Went in a little thrifting adventure with my sweet kiddo this morning. I love that she loves thrifting as much as I do 😂 she always gets to pick out a toy (or 3) when we go together.

Hi Instagram! We are half way through September already & 3/4 of the way through 2019 and idk about you but this year has FLOWN by for me. I’ve felt like I’ve been treading water in so many ways, struggling to reach an equilibrium within my business, within my parenting, and especially within the confines of my mind. I wanted to do a brief (ha!) into post in case there’s anyone here who doesn’t know me yet! 😊 I’m 29, I have a 3 year old daughter, and she and I live in East Tennessee. I started reselling clothes in 2017 when Ella was 4 months old, to save up money to leave a relationship that was far from healthy. Fast forward to last year, I moved out, and found myself alone with an 18 month old and my new business. Struggle, muck, tears, friends, losing friends, finding myself, losing myself, over and over and over. Over the past 2.5 years I’ve found a purpose in reselling clothing and found a passion for doing my part to help in efforts against fast fashion and start recycling textiles in my state. I’ve also fallen for vintage clothing from 60s-90s and I love to mix the decades together within an outfit. I want to start sharing more of my outfits on here. These photos are of some items that will be in my store and just for fun. My hero Glennon Doyle and her non profit helped me in February with a grant to get Ella and I into stable housing and get my feet back on the ground and prepare for sustaining and growing my solo life. She speaks consistently about just showing up. This post is a bit scattered, bare with me. I’m posting this to say: I’m just showing up. Every day I fight for my (stable) mental health, I fight for my business, I fight for my joy. I refuse to give into depression, to let anxiety keep me in my house and not pursuing friendships and relationships and to not let my impostor syndrome keep me from laying foundations for the companies I want to start. To anyone who lands on my page and reads this, 😘 hi, and if you’re confused on where to start, just show up. Here’s a photo of me: showing up, being silly, loving old clothes, and rocking my crazy hair and amazing 👓. I’m gonna keep showing up, and you should too.

Swipe ➡️ to see Ella in this coat! When I thrifted this last winter in Michigan (Josh actually spotted this), it was huge on her and I didn’t even think to keep it because I thought it would sell quickly. Fast forward 10 months and it just sold internationally, headed to the Philippines 🇵🇭, I made a few $ on shipping and I paid less than $5. Ella wouldn’t turn around for a photo but it was ADORABLE on her!
