DFW Thrift Stores That I LOVE My thrift style has become my signature, and lately a lot of people have been asking lately about where I thrift here in the DFW. I am an avid thrifter, and although I can't brag about having gone to every thrift store in the Dallas / Fort Worth area (I'm close to achieving that, though!), I just have to share with y'all my favorite ones that I visit quite often!
