Thrifting Tips From A Former Full Time Reseller
If you didn't know by now, I'm a clothing reseller! If you're not familiar with the term, chances are you have seen or purchased something from a reseller before. If you've shopped at a consignment store, pawn shop, boutique, eBay, or even your local grocery store, you've purchased from a reseller. A reseller is exactly what the title describes: A person or company that sells something they have bought to someone else.
I might be wrong, but I feel like clothing-specific resellers have become even more popular the last 5-10 years. My method of sourcing items to sell is 95% from Salvation Army, Goodwill, and other local thrift stores.
As I've grown my reselling business and it's become my full time job, there's a lot that I've learned along the way to help me increase my profit margins and find the best items. While you might not be interested in becoming a reseller yourself, the tips I'm sharing are helpful even when shopping for yourself!

Spring 2023 Capsule Wardrobe
Now that it's finally feeling like Spring in Ohio (next week will be 60s-70s everyday, eeek!) I'm doing the whole "Spring cleaning" thing in almost every spot in my home, starting with my closet. I've recently purchased a few things I've had my heart set on for a while and it's inspired me to go through some old pieces of clothing and really think about if I still love them and will wear them this Spring & Summer.
Because I have so many staple pieces already that you already know about and likely own too (black joggers and leggings, for example) there is a lot outside of this list that I'll be sporting this Spring. The items I'll be covering in this post are either A) recent purchases or B) things I still want/need. Also keep in mind that I'll be trying to buy secondhand first, because I can't tell you how many times I've had something on my ISO (in search of) list that I put in an online cart and ended up finding at the thrift store a few days or weeks later. If I can't find it at a thrift or consignment store, then it forces me to think "Is this item worth paying retail for?" or even "Is this something that I still believe will complete my wardrobe and I'll get lots of use out of?"
