Lindsay’s Fashion Blog: The Goodwill Project

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Every so often I will come across a blog that is so innovative and inspiring I must tell someone about it! A friend of mine showed me this blog called thegoodwillproject.com. She usually shows me blogs or links and with me being busy I glance at it but will look at it in my spare time. Not this blog, I looked at it and realized what it was and it was probably one of the coolest sites I have seen this year!

Essentially two young women have taken on the challenge of incorporating one article of clothing into their wardrobe from a Goodwill thrift store. This can be quite a challenge to those who don’t wear thrift store clothes but this is an excellent opportunity to do so and just jump in with these women. After going through their outfits I applaud them for this because I am such a strong advocate of thrift store shopping.  But more so, just to try new things as it forces you to think differently about how you put your clothes together. Plus it’s a bit cheaper if you are looking for other ways to save money. So if you’re already iffy or doubtful about trying thrift store clothes look to these women for inspiration. Just give it a try!
