So this past week, I went to two concerts in Philadelphia, Kali Uchis and BROCKHAMPTON (and of course I got merch). And while both of the shows were great, what really made the week memorable was the experience I had thrifting an outfit to wear for each concert. As you all know, I am an avid thrifter. It’s the bond that connects everyone involved in the community of this blog. However, much of my thrifting collection is a result of online thrifting. Whether through apps like Depop, Grailed, or simply buying from a reseller on Instagram, most of my thrifting is done online. But, I’ve undoubtedly come to rely on my local thrift store, Thrift Works, almost as much, and hopefully you will too.

So, as I previously mentioned, I’ve purchased from Thrift Works before, being that I am a reseller of thrifted clothing myself. So it has become an invaluable staple in the continuity of how my resale business is run. The selections inside were even more vast than anything you could imagine in comparison with the content on the Facebook page. The selections were plentiful, as I strolled the aisles in pure awe of quality of content that this shop possessed. Racks upon racks of gems like Tommy Hilfiger polos to trench coats to gear up for the brooding winter ahead of us. Although the shop’s content is seemingly endless, even stemming into a diverse children’s section in the back, here’s what I thought were some of the best features of the shop and its content:

The sign that hangs outside of the Thrift Works store as you enter. As the sign says, this particular shops specializes in thrift resale rather than vintage resale.

Photographed is the entrance of the Thrift Works store. Although there is a back entrance, customers only have access to the front entrance.

Getting into the holiday spirit, the shop was sporting these festive decorations in its windows.

This is the table set up in the front of the store to greet customers as they walk in.

One of the many styles on display.

Racks, racks, and more racks of stylish clothing waitin gto be thrifted.

Shown is one of the various styles displayed within the shop as soon as you enter.

Another very chic style choice that makes this thrift shop unique in its own right.

…And more racks of clothing.

A shoe rack almost hidden in the store’s corner, this is almost the hidden gold mine of the shop in my opinion.

Another Halloiween decoration (Don’t worry, they aren’t this festive for every holiday)

A very simple but elegant striped sweater, accentuated by the slick gold neck piece.

Trench coats as we gear up for the wintery days ahead of us.

A few more decorations to spook you into thrifting something.

….And more racks on top of the racks that are on top of racks….

Yes….another rack.

Keeping the Halloween spirit, the Thrift Works shop was decorated both inside and out by employees.

Shoes displayed near the front counter should be illegal, it just isn’t fair. How can you say no to a WALL of shoes?

Readying for the winter, the shop has began to display their various styles of trench coats and long sleeves.

These are images of some of the decorations in the shop’s children’s section.

Host to a cast selection of sport/suit jackets, Thrift Works often has the style that you need in their stock.

Here, we see some of the tee shirts from the children’s section

My favorite photo, hands down.

Okay, I may have lied. How can this view not be my favorite?

Photographed here is the design of the children’s section of Thrift Works. This is the best part of the shop in my opinion, as the attempt to genuine cater to the children is obvious, and that effort has to be appreciated.

Hi…it’s racks again.

And of course, we have to end on a picture of a rack.

Shown here is a sign posted marketing their social media to all customers. Now that you’ve seen their shop, go give them a follow and tell them that ThroneofThrift sent you.
