What a haul!  I love sourcing for my Poshmark closet!

Look at this haul!  I had so much fun sourcing at Plato's Closet. Each February, they have a "Stuff a bag" sale.  They give you a regular plastic bag and you can stuff as much as you can for $10!

It wasn't even too crowded.  I was about 5th in line waiting for the doors to open.  Since I had done this last year, I knew what to expect.  There were many bins full of both men's and women's items in all sizes.  There were even shoes and accessories but that is not the type of thing you want to stuff in a plastic bag.

I also learned from last year to take a little time to check labels and avoid Shein, Forever 21, and other cheap brands.  I actually found a Zara skirt and some cute items that had no brand.  One item that I have never seen anything like it before. It's mauve velvet and has mesh sides and fold sequin fringe. 

Unique!   And hard to describe!  I imagine it may have been a recital outfit for dance.

I love it and wish U were a tiny person again.  I've not seen size 4 since I lost 50+ pounds with Weight Watchers in my 40's or in my teens and early 20's.

I was going to just take my one bag but as I was paying, they told me I could get as many bags as I wanted! So, I did bag number two. In the end, I had 24 items for $20.  This worked out to about 83 cents per item.  This will definitely help my bottom line.

     This trip was especially good because it was my first outing since the terrible snow and ice got me stuck in the house for two weeks!  

     I will get these items in my closet this week provided the sun comes out and helps me with lighting.  I am really excited to find out what treasures I found!  The process is fun too.  Take pix, use google lens to do the research, use Photoroom's virtual model to get a good representation of the item as the cover photo. fill in the description, and list! Love it.

You can do this too.  It's easy.  Since last Friday, I sold 4 items.  The week before, I sold two bundles and a couple more items.  It gets me coffee and lunch with friends!

 

My Poshmark Closet is an important distraction!

I have some stuff going on and I am so glad to have Poshmark to keep me busy.  Otherwise, I'd probably do nothing productive.

This past Saturday, Plato's Closet had a summer sale.  Bring your own bag, fill it with all you want, get 90% off!  I found 19 items and paid just over $18.  Less than a dollar for each item!  

After looking over them carefully, there are 3 items I may add to the mystery box or use them as giveaways.  May is the important word in that sentence.  It has a lot power that word.  It is one of the most indecisive words in the English language. It's a halfway promise and a way out of that promise all at the same time.  So, you sound hopeful and good but under the surface you are crossing your fingers you do not have to do it.  Like, I may make the meeting on watching  paint dry on Tuesday.  Everyone has your halfway promise and are hopeful you will be there.  On the other hand, you have a wry smile on your face because you know you are not going!

I did find a Zara dress and an athletic jacket that is really nice. All in all, it was a good haul.

My sales have been better lately.  I guess the change keeping people from updating their items using bots has allowed more exposure for us small fries. 

I also calculated how much I have spent so far this year and how much I have made.  Good news- I am in the black!

This is the easiest and most enjoyable "hobby" I have ever had.  It's very easy to do. It's better than a yard sale!  So, come join me and have a little fun and make a little money.

UNBELIEVABLE HAUL!  Thrift thrill! 

I am so thrilled!  Look what I got for $30!

Not everything in the picture! 

But, here's what I did find:

1 Wedding Dress with tags!

1 Prom Dress with tags!

7 Dresses

2 tops 

5 pair of shoes

3 cosmetic bags

Our local SPCA sponsored thrift store (all sales go to help all the fur babies) is celebrating their 2nd aniversary by offering different $2.00 items every day this week.

Sunday, it was shoes.  All 5 pair are new or nearly new with no scratches or issues!

Today, Tuesday, was all dresses

Wednesday is tops and later this week all bottoms!

So, I did a little research and the wedding dress had a list price of $650!  I will probably list it around $300 even though it is new with tags.

I can use the cosmetic bags as giveaways when I do a live show.

This is the kind of thrift find I have hoped to have for years.

I will sell these items.  It will definitely help bring down my costs and contribute to my gross income!

In other news, I do have that job.  Turns out I do not have to be on camera and am not restricted as to when I put in my time except it has to be between 7am and 9pm.

Ain't life grand?
