As 2018 comes to an end, I wanted to choose my New Year resolution based on what is attainable and positive. I have decided it is my “follow-through”. In my heart and in my head I’ve had good ideas but I let my fears or negative energy get in the way. Now don’t get me…
Belt It Out
Belts are a fun accessory. They can add color or sparkle to your look. They’re great at the illusion of adding length or a flattering shape to your silhouette. Experiment with different widths. Wide belts can cinch in your waist and emphasize a sexier shape. Have a shorter upper torso? Try a thinner belt to…
Wear It With Flair
Pins are great. They can be affordable. They can dress up or dress down whatever you are wearing. They can be big and showy or small and understated. There are pins for hats, for scarves, for lapels, there is no limit to what a pin can say for you and where you want to say…
Nightwear With Flair
I have to confess, my new obsession is selling vintage and designer lingerie. The reseller market is flooded with so many people selling outerwear. I enjoy finding a somewhat narrower market with a fun appeal. I’ve been able to find some really nice designer pieces from Oscar de la Renta and Christian Dior as well…
Thinking of secondhand reselling?
In the reseller game, it’s hard to know how well you will do unless you just jump in and do it. Start with what makes you comfortable. You don’t have to put a lot of money in at first if you can’t or don’t want to. Sell some unwanted or unused items from around your…
Make Your Bed
Cleaning and Ironing. Not a lot of other things on your to-do list can elicit the same emotion. The deep sigh. The neck roll. The “but I’d rather be…” thoughts that get thrown around in your head. But let’s face it. Sometimes you have to do it. If you’re one of the lucky ones with…
Rainy Days
To me, rainy days are normally great days to thrift. Less traffic. Less number of people resourcing, nice and quiet! But this weekend was different. Time to do some much needing cleaning. · Cleaning out storage areas. · Cleaning out death piles. · Cleaning stale listings. First big tackle was the storage areas. Not just…
Reselling is about the end game
I love all the resellers that have been so open and sharing their do’s, don’ts, and mistakes on reselling. They’ve been helpful and are still helping me to grow as a reseller. There are so many videos and channels now that you can narrow by platform, by category and by regional area. The only thing…
List, Sell, Rinse, Repeat
List, Sell, Rinse, Repeat Everyone talks about analytics for resellers but most people can’t tell you about specifics. I’m no different. I can’t give magic words but I can tell you what helps. List, sell, rinse, repeat. List. List daily. Even if it’s just a 3-5 items. Do this daily. Most resellers have a death…
Start Small But Dream Big!
It’s ok to start small but dream big. I’m sometimes afraid to take that leap unless I know I’ll have a safe landing on the other side. That feeling is both a blessing and a curse. I want to be that person that can feel confidence in my actions more often. Most sourcing days I’ll…
