Thrift or Treat: Spooky Finds & Secondhand Costumes That Slay







Halloween is just around the corner, and there’s no better way to get in the spooky spirit than by hunting for vintage Halloween treasures! Whether you’re looking to deck out your own family in one-of-a-kind costumes or snag unique finds to resell, thrifting is where the magic begins. Walking into a thrift store this season feels like opening a treasure chest — you never know what quirky, retro gems you’ll discover. 

 One of the biggest perks of thrifting for Halloween is the chance to find costumes that stand out. Forget mass-produced plastic masks or generic outfits — vintage pieces have character, charm, and sometimes even that perfect touch of nostalgia. For families, it’s a thrill to explore racks with your kids, letting them pick out something they’ve never seen before. Watching their faces light up over a sparkly cape or a classic witch hat is part of the joy of the season. For resellers, thrifted Halloween outfits are pure gold. Vintage costumes are highly sought after, especially ones from the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s. The best part? With a little creativity and care, these finds can be turned into listings that fly off your virtual shelves. Kids’ costumes, adult costumes, and even quirky accessories can all become profitable inventory — and the hunt itself becomes a fun seasonal adventure. Plus, thrifting is sustainable, budget-friendly, and endlessly fun. You get the thrill of the chase, the joy of finding something unique for yourself or your family, and the opportunity to turn your finds into profit. So grab a tote bag, hit your local thrift shops, and see what Halloween treasures await. Whether it’s for a fun night of dress-up or a resale hustle, thrifting this spooky season is a win-win!

Build a Fall Capsule Wardrobe from Thrift Finds (Yes, Really)

Build a Fall Capsule Wardrobe from Thrift Finds (Yes, Really)

 




Fall is the season of layers, textures, and cozy vibes — and the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank. Thrifting allows you to curate a capsule collection that’s intentional, stylish, and sustainable. Start with three versatile basics: a neutral sweater, dark denim, and a classic jacket. Then, layer in statement pieces that scream personality — a patterned scarf, a vintage blazer, or a bold print blouse. Top it off with one unforgettable accessory, like gold boots or a standout necklace. Shopping with purpose is the trick. Focus on timeless fabrics like wool, cotton, and leather, and avoid pieces that won’t last. Capsule wardrobes aren’t just efficient; they make every outfit feel intentional and every thrift find feel like a victory. This fall, I’m challenging you to shop smarter, style boldly, and embrace sustainability. When you know what you love and what works, you spend less, feel confident, and let your wardrobe reflect you.

Balancing Business & Family When You Work from Home

Balancing Business & Family When You Work from Home




Working from home is a dream — until the chaos of laundry, snacks, and constant interruptions reminds you it’s not always peaceful. As a mom, wife, and entrepreneur, I’ve learned that balance doesn’t mean doing it all at once. It’s about focusing on what truly matters and showing up with intention.

Creating dedicated business hours transformed my days. I treat my reselling hours like a professional job: I clock in, stay laser-focused, and clock out. This allows me to be fully present with my family while keeping my business on track. The separation of work and home life isn’t just helpful — it’s essential.

Flexibility is key. Some days are all about sourcing, listing, and shipping; other days are packed with school pickups and household chaos. The real magic? Giving yourself grace. Pivot when needed without guilt, because being both CEO and homemaker is no small feat, and both roles deserve recognition.

Remember: balance isn’t perfection. It’s a practice. It’s showing up with purpose, honoring your priorities, and realizing that doing a little bit well is more powerful than doing everything at once.

The Entrepreneur’s Edge: Mindset Shifts That Boost Your Reselling Income

The Entrepreneur’s Edge: Mindset Shifts That Boost Your Reselling Income

 


Its time to make the MINDSET shift!

If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I just resell on the side,” it’s time to drop the just. Reselling is not some casual side project—it’s a real business. One that demands strategy, consistency, and vision. When I first started, I treated it as something small—something to fill in the gaps. But over time, I realized that the real difference between making a few extra dollars and building a profitable reselling brand wasn’t about luck or finding the perfect thrift score—it was about mindset. The moment I started treating my reselling work like a business instead of a hobby, everything changed.

The first major shift came with routine. Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for motivation—they build structure. Creating a schedule that honors your business hours can transform how productive you feel. Dedicating time blocks for listing, sourcing, shipping, or even photo prep brings order to what can easily become chaos. Whether it’s a few hours a day or specific days of the week, consistency compounds. Once I set boundaries around my work time, I stopped feeling like I was “catching up” and started feeling like I was running things.

The second mindset shift is about money—specifically, how you use it. In the beginning, it’s easy to see every sale as extra spending cash. But if you want growth, you have to reinvest. Every dollar that goes back into better lighting, photo setups, shipping supplies, or automation tools is a seed that will grow future profits. Entrepreneurs understand that reinvestment is not losing money—it’s multiplying potential. When I started setting aside a percentage of my profit to pour back into my business, my operations became smoother, faster, and ultimately more profitable.

Then there’s the power of knowing your numbers. Data is every entrepreneur’s secret weapon. Tracking your cost of goods, sell-through rates, and profit margins may sound tedious, but it’s the roadmap to scaling efficiently. The moment I began analyzing my average sale price and time-to-sell metrics, I stopped sourcing blindly and started sourcing smart. I learned which brands consistently brought returns, which items lagged, and which platforms performed best for certain categories. Entrepreneurs don’t guess—they make informed decisions based on data, and that’s exactly how you gain an edge in reselling.

Another critical shift is letting go of comparison. It’s tempting to scroll through other resellers’ feeds and measure your progress against theirs, but comparison steals your energy and blinds you to your own path. Every reseller’s journey is unique, shaped by their location, sourcing style, and life circumstances. Instead of feeling behind, start asking better questions: What are they doing that’s working? What systems can I adapt to fit my business? The goal isn’t to copy—it’s to evolve. The only person you should compete with is the version of yourself from last month.

Finally, think long-term. Quick flips are exciting, but sustainable success requires patience and foresight. Every listing, photo, and caption contributes to your brand identity. Consider what kind of business you want to build over the next year. Do you want repeat buyers who trust your quality? A curated shop that people recognize instantly? Or a side hustle that becomes your full-time income? The choices you make today—about pricing, packaging, and professionalism—are the foundation of that future.

The truth is, I didn’t learn these lessons overnight. There were times I was inconsistent, overwhelmed, or unsure of what direction to go. But once I shifted my mindset—started treating this as a serious business instead of something small—my confidence grew, my systems strengthened, and my income followed. I stopped waiting for things to take off and started acting like the entrepreneur I wanted to become.

Reselling isn’t just about finding great deals; it’s about building something sustainable, something that reflects your values and ambition. You don’t need permission to think big—you just need to start showing up like the boss you already are. So set your hours, track your numbers, reinvest wisely, and keep your eyes on the bigger picture. You’re not “just reselling.” You’re creating something real—and that’s what gives you the entrepreneur’s edge.

So lets do this, lets build an empire together! Start today, and fight for what is important in your life!

Finding the Diamond in the Rough: High-End, Findable Brands Worth Sourcing

Finding the Diamond in the Rough: High-End, Findable Brands Worth Sourcing

 



If you’ve been in the reselling game for any amount of time, you know that not all brands are created equal. Luxury labels like Gucci and Chanel may sound glamorous, but they’re rarely sitting on a thrift store rack. The real goldmine? High-end, findable brands—those premium labels you can actually source secondhand that hold serious resale value.

In this article, we're breaking down which brands are worth your attention, why they’re top-tier for resellers, and how they stack up against lower-tier or fast fashion brands.


πŸ’‘ What Makes a Brand High-End & Findable?

  • Consistent resale value (even pre-loved)

  • Quality construction and fabrics

  • Loyal buyer base

  • Actually findable at thrift stores, estate sales, or online sourcing platforms


πŸ”₯ Top Findable High-End Brands

1. Eileen Fisher

Why it’s a winner: Sustainable, timeless, and inclusive sizing.
What to look for: Linen, silk, and plus-size styles.
Resale price: $30–$100+

What to look for: Align leggings, Define jackets, newer styles.
Resale price: $30–$120


Why Not Just Sell Mall Brands?

Mall brands—otherwise known as fast fashion—may be easy flips, but they usually:
  • Don’t hold long-term value

  • Saturate the market quickly

  • Have lower profit margins

  • Require frequent price drops to sell

  • Attract buyers looking for deep discounts

By focusing on higher-end, findable brands, you sell smarter—not harder. Higher average sales mean fewer listings, less shipping, and better margins.


✅ Quick Tips for Sourcing

  • Prioritize natural fabrics: wool, linen, silk.

  • Look for unique pieces or limited collections.

  • Plus sizes and career wear sell faster.

  • Use sold comps before pricing.


πŸ› Final Thoughts

There are tons of resellable brands out there, but these are the ones that have consistently worked well for me. They balance accessibility with resale value, making them ideal if you're trying to grow a profitable, sustainable reselling business. Whether you're shopping local thrift stores, estate sales, or online sourcing platforms, keeping an eye out for these high-end, findable brands can seriously level up your sales.

When sourcing inventory, it’s important to look at what’s local to you—what your area tends to buy and what brands are regionally available. For example, I’m from the Midwest, where we like to stay warm. Because of that, I often see cold-weather gear and rugged workwear brands in high demand. We also have access to more locally-based companies like Lands’ End, Duluth Trading Company, and Thorogood Boots, which are all headquartered in or near Wisconsin. Other Midwest brands with strong local appeal include Stormy Kromer (known for their iconic wool caps), Carhartt (a Detroit-based favorite for durable workwear), and even children's brands like OshKosh B'Gosh. While I don’t source from all of these, being aware of what local warehouses produce or what brands regularly show up in your bins can give you a sourcing edge. For instance, we see a lot of Lands’ End at our local bins. I don’t grab everything, but I’ll selectively pick high-quality pieces like cashmere sweaters or premium outerwear. Knowing your local market and sourcing accordingly helps you curate inventory that aligns with what your buyers are actually looking for.

πŸ‘‰ If you're just getting started or want to refine your sourcing strategy, save this list and build your inventory around brands that move fast and sell for more.

 Why Sourcing at the Bins is Actually So Much Fun!

Why Sourcing at the Bins is Actually So Much Fun!



If you’re part of the reseller or thrift-loving community, you’ve probably heard of “the bins.” But if you haven’t been yet—or you’re unsure whether it’s your thing—let me tell you why I genuinely love sourcing at my local bins (and why you just might, too!).

For starters, my bins are connected to our local St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores. Once clothing and other items go unsold at the regular retail thrift shops, they get sent to what’s called the “outlet,” or what most resellers refer to as “the bins.” Here, items are sold by the pound instead of individually priced—and at my local bins, it’s just $1.50 per pound. That means I can walk out with a bag full of clothing for the cost of a single fast fashion top from a big box store.

But it’s not just about the savings—it’s the thrill of the hunt.

The bins are like a giant, chaotic treasure chest. Clothes are dumped into large blue bins and rotated throughout the day. You never know what you’re going to find, which keeps the experience exciting and unpredictable. I’ve scored everything from vintage Levi’s to Anthropologie dresses, designer denim, and even rare Y2K pieces—all for literal pocket change.

Here’s why sourcing at the bins is genuinely FUN:

It feels like a game.
You have to dig, scan quickly, and trust your instincts. It’s competitive at times, but once you learn your way around, it becomes a fast-paced challenge you’ll start looking forward to.

🎯 It sharpens your sourcing skills.
The bins teach you how to spot good quality quickly, feel fabrics with your hands, and understand what sells. You become faster, savvier, and more confident in your reselling game.

🌎 It’s sustainable.
These are clothes that didn’t sell at thrift stores and could be headed for the landfill. Giving them a second life through reselling or personal use helps reduce waste—and that feels good.

πŸ€‘ It’s incredibly cost-effective.
Even if you only find a few solid pieces during a haul, your cost of goods is so low that your profit margins are huge. If I grab 10 lbs of clothes, that’s just $15—and I’ve often turned those $15 into $150+ in sales.

πŸŽ‰ You meet the best characters.
Whether it’s fellow resellers or vintage lovers, the bins attract a wild mix of people. Some are competitive, but many are friendly and full of tips, stories, and energy. It adds to the whole vibe.

Of course, it’s not for everyone. It can get messy. Your hands will get dusty. You might go home empty-handed some days. But for those of us who love a good deal, have a sharp eye, and don’t mind digging, the bins are the ultimate playground.

So next time you're looking to restock inventory or want to spend a morning on a mini treasure hunt—don’t sleep on your local bins. Throw on some gloves, bring a reusable bag, and see what gems you uncover. You just might fall in love with it like I did.

Life, Loss, and the Journey Back to Reselling

Life, Loss, and the Journey Back to Reselling


 



Life doesn’t always go as planned. No matter how much we schedule, set goals, and prepare, sometimes life throws something at us that changes everything. For me, that moment came when I lost my grandma.

Grief has a way of pausing everything. It makes you step back, breathe, and reevaluate what truly matters. For a while, my reselling business took a backseat. There were days when I couldn’t think about listing new items or shipping orders because my heart was too heavy. And that’s okay. Because in those moments, I was exactly where I needed to be—with my family, remembering, grieving, and celebrating the woman who helped shape my life.

As I start easing back into my business, I’m reminded of why I started reselling in the first place. It was never just about selling clothes—it was about giving items a second life, reducing waste, and making fashion more sustainable. And in a way, that connects deeply to the memories we keep of those we love. Just like how a well-loved sweater carries the warmth of its past, the people we cherish leave imprints that never fade.

This journey back to reselling feels different now. It’s not just about making sales; it’s about being intentional—about the time I spend with my family, the legacy I want to build, and the impact I want to have on the planet. If you’ve ever had to step away from something you love, whether it’s a business, a hobby, or a dream, know that it’s okay. Life is about seasons, and sometimes, stepping back is the most important thing we can do.

So here I am, returning to what I love, with a new perspective. If you’ve been following my journey, thank you for sticking around. If you’re new here, welcome. Let’s keep making secondhand fashion something meaningful—because life is about cherishing what matters, both in the clothes we wear and the people we hold close.
