Thred Up_Second Hand Clothing_Milly Dress_Pink Wall_What Would V Wear_Vanessa Lambert

I’ve been a fan of secondhand fashion ever since I found an old, vintage Chanel belt at a local thrift store. I remember I would go at least once a week, in the hopes to find another Chanel treasure — and even though it never happened again, my love for vintage clothing never went away. However, I now prefer online shopping, and thredUP, the largest online consignment store, makes secondhand shopping a cinch. Continue reading to learn more.

    I’ve never done it before but there’s no harm in a good piece of follsecond-hand clothing that still has wear in it. Used to wear my mother’s clothing a lot. Still have a lot of her items in my wardrobe lol.

    What a find! Everything old IS new again. Call it geo print; call it 1960s mod. It doesn’t matter. You look smashing!

    I just did a post about a local resale shop too. Such a good way to score pieces for less, clean out your closet, and recycle. Love this fun dress on you. Have a great weekend babe!

    If this dress came from ThredUp, dear V., wow wow and wow! It’s absolutely amazing, I love colorful pieces and it’s really lovely! I confess that I would also love to find a Chanel treasure, but like you said, it didn’t happen – but I also have to confess that I never looked for one like “I think they must have a gem here”. I should! Now I know your story and must keep an eye open, the two of course! You look so beautiful! I hope you have a very nice weekend! Hugs and kisses!

    Secondhand shops are not so popular where I live, so it is not my habit to buy there.

    Unfortunately I havent come accross a great place to shop second hand clothing. I would totally go every week too. Lucky you, to find a Chanel belt is everything. I’m in all kinds of love with your dress Vanessa. The fit and the colors are just so perfect. You are beautiful Vanessa.

    This is such a beautiful look, Vanessa! I simply adore that dress and the ’60s mod vibes it has and how you’ve added those sunnies that look perfect paired with it! I’ve only every done consignment shopping in store, never online! I’ve heard of threadUP before, I’ll have to check them out! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead!

I have started shopping at ThredUP at least 50% of the time now because I can find such high quality pieces at such a great price.

    I love thrift shopping, I think it’s so much FUN (if you have time). I checked ThredUP and this is an other level of second hand fashion! The selection is very cool. Feel like I’m gonna spend a couple of house on this website 🙂

    Thanks for sharing.
