Emily, a CG! beauty intern, loves to shop vintage. Here, she’s modeling her own finds!

THRIFT-Y TIPS

TIME IT RIGHT: Go at the beginning of spring and fall. That’s when most people clean out their closets and drop off unwanted pieces.

SCOOP IT UP: Clothes with broken zippers, long hems, or missing buttons are cheap — and easy fixes!

PASS IT UP: Cracked leather, items with rips not on a seam (they’re hard to sew), and anything smelly.

ACCESSORIZE! Rhinestone jewelry, designer scarves, leather boots, and hard-case clutches will complete your classic look.
