All that I've discovered about Thrift and Trendi

Agreed. I wish you could just buy individual clothing items like you can at a real thrift store. The option to do outfits is nice, but I really just like the jacket or pants or whatever, you know? It would be great if it worked like Nifty Knitting, where it's unlocked for the whole household once you obtain it - maybe they could add that someday.
