#girlboss was a great book about a girl who seemed to just be waundering through life. She shopped thrift and vintage shops and dressed the clothing up on some low key models and made a killing on ebay. I really connected to the book and your article because we only shopped at thrift shops growing up with 13 kids in my family. Anyways just a suggestion would be to buy on a budget and sell for a profit on ebay or a resale store.
You could be related to me kellyfamily! I'm the 12th youngest out of 13 children. It's funny because as a kid, I never wanted to be seen near a thrift store, but like you, it was part of life. Now I love thrift stores.
I've actually sold a few finds on Ebay, that's great advice! Thank you for your response. I think that people from large families are some of the most awesome people! The most difficult part is, keeping up with all the birthdays and holidays. I've learned that baking is a good way to do that without going broke. :)
