Review of Thrift Town

This piece is a creative collage of a day of shopping at a local thrift store. The audio of the trip is mixed with blunt commentary by Lauren Silverstone. The piece not only explores the wacky aisles of a second hand clothing store, but also the individuality which comes with clothes which stray away from the mainstream clothing chains. Rather than spending money on overpriced, mass produced clothes identical their friends, these teens express and enjoy themselves by snapping photos of their friends in outrageous outfits and purchasing inexpensive and one of a kind clothing.
