POPSUGAR: Tell us about yourself.
Taelor Schermann: I'm currently living in Chicago. I have been thrifting since about 2009 and have grown so much over the years finding new reasons to love it. Thrifting aside, I'm also a photographer and have a huge love for nature, anything horror-related, and exploring new places.
PS: What makes you pick up a piece of clothing when you are thrifting?
TS: I usually gravitate toward the style of a piece: mainly pieces that are '90s or earlier. My favorite things to go for right away are usually floral patterned dresses or pretty lingerie and nightgowns that date as far back as the 1920s.
PS: What is the best thing you've ever thrifted?
TS: I have so many favorite things I've thrifted, but I think my top favorite would be a T-shirt I have for "The Shining" movie. It's a promo shirt for when it was first aired on ABC in 1996.
PS: What are your predictions for the future of thrifting?
TS: I think thrifting in the future will be great, especially with how much it has grown and brought interest to so many new people within just the past year. There's an unbelievable amount of clothes to go around, and it's always so exciting being able to pick something up that's no longer made. I honestly don't think anything bad could come out of it; every small bit is helping the planet and keeping mountains of clothes out of the landfills.
