What I love more than thrift shopping, is to share my passion and be an inspiration so others would try thrift shopping too. In 2011, I started the Thrifting Atlanta community because I wanted to get the message out to as many people that I could, here in Atlanta and nationwide. Today our social network of over 30K members who are thrift shopping veterans and newbies, resale business owners and "thrifting" fashion bloggers. We enjoy thrifting at thrift, consignment and vintage shops. Through our in-person events including monthly thrift shopping bus tours, fashion swaps and our annual Thrifting Atlanta Fashion Week, we spread the joy and art of thrifting in the city we affectionately call home: ATLANTA!
The bus tours are a great way for thrifting newbies and experts, to learn more about the great thrift stores in Atlanta. We travel on a chauffeured bus to shop up to ten thrift, vintage and consignments stores on one weekend (Saturday and Sunday) each month. Shoppers enjoy exclusive discounts at each store and get a bag lunch too. But most importantly are the friendships developed during the day.
Last weekend we visited the following stores:
InTown Thrift, Goodwill Piedmont Store, Alexis Suitcase Consignment Buckhead, Out of the Closet Thrift Stores, My Best Friend's Closet Consignment, Ecologie Vintage, Cherokee Rose Shoppe, Buckhead Thriftique and Goodwill Johns Creek.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I love to shop at thrift shops and I always find something I'm least expecting there! I love that purple dress you found very dapper!
ReplyDeleteA thrifting bus tour?! Now that sounds awesome! I have to drive a pretty good distance to get to any good thrift stores in my state...unfortunately. Maybe I should set up my own bus tour :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I want to join y'all next time! What an amazing time! I also want to up my game in thrifting. You keep finding all these fabulous things and I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun time. You all got fantastic buys! That's not my luck at all, though, not a little bit.

ReplyDeleteThrifting Atlanta sounds so neat! I love thrifting. I got a super nice leather Banana Republic jacket from a thrift store for $12 once. I'm so glad you have a community to enjoy your hobby with!
ReplyDeleteI adore thrift stores! I find the most interesting (and inexpensive) things there that I can use for projects. I've never heard of a thrift store tour -- I want to go on one now!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh thrifting in big areas is the best! I live in a small town these days so thrifting isn't as fabulous here lol
ReplyDeleteSome great deals. I really love that sweater with the Sequins!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know a thrifting bus tour existed! I just lived in a really little town and one thing I fell in love with there was thrifting! I'd love to do a thrifting tour!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know something like that was a thing! What great finds at Goodwill. Our's has nothing like that here.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like so much fun! I didn't even know thrift tours were a thing! I hope someone organises something like this in London - I'd love to go :)
ReplyDeleteSuper jealous of this tour!!! We have barely any thrift shops here and the ones we do have are nothing like this!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love thrift shopping. There are a few thrift stores in our area that I love to visit. You can really get some great deals at thrift stores. I would like those lamps that you had pictured on here for myself. I am currently in the market for some floor lamps, too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fun! Thrifts stores are really cool especially ones in other places other than your own city. I love how you included so many pictures!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it was such an amazing tour. I love to go thrifting and so this would be great for me!
ReplyDeleteYou can find some of the best things in thrift stores. It is amazing that they have a tour for something like this!
