SOLD

I had this tie listed and originally accepted a best offer. The buyer noticed in the photo that there is a small crease near the tip. He asked was is it truly a crease or was it a fabric pull. I examined the tie closer and I determined that it seems that it may possibly be a pull. The buyer no longer wanted the item and I issued him a refund, no problem. So I relisted the tie as an auction starting at $.99 and $2.99 to ship. Included the flaw and it sold! Don't be afraid to list flawed items they will sell. I paid $1 for this item!

Had these in my blog some time ago, they finally sold!

The reason I took such a low offer on this dress is because this item looks as though it had been altered by a professional at the hem line. I included that in my photos and description.

These were a great sale paid $.75 each

Paid $.50 cents for this top

$.49 cent belt flip

Had this dress in my inventory for about 4 months, the right buyer came along!

Garage Sale pickup paid $1

Paid $3.50 for this pair

Paid $1.87

Paid $1

Paid $1.50

Hope you enjoyed sharing with me my sourced and sold items!

A Budgeted Wardrobe

Hello Hello Hello

Wanted to quickly share with you all some looks that I put together with either thrifted finds or inexpensively priced items from a different stores. Very casual looks!!! So here they are....

I am not a size 2, 4, 6. 8 or 10...... So I really have to make sure that things fit me accordingly.

Gap Denim Jacket $2

Rue 21 Top $1

Aerpostale Leggings $2

Studded Ballet Flat $13

Total $18 not even a whole $20 dollar

Leopard Headband $1

Polka Dot Peplum Top $.50

Denim Jeggings $2

Leopard Sandals $6

Total $9.50

Hat $3

Top $.50

Skirt $.93

Gucci Bag..... Thrifted sometime ago

Less than $5 bucks

I don't know about you but I love looking fab for a fraction of the price. I hear people say all the time they don't have patience to thrift or shuffle through clothing on a rack. Well I do and I will! I love the thrill of the hunt. There is something to be said about a woman who can turn simple into stylish.

So if you are riding the fence about second hand shopping, picking, sourcing or thrifting. Jump off that fence and dive in and join the ever growing trend.

Sourcing Shoes!!!

Happy Sunday...

Hope that your day is going well. I wanted to quickly show and tell of some of the shoes that I have recently sourced and what I paid for them. As most of you know I am an Ebay, Facebook, PoshMark, Instagram seller. Well PoshMark is my newest endeavor and I don't have a ton listed but I have a pile waiting. Instagram, that pile is growing too. But as time approaches all of these different avenues for selling will soon be seeing a lot more of me. I just reorganized my selling space and acquired tons of shelving so I will also have my space available to locals, mostly family and friends for appointment shopping! Yes appointment shopping only. That's another post! But let me just jump right into this blog and show you what I have acquired recently in the world of shoes.

SHOES

Clarks Originals Desert Boot Paid $4

Projected Sale $50-$70

Maya Mules paid $2.50

Projected Sale $30-$40

Bridget Shuster Clog Mules paid $4

Projected Sale $35-$45

Projected Sale $25-$30

Timothy Hitsman

Still haven't sold these.... Maybe prom will prompt a sale for these gorgeous shoes.

Shoes that Sold

Had these for sometime, paid a few bucks from Salvation Army!

Another Salvation Army score, paid about $3 for these

Paid $3 for these from Salvation Army

Salvation Army paid $3.49

Goodwill Store paid $5.49

Goodwill Outlet Paid $.75

Salvation Army had these for a while

I know these sales weren't extreme high dollar but that isn't the focal point of my store either. Don't get me wrong my time is very valuable but if I am consistent in sales and I am making a profit then I am extremely happy. I know that some would say that they don't waste their time selling $20 dollar items well I would rather have 4-7 sales a day ranging from $20+ bucks rather than having only 1 or 2 sales a week with $50+ item. I want there to be a steady flow of traffic to my store. I want to offer sales and other promotions to continue to drive that traffic. This is working for me and I am absolutely okay with that!

Hope you enjoyed*

Happy Sourcing

PSA: I am trying to get my name changed all venues in which I sell, post or blog. My focus is getting my exposure to my store. "Wear It Fashion" aka Wear It Fashion Lounge!!!

Sourcing and Selling

Hello Hello Hello

I haven't blogged in some time because I have been extremely busy. I miss blogging and I hope to get back on a more structured routine of doing so. I decided that I would do a quick blog about some items that I picked up from local Thrift stores, Goodwill Outlets and various other alike places. Let me get right into it.......... Clothing may not be the easiest thing to list but there is money on the table for clothes!
