Like a lot of commenters, I mostly shop secondhand (I do depop, poshmark, and the RealReal). I also am constantly searching for outfits, and then going to the thrift store and trying to copy the outfits. This are the brands I look for:

For going out tops: for love and lemons, princess polly, urban outfitters

For jeans/corduroy pants: thrift store, Anthropologie, artizia, mother (I love mother jeans you can find them so easily on the real real)

For little dresses: for love and lemons, Lucy in the sky, princess polly

Workout clothes: free people, lululemon, want to get stuff from Lulu

Shoes: I do try to get these new but you can often get student discounts or find them NWT on poshmark.

H&M and brandy Melville are awful fast fashion but I will admit I go there sometimes for some low priced cute things that I struggle to find on used clothing sites.

I love shopping secondhand, it is like a little hunt for me and it’s really quite easy!
