Yes, you can go to thrift stores and find some teaching-appropriate clothing! Most of the thrift stores I go to don't have professional clothing at all but eventually you find one that works. Yesterday a friend and I went to the local Goodwill and found quite a number of pieces that we can wear when Practicum starts.
For this trip, I already owned the red top but all the dresses and skirts are new!
In the end I spent $26 for 7 items. That is less than $4 an item to be sure so, while I'm always bummed about spending money like that, it was a good haul!
If you're like me and need a total overhaul of your wardrobe to make it professional after being a student your whole life (or even if you want a fresh look) a local thrift store is a great option!
