My Personal Journey
ThriftStarPlanet is a way for me to share my personal fashion journey and inspire others. Growing up, I loved making extravagant outfits with whatever I could find in my mother’s closet. She didn’t know it, but her style was timeless, and I still wear some of her pieces today. Later, I learned she had done the same with her mom, my Grammy, which touched my heart. Clothing shouldn't just be something bought to follow trends; it should carry value and soul across generations.
I want to be able to pass down the same pieces to my future children – pieces my Grammy wore, my mother wore, and that now live in my closet. Even if they don’t fit perfectly, finding ways to restyle and repurpose clothing is an art form that deserves more attention.
Growing up in a low-income home, expanding my wardrobe was often a challenge. My mom would take me thrifting, which felt normal to me, but other kids would judge when they found out my clothes weren’t brand new from the mall. That embarrassment in high school made me more determined to find my own unique style. By college, I mastered the art of thrifting and re-styling pieces in ways that shocked people when they found out where they were from.
Now, I want to share this lifelong fashion journey with you, offering tips and tricks for building a sustainable wardrobe with ease, and exploring all the things I continue to learn along the way.
