Secondhand - Blog Posts
Trying to declutter and downsize my stuff so I'm selling some clothes & other items for cheap, but reasonable price. Also, actively searching for a day job so having some starter money from selling on mercari really helps. All funds go to moving out of my parents' house someday.

Fleamarket finds.
I went to the fleamarket twice this weekend. Yesterday with some friends (I didn't really find anything worthwhile) and today with my family. I managed to find some CDs and books this time around.
John Green seems to be my fleamarket author, last year I got Paper Towns at the same market.
SO many wise words! Even the very strong lion, together with the maybe most famous national fairytale teller, has to give up. TOO many wise words! With sadness and regret, the indeed muscular lion and the also indeed very famous fairytale teller, just has to let go. MOST of the again indeed wise words are spilled all over the furniture and floor. Very few of the very wise words reaches the ears of the (again) indeed eagerly listening and mostly wise listeners. WHAT a pity! What a pool of wasted indeed wise words... It COULD be mistanken for wasted tears. Meanwhile, the indeed not so wise and not so listening scavengers, discreetly suck up the now indeed fluid wise words. Creeps out of the lion-and-fairytale-teller-room. Runs across the street, and sells the precious wise words in the indeed second-hand wise words-shop. One day a fairytale teller will collect some of the second-hand but still indeed wise words. Take them back across the street. For the indeed eagerly and wise listeners. And so, history and fairytale repeats itself. Wise words are again spilled into a pool, indeed looking like tears... That's recycling! VERY wise! #løves #åbenscene #løvesbogogvincafe #poetklubaarhus #fairytale #recycling #words #secondhand #wisewords #poetry #prose #whatever #repeating #aarhus #aplaceguardedbybothalionandthefamousfairytaletellertotryoutyourfirstwordsortrynewwordsorwaysbeforeanaudience (Usual one-off hashtag...) #udenfilter (Indeed!) #mantelmomento (her: Løves Bog og Vincafe)
On celebration of the new Vil card u decided to give Pomefiore Bounding a try.
I found this at a very interesting local store, and it made me instantly reminded me of Pomefiore and Vil. So of course I got it. It was very reasonable priced too.
Does anyone else see it?
I found this today at Bookoff. I was ecstatic.
thrifting tips that nobody asked for
go! through! every! rack! i mean it! flip through every piece of clothing one by one. 90% of the time people complain about not finding anything is because theyre just skimming the racks
went through every rack? great, now go do it again!!! its so easy to miss things, and ive found some of my favorite pieces by doing a second sweep. this especially applies to sections that youve found good pieces in
sizes are a construct!! i've found things that are xs and things that are xl and theyve both fit perfectly. look at all sizing sections and dont be afraid to try things on, the worst that can happen is that it doesnt fit. (remember- clothes are meant to fit you, not you fitting your clothes♡)
that being said, seriously, try! things! on! i know it sucks and ive always hated it but its worth it to avoid buying things that end up not fitting or not looking how you imagined
be careful buying things with the intent to alter them, even if its as simple as shortening/hemming. (will you really get around to doing it?)
go through everything youve grabbed At Least Once before you check out. i usually do twice. genuinely ask yourself if youre going to wear it, and make sure that youre not spending money on things that will sit around and/or end up donated again
thrift stores can be gross. please wash your clothes and wash your hands when youre done
resellers suck. i know.
finding designer/name brands while thrifting is fun!! obsessively combing through every store in your area just for name brands is not
reminder that thrifting isnt just something thats "quirky" or fun to do. with the cost of living being insanely high, lots of people (like me) are getting the majority of their clothes secondhand because we cant afford the crazy prices elsewhere. being broke and wanting to look cool are not mutually exclusive
