high quality. I believe by anyone who has ever been a thrifter can attest to this. The fact that the outfit is still in shape is a good reason to believe.
2. Creativity - I love putting my clothes together and the fact that while thrifting you need to have that in mind. When I purchase my outfits, I usually have in mind what to match it with.
3. Variety - There are so many different styles from vintage style to modern street styles. While thrifting, you find all sort of things and that's what I like about it.
4. Uniqueness - I prefer my pieces unique, the fact that I find them at a fair price is even better. I love an outfit that doesn't go out of style and that's what am here for, therefore wearing that outfit and getting questions like"where can I get that "outfit blows my mind, cos you just have to go thrifting is.
5. Promoting Local market - A big percentage of people are earning a living here, so when thrifting, technically you putting food on someone's table etc this the growth of the economy.
6. Networking - I have honestly met people that we later become friends. I have even met fellow bloggers.
7. Adventure - I enjoy the experience nothing as fulfilling as going to such a place and ending up with amazing pieces for you to wear. It's fun and exciting at the same time, and that's what shopping should be.
8. Saves you money - last but not least thrifting has saved some coins for me. I get designer pieces that go all the way to the lowes price you can think of. 
That beats the end of our blog today and am overwhelmed by your feedback on the previous blog about Gikomba(link) check out if you haven't
Thank you for stopping by!
Hope I have inspired you to try some thrifting.

Well, hello lovelies. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve logged in to chat here, life lately has been super hectic, super busy to be precise. This year has been whimsical in so many ways.  Hope you've had a great start of the month, as I am writing this in the morning of the beginning of september, I is the start of the month, Its a gloomy day as I look out of the window. I have the idea of writing on the website but i keep postponing to another day. So I wake up and decide to write it before i get out of bed. Oh! as long as I can remember, I wrote a post a few month ago and it got deleted, can you imagine? how dissapointing that was.

Happy sunday to you incase you read this immediately I put it up.  Something about my brain craves to spit out written words so here I am, writing down is my therapy. Alot to share with you guys, And before I start is there a publishing editor that w...

LOOSEN YOUR GRIP

This thought keeps coming at least twice or thrice a day and each time, it hits me right in my center. I never saw myself as someone with control issues. I am very much a live-and-let-live kinda girl for the most part. I let people do what they want to do and respect everyone having a choice to live their life how they see fit. What I've never taken note of was how in control have to be all the time. Emotionally to feel comfortable and safe. I wasn't controlling others or trying to control my environment, I was controlling myself.  POLICING MYSELF. I was holding so tight to my emotions that my knuckles were turning white. I needed to loosen my grip. I needed to learn to let go of the emotions so that my hands would be free to hold purposeful things. I let go of my grip on my emotions and now I can love, laugh, learn, heal, grow, knowledge, friendships, and the list goes on. Pinterest Images: Loosening my grip also freed up my ability to deal with other p...
