Fashion is not what the labels say, it's who you are.                                                                                                                                  I discovered my love of Fashion early in life. As a little girl I always loved dressing up. When my parents would leave the house, I would always go in my mom’s closet and pull out her black patent leather, and suede stilettos, slip on her fancy cocktail dresses, pile on her jewelry and wrap myself in her faux furs. I would prance around in the mirror just long enough before I expected my parents return. Now although my mom had these items, she would only wear them to the special parties they attended at the Shriners club my dad was part of.  Other than that, she was pretty much plain Jane. I figured she knew I had been through her things but she didn’t mind.   She knew her daughter was a Miss Prissy Fashion Diva. I would always be particular about the cloth

Hey guys Its been over 8 weeks since we've been able to hit those streets shopping and visiting our local retailers, let alone thrift stores. And since I'm a reseller of second hand items, I look to the Salvation Army's, Goodwill's and local Mom and Pop thrift stores for inventory. And with this recent pandemic I've been limited in restocking my inventory. But all has not failed! I decided like many of you to do a closet cleanse, garage cleaning and some reorganizing around the house which allowed me to come across some items that I no longer need, haven't worn or totally forgot I had that can be sold. I realized how much stuff I had stored away, for "what? I also had some (dead piles). For those of you that are not familiar with the term. Dead piles is a term used by resellers of purchased items set aside for whatever reason maybe for cleaning or repairs and never listed on their selling platforms. I also was able to catch up on some crafty DIY'

I get it. Th-rifting is a turn off for many people. For some the thought of wearing clothing that someone else has worn is unimaginable. The idea that second hand clothing which should be given to the homeless and less fortunate is being sold by businesses for profit. And third, they just can’t stand the smell of going into those places.    I hear this all the time. Well to settle the minds of some. " Second hand clothing is not for everyone".    Used clothing can be cleaned using basic washing detergents and cleaners. The amount of  clothing given  away or donated is more than enough to help the homeless all over the world and then some. Another fact is purchasing clothing from a thrift, vintage or any second hand store is environmentally friendly and also helps with sustainability. Tons of clothing and materials are recycled which eliminates waste that is polluting landfills.  We live in such a throwaway society. If it's not the latest

Found this vintage coat the other day. What caught my eye from a distance was the fur collar that told me immediately it was vintage. Then that beautiful fuchsia color.  I immediately grabbed it and placed it in my cart. I live in Florida however I have to take advantage every now and then when we have our little cold spells. Otherwise tak a trip to visit family up north. There were some slight alterations but nothing that needed a lot of attention. Besides, the coat was only $6.99.

Hey guys this video is just a recap of some of my favorite thrifted pieces throughout the year. Let me know which one is your favorite.

This vintage suede jacket would only be appropriate to wear with this black denim pencil skirt with fringes. The joy of thrifting although not on every trip can find pieces for you, if you get my drift. Sometimes un expectantly awesome pieces find you!
