The Talk: Dissecting the World of Thrifting

Safiya Azam, Marli Field, and Wendy Le
November 3, 2023

Hosted by: Safiya Azam and Marli Field

Edited by: Wendy Le

Thrifting does not suit many. It offers an overwhelming variety of clothes, shoes, accessories, jewelry and numerous other items. However, with the right guidance, decoding the thrifting world may be easier than you would think. However, its original concept as an accessible and affordable place for those who rely on it out of necessity has become distorted over the years. 

In this episode, The Sidekick staff writer Marli Field and designer Safiya Azam will uncover their thrifting tips to help others navigate through a sea of choices, the rise of thrifting over the years and its effect on local thrift stores. 

Follow along our podcast with ⁠transcript⁠.

Wendy Le
Wendy Le, Executive Social Media Editor
Wendy Le is in her third year in The Sidekick as a senior and the executive social media editor. Throughout her time in this program, she’s found joy in doing things and going to places she never thought she would’ve: standing on the sidelines, in the back of the Black Box Theatre, political rallies, learning how to use Adobe, taking photos, making social media graphics and writing features.  Le does have hobbies outside of D115. When she’s not scouring to get things edited or feeding The Sidekick social media accounts, she likes to brain rot on TikTok, craft new Pinterest boards, go thrifting and take photos on her digital camera. If you see her in person, she is likely to “meow” at you (unironically).  You can contact her at [email protected] for any inquiries.
