When my friend and thrifting soulmate, Charlotte (@clothingreincarnated), proposed taking a thrifting road trip together I said YES before she told me where we’d be going- but when she said the destination was SAINT JOHN, I was ALL IN! You see, I was born in the Port City, so the opportunity to head back to my hometown for a sourcing trip was too good to pass up. This would be a trip down memory lane in more ways than one!
Before leaving on our journey we mapped out our ideal shopping route and were VERY pleasantly surprised by the number of thrift shops available in the area. We were initially drawn to the Out’fits stores (which we both followed on Instagram) and built our route around checking out their 2 locations. We discovered in the week before coming to town that they were actually opening a 3rd location in the Kennebecasis Valley during our visit- what perfect timing!
