Meet Jess, a first-year Arts student at the University of Waterloo who has a knack for thrift shopping. Coming from a small town, she’s excited about her new life on campus but often finds herself daydreaming about luxury items that are out of her budget, like a Michael Kors bag. Jess spends her weekends exploring flea markets and local boutiques, hoping to find hidden treasures that reflect her unique style without breaking the bank. Despite her playful frustration, she believes that fashion doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
