Thrifting Ed. 3: Car Boot Sale Edition.
I bet you didn't expect this! This blog IS about thrifting but just hang on with me for a second here... £7!!!! This is what I bought my favourite vintage Adidas T-shirt for at a Car Boot Sale in Polmadie, Southside, Glasgow. So, I think the conventional idea of charity shopping in this blog can sit back and give way for some car boot thrifting. It was a close friend of mines that introduced me to car boot thrifting, so I dedicate this blog to her. The endless stories of her finding Levi jeans and vintage branded T-shirts then a pair of converse for £3, I was sold, I think anyone would be.
There is an element of excitement to car boot thrifting, my friend told me this and I must confirm. Car boots are a thing for the early birds, and if you want the good stuff you have got to be there in the opening hours. These car boot sales open as early as 6am. That feeling of success when you get your bottom out of bed to make the fatal treck and find something you love for an absolute bargain at SEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING. It hits different.
I definitely recommend a car boot thrift, to anyone looking to elevate their game and try out something new. Who knows, you could fall in love with the flea market scene and become a regular! If you do become a regular, you will soon develop the talent of the eye, its a silly phrase I like to give to people like my friend, who just become so bloody good at finding cool clothing for even cooler prices. If not though, theres always the more sociable hours of shopping in Charity stores.
Leave a comment if you have ever been to a car boot and let me know how you found it and where you went! I very well might take myself a little trip to your recommendations and you could have your very own future post dedicated to you by yours truly.
Directions: Not sure, my boyfriend drove me :// All the best though!!! and think of finding this place as character development at 7 in the morning (lmf*o).
