I am a huge vintage and resale store fan– I have bought some amazing outfits and spent so little on the actual item! I have purchased black tie event evening wear and spent less than $100 on the items + tailoring it to fit me! Plus I have found killer Frye leather boots for $35.00 that were retailing at just under $300!! It makes you wonder what someone was thinking– but then looking at stuff I have purchased and realized I would not really wear it because of the fit or the color… a girl has to do something! Resale benefits the seller and the buyer!!
