Ilhan Omar responded to her tweet, writing that “thrifting is the Straight outta black shirt But I will love this way to go” and that she specializes in “$50 or less outfits.” She even offered to pick up a scarf from a Somali shop in her district for Bush to wear. Rep. Rashida Tlaib wrote that she still wears “some of my maternity clothes under those blazers,” before adding that she gets the most compliments from her thrift shop finds. Ocasio-Cortez chimed in too, writing about her strategy of “thrifting, renting, and patience” for building a congressional wardrobe. It was a welcoming gesture, but also a signal to other working class women looking to ascend to elected office one day: You belong here, too. And companies took notice as well. thredUP, a popular online thrift store, started The Hill Thrift Box just days after Bush’s tweet, inspired by her and Ocasio-Cortez. When you order the new box, thredUP will send you a personalized style box filled with workwear items, essentially a secondhand Stitch Fix. “For every thrifted outfit on the Hill, we’ll save 35 pounds of carbon,” the company announced. Erin Wallace, VP of integrated marketing at the company, told ELLE.com via email that the popular tweet made them realize “these leaders have a relatable problem: new job, new dress code.” She said, “It’s amazing to see women having candid conversations about thrifting as a way to rotate their wardrobes without waste.

Bush seems keenly aware of the power of publicly embracing thrifting; the day after her original tweet, she shared her finds in a Twitter thread that doubled as a fashion show. Bush modeled her new pieces, walking to Beyoncé and Cardi B, with captions that laid out the hard, sometimes unspoken, truths of being in Congress: She then thanked her “siSTARS,” the members of The Squad, for their support. What began as a discussion about wardrobe tips turned into a reflection on who these leaders are—women that more closely resemble the constituents they’re representing—and what they believe in—not shying away from their congressional struggles, financial or otherwise, or their sisterhood. Rep. Grace Meng, who also responded to Bush’s tweet with a suggestion for a consignment shop in Washington D.C., told ELLE.com that standing up for one another is essential. “Many of us didn’t grow up seeing people we knew in suits or clothes that congressmembers wear,” she said. “For many of us, we don’t have connections to luxurious designers to borrow clothes or accessories or budgets to afford high end items, and we don’t need it either…Like others before her, Cori is demystifying Congress and showing anyone can succeed, including by thrifting.
