Thrift Wth Me // Western inspired clothes & books to resell

This post originally appeared on Wordpress September 4, 2020.

Hey everyone I got some more books this Thursday for my bookstore but I’m also adding vintage clothes that go with my brand. I think you’ll love what I found.

The first items I picked up were this tye dye cardigan and turtleneck shawl/poncho and this fairy cardigan? Actually what is the proper term for this type of top? I don’t normally pick up the dye but I couldn’t resist the material.

Then I walked over to the books and found:

Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Womens Literary Society (2012), Arthur & George (2005), Napoleon (1993), Art and History of Pompeii, and a vintage book called The Spirit of Liberty.

I browsed a small section dedicated to dressy blazers and coat jackets and found the most amazing horse jacket and suede jacket. The word that came to mind was moccasin, so I just love these two pieces.

I always check the shoe racks and never find anything I like but this time was different. Shoes everywhere. Most importantly boots. I got 5 pairs of shoes, and I’m keeping some because I actually only have one pair of boots – my trusty brown combat boots that sadly have seen better days.

I picked up this beautiful vintage skirt for the navy blue and the pretty design at the bottom.

Someone must have handmade this and donated it, it’s a resin necklace with a bible quote.

And this handbag because it fooled me, thought it was going to be like a Dooney & Bourke purse but no, it just looks like that brand. C

I spent more money than ever thrifting, $61.10. I’m expanding into clothes and I’m nervous about the investment. But I trust I found some beautiful items, I’m so lucky to have found them.

Which item was your favorite? Sorry the photos aren’t the best but I noticed you guys love these posts so I wanted to try extra harder to add photos.

Its Friday and I plan to take my weekend to relax and make a lot of food! I have another haul coming up soon or you can check out my previous thrift with me videos. Until next time! Bye!!

Edit: Grey Poncho sold. Still haven't made my money back from this investment.

What Sold Oct 8-14 // I turned $4.25 into $75.57

Did I do better than the week before? I barely listed any items. Days went by where I didn't list. I had sales on all 3 platforms. My COG was free. adidas Boys track jacket, small child 7/8, outdoors winter workout =$3.91 AUTOGRAPHED America : Imagine a World Without Her, Dinesh D'Souza non fiction = $4.35 1970's football dolphins steelers nonfiction biography vintage NFL sports books = $1.31 colleen hoover books bundle paperback thriller bestseller = $8.09 Dorothy wizard of oz Halloween costume cosplay blue gingham dress = $12.42 Oathblood Mercedes Lackey paperback vintage used book fantasy =$1.99 A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas = $7.50 Y2k denim overbust shrug / bolero asymmetrical = $40.25 $79.82 - $4.25 COG = $75.57 These are the kind of weeks I like as a hobbiest/ side hustle. $80-$200 a week is preferable. But there's a LOT of work into reselling, you should set your goals higher. $100 a day.

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari. The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari / The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear. I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
