The saga continues.

  1. America’s poorest—having no other options due to the financial restrictions of having lots of kids and being on unemployment—shop at Thrift Town, Salvation Army, and Goodwill.
  2. America’s youth—wanting to look ‘cool’ and ‘poor’—shop at Thrift Town, Salvation Army, and Goodwill.
  3. America’s richest—seeing what America’s youth are wearing—create designer versions of thrift store outfits thus fueling the image-fashion economy for the next six to eighteen months.
  4. Middle America’s retailers—taking their cues from the fashion of the time—purchase reasonably-priced, much-less-cool versions of designer versions of the thrift store outfits.
  5. As prevailing fashion trends change, these clothes are piled collectively on closet floors until the kids move off to college or graduate college and move to the city. Their parents donate them to Thrift Town, Salvation Army, and Goodwill.
  6. America’s poorest—having no other options due to the financial restrictions of having lots of kids and being on unemployment—shop at Thrift Town, Salvation Army, and Goodwill.
