My mom always had a flair for vintage things: clothing, furniture and especially handbags. I always felt that there was something special about giving new life to things that someone else wasn't using anymore. I still feel the same way now!What three words would you use to describe your style? Creative. Bold. Fly.

Why do you thrift shop? I am a full-time college student at a local university, and I grew up as a casual thrifter but it probably wasn't until I started college that I realized I could not only save money by thrifting, but I could make some money, too.
What do you wear while thrift shopping? I like to wear flats that I can easily slip off to try on shoes. I do not like bringing a big purse because it gets in the way, so I will often shop with a small cross-body purse instead. If I am unsure if the store will have a dressing room, I wear slim-fitting pants and a shirt with a tank top.

earn cash from your clothes, how to resell clothesYou're probably just like me. You have a closet full of clothes, but you end up wearing the same pieces over and over {and over!} again. Or you have clothes and accessories you loved once upon a time and now you've moved on. Instead of letting clothes just collect dust, there's a way to clear the clutter and make a little cash while you're at it.I love reselling my unwanted goods and clothes I've thrifted that are amazing designer finds but just not my size {like an awesome DSquared parka I bought for $2 and sold for more than 300 bucks!}. And I'm increasingly looking at online reselling, which is super convenient.Of course you want to take crisp, clear pictures but here are 3 tips to sell your clothes online.

Housing Works Buy the bag sale, thrift store warehouseThere's something so beautiful about dresses from the 40s, 50s and 60s. The silhouettes flatter a woman's figure all while being classic and refined. So I was amazed when I came across a gorgeous dress at Housing Works Buy the Bag.The print. Halter neck. Full skirt...but it wasn't vintage. It was a modern Anne Klein frock. Either way, I loved it and scooped it up {psst: Housing Works Buy the Bag offers clothes for $25 per bag, so this cost less than a buck!}.I'm not a fan of head to toe vintage {it can be too costume-y for me} and the dress was two sizes too big, but styling it was super easy.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Target fall preview and as expected, it was amazing. This time around, Target allowed us to share photos of the upcoming collection before it hits stores. The pieces don't make their way to Target and target.com until August, so I'm glad I can actually share these with you. And trust me, you'll want to see these goods now so you can make a mental note of your must have items.While viewing the men's and women's pieces, a few things became very clear: prints are still going strong {tribal, ikat, camo} and faux leather accents will be your best friend. Though everything is trendy and fashion forward, they're also work appropriate.In between munching on light bites and sipping on OJ, I snapped a few pics. Take a peek at Target's upcoming fall line.
