Style On A Budget: Goodwill (Hunting!)

Welcome back to Campus Meets Community! Today on the blog is my favorite subject - STYLE.
Over the weekend, I spent a little time at Goodwill. After donating some of my old clothes, it was great to see that they had so many options for me to purchase, too.
I know, I know. Why donate your clothing only to buy more? Well, that is the beauty of the situation.
One, you are donating to a great cause. And two, you can de-clutter your own closet and look for new, affordable items to update your look.
Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom! Helping others, saving money, looking great; what's not to like?
I wanted to create an edited segment about how second-hand clothing is a great option for a college student. If you need an outfit for a job interview or a Friday night on the town, Goodwill has got your back.
Don't believe me? Check out my video below for some affordable, style inspiration.
***Please scroll down past the video for more information about Goodwill locations close to you and how to donate. You will not be disappointed, friends.
Donate
At a lot of Goodwill locations, you do not even have to get out your vehicle to donate your items. Today most locations have a drive-thru drop off. If they do not, all you need to do is go inside and drop off your items.
If you need a receipt for a tax refund, they will provide you with one. If you do not, shop around or head home. Donating is as easy as that!
Save
As I mentioned in the video, the different colored tags represent the "color of the week."
For example next week February 14th through the 20th, the color of the week is blue!
All blue-tagged items are 50% off. Colors change every Sunday.
