I’ve been thrifting for a little over two years now, and what started as a hobby has grown into a small business. I resell many of my gently used finds on the Poshmark app.
I usually walk away with at least a few great pieces, but on this trip, I truly scored some gems!
• Vince Camuto Leather Tote
Currently retailing for $109, this bag is made of genuine leather, lightweight, and features a beautiful cognac color with a bold black stripe down the center. My price? $4.99.
• Earth Shoes Leather Sandals
These typically retail between $80–$120. They’re real leather and in excellent condition—barely worn, if at all. I picked them up for $7.99.
• Talbots Collection Plaid Blazer
A vintage, menswear-inspired beauty. Similar blazers currently retail for $80–$170. It was priced at $4.99 at Goodwill, but I snagged it for $2.50 with the half-off discount.
With a little digging and a lot of patience, you can uncover amazing pieces at a fraction of retail prices. Shopping second-hand is not only budget-friendly, but it also supports environmental and social sustainability.
