Ok, so I haven't written in a while. But its definitely time to get back to the blog, and I have to share something I started that pretty much made my life. it called Vinted. Heard of it? My phone promted me to download this app that would allow me to buy sell and swap clothing with other women across the country. My initial thought was it would be another app I browse for a few weeks then uninstall like so many others. I had seen similar apps before (anyone familiar with Poshmark) but they were geared toward high end brand name clothing and accessories that i neither owned enough of to sell nor had the budget even to buy used from other women. No Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, J.Crew, Ralph Lauren Coach or any other anything with significant price tags in my closet. I may have had a few big name hand me downs in my closet and some things I picked up while working at Banana, but they were not things I planned to get rid of. I discovered something though. Vinted was not geared toward the biggest brand names. In fact I found most Vinties sold their stuff for under $20 (and usually a lot less). My closet was bursting with things that got little use from me. I think I sold my first item (a white tank with a crocheted back) in a couple hours... then I was hooked. I've bought two things so far, a pink chiffon top from Forever21 (thanks to my $10 welcome credit from Vinted) and three pairs of earrings from a girl who was super duper sweet and gave me a great discount on the bundle. Her name was Christina, she goes by cre8tivevirgo78 on Vinted, and she had oodles of pretty inexpensive jewelry in her closet.

A few days later I've sold a few tops and a dress and Vinted is my new obsession. My bf thinks it"ll turn into some kind of new job that will allow me to quit working and just sell clothes online all day, butI think its just a fun hobby, buying and selling and interacting with other clothes lovers in the forums. Its pretty great. I go by autumn.oakes on the site. But here's a link to my closet... which will subsequently lead to to the rest of vinted.
