With the flick of the bangs and a wink of the eye, Justin Bieber has already gotten you to fall in love with him.

OK, that may not be the case for everyone, but for the large population of Bieber fans out there, this whole schtick has moved millions of units of Justin Bieber merchandise from the stores into the bedrooms of the average 9-year-old girl, or maybe the average 19-year-old girl. For every critic of the Bieber machine, there are tens of thousands of “Beliebers” willing to defend their mop-haired puppy – armed with their Bieber screen tees and matching duvet covers.

I see so many fashion bloggers who wear thrifted clothes that it’s ridiculous. How can one be so stylish and yet be so economically conscious at the same time?

This is a conundrum that is more my speed, frugality-wise, so in this week’s Fashion or Whatever column, I discover the thrills of thrifting, and venture into one of Los Angeles’ best places for cheap vintage clothes, Jet Rag’s Sunday dollar sales. And I sure did realize how much people were so into thrifting. Especially hipsters.

So, what are your experiences thrifting?
