I am not and have never been a woman who cared about name brands, handbags, heels or fashion in general. When I shop It's about what looks good on my body and how much it costs. The majority of the clothes in my closet are "pre-owned" and I'm proud of it. I shop at consignment stores like Plato's Closet or Hut No. 8. I also shop resale sites like Bookoo and Craigslist to get awesome deals on lightly worn and NEW clothing at a fraction of the cost. Often times a seller will be offering their items as a lot. I ask to view the pieces and if I like more than half and the price is fair, I'll buy it, donating or reselling what I don't want. It's pretty fun. The dress I'm wearing in this photo came from a lot of 20 items I purchased for $10, two weeks ago off a local resale site on Facebook. There were a few "like new" dresses and coats included in the lot that were just not my style, so I donated them to a local outreach in my town.
Bargain shopping is so much fun and you just never know what kind of unique items you'll find. Plus, buying second hand items has environmental and economic benefits. For more information on how, see the infograph below!
