266: What 20 Years of Thrifting Teaches You About Finding Great Vintage, feat. Beth Jones

Twenty years of thrifting can completely change what you notice on the racks. Fashion creator and stylist Beth Jones shares how decades of studying vintage fashion, designers, runways, and personal style have shaped the way she finds extraordinary secondhand pieces.

Beth takes host Maggie Scivicque through her journey from childhood rummage sales and the early days of fashion blogging to becoming one of the early creators filming thrift shopping for YouTube. Along the way, she shares some unforgettable vintage finds, including a tagless Vivienne Westwood cardigan, a '90s Norma Kamali suit, and an incredible Cope Copine dress.
