I'm a stylist, nanny, and figure skating coach. After graduating from college and working in the fashion retail industry for several years, 2020 was the year I took my passion for style and turned it into a business! I love DIY home projects and Iβm equally comfortable operating a power saw or picking out the perfect pair of shoes. I'm extremely close with my family and they are frequently recipients of my solicited (or unsolicited) fashion advice.
Itβs summer, which means GARAGE SALE SEASON !! ππΌ
Garage sales can be great places to find unique pieces for cheap. But, you’ve gotta have the patience to look for them – you might have to stop at a few places where you find NOTHING before you stop at the place with the perfect gem for you!
I found this oversized seersucker blazer at a church garage sale for $4 π Church garage sales are a great option because they’ll have items in all sizes & styles. Due to the variety of people that will donate to a church garage sale, your chance of success is higher than at some 1 off sale.
Keep in mind – you gotta keep an open mind. This blazer is a vintage size 14. I am usually a size 8, so had I only been looking at the number on the tag, I would have passed by this beauty. Plus, with such a low cost, you can probably find some fun unique pieces that are a little outside your norm.
Many times people will mention their garage sales on neighborhood pages or the NextDoor app – so keep your eye on those things as well.
With all that in mind, next time you drive by a garage sale sign, take this as your encouragement to go – you never know what you might find! HAPPY HUNTING! π
