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
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?"
