Spring time is a great time to freshen up your wardrobe. What better way than recycling one man's trash? Don't forget the money you will be saving on almost-new items - a guaranteed stress release!
With so many yard sales, garage sales, estate sales and good old fashion thrift stores to choose from, it's hard to know where to start.
Check out The Thrift Shopper, Garage Sale Finder, Goodwill and Salvation Army to find places near you. Garage Sale Finder also lets you post your own sales - once you accumulate new summer items, you'll need to make room for them in your wardrobe!
Use the Etsy app to search for average prices of vintage brands while you're searching - a good tool if you don't know brands very well. Also, look out for better quality clothes by checking inside and out for stains or rips, Made In USA tags (equal better quality) and trying out the zippers and snaps to see if you'll need to replace them!
It may sound like an arduous task but just think of the long run - saving money, long-lasting clothes and a better environment.
