Given that last Tuesday was National Thrift Shop Day it only seemed appropriate to acknowledge some great vintage boutiques and thrift shops in Miami. By buying from used clothes stores you can do your part in helping the environment without sacrificing style. Furthermore, you are making a statement: you have chosen to buy from a local instead of a huge company and you have chosen to save natural resources by buying used.

Miami has some great options for the eco curious fashionistas. Of course you have the Salvation Army and Good Will Stores which allow you to find clothes, accessories, and even furniture while helping a good cause. You can also do even more for the environment by donating used and unwanted clothes to these stores instead of just throwing them away.
