Thrift w Me! I spend $7.31 on inventory to resell in my bookshop!



 I am so grateful I had today off from my new job. It's inspired me more to focus on my business. I really need to list! I couldn't help but go out and thrift, it's the one thing I look forward to every week so I'm not too hard on myself. I was lucky, clothes were .25 cents!! I think I found some cute things I can flip.

I got 3 tops: a black ruffle dress (feels super gothic lolita, emo Y2k), a fairycore reinsanssance top with this trippy design, lace, ruffles, this is super cute, and a No Boundries top that's super cute but perfect for Halloween - it has skulls and roses. 

Next I did get some books of course! I noticed they had restocked some shelves!!

Edit: The skull and rose print shirt sold on Mercari! I spent $17 thrifting this week, so the profits from that sale went to paying off what I thrifted.
