Alexa Chung’s New PBS Series Teach You How To Thrift In Style

Do you think you’re one of those girls who always looks at a perfectly-put-together vintage ensemble and thinks, “Certainly, it looks wonderful on her, but I’d never manage to pull that off?” Then consider Alexa Chung your new fairygodmother of found and thrifted fashion.

The previous host of MTV’s It’s On With Alexa Chung is getting one more television series, based on this weekday’s newpapers, and she’ll be showing loyal followers how to snag her much-copied fashion at their local flea places and secondhand stores.

Here’s what the Times has to say about it: “Scheduled to be broadcast on PBS next summer, ‘Thrift America’ might introduce Ms. Chung to a larger segment of the nation. On the show, she and Maya Singer, the series creator and the editor of special projects for Style, will comb the country’s consignment shops, garage sales and flea markets for old clothing, furniture, music equipment and other potential treasures to use in various creative endeavors.

A few of the places they plan to visit include Orlando, Detroit, Nashville, Alabama and Brooklyn (and, on a less populist note, fashion capitals like Paris and London as well).Think of it as ‘Antiques Roadshow’ meets the foodie romp ‘Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.’ Ms. Singer said viewers hoping to replicate Ms. Chung’s high-low style will see firsthand, ‘What does Alexa Chung pull out of the crap bin at the yard sale?’”

I’ll most positively be tuning in, not just because I’m a complete vintage compulsive, but as I am, in reality, dying to see “what Alexa Chung pulls out of the crap bin at a yard sale.” Her quirky British style might be completely her own, but that doesn’t mean I’m unable to steal some bits of inspiration from it!

Do you think you’re dolls large fans of thrifting and vintage shopping? As I think, Alexa Chung is seriously my all time favorite person! I am so obsessive about her and her style.
