That peek-a-boo detail though.... I can't take credit for making this one, but I am still completely obsessed with it. If you look closely, you'll see the top sweatshirt layer is actually cut away to reveal a 90s floral. I love this reverse appliqué kaleidoscope pattern.

I’m still cheesin’ over here after Thriftfest Midwest - Secondhand Clothing Market . Over half of my sales at the event were custom pieces I designed and made by hand. As a maker, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing something you created find its perfect home.

Here are a few of my favorite vintage reworks that went home with you all this weekend. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, shopped small, and supported handmade. 💛

First market in two years… and I’d say it was a pretty good one. ✨

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth at Thriftfest Midwest - Secondhand Clothing Market. 🤎 You all kept me busy, and I loved seeing which one-of-a-kind pieces found new homes.

If you grabbed something from me today, don’t leave me hanging. Tag The Thrifted Aesthetic in your OOTDs.

Around here, vintage gets a glow-up, outfits are custom, walls get a personality, and “Where did you get that?!” is basically the goal.

If your dream home is more collected than cookie-cutter, you’re in the right place. Follow along.

You donated Grandma’s pillow. I made it wearable.

This custom pullover started with a vintage quilted throw pillow. I carefully deconstructed it, preserved every piece I could, and gave it a second life as a one-of-a-kind denim quilt patch jacket.

If you’re local, come see this one in person (plus more one-of-a-kind pieces like it) at Thriftfest Midwest - Secondhand Clothing Market this Sunday! I’d love to meet you and show you what I’ve been creating. 🤎

Would you wear it?

Tell me you’ve worked in corporate without telling me you’ve worked in corporate…

I’ll go first:
“As per my last email…”

Would you hang this in your office? 😂

Controversial opinion: Alfred Dunner “granny tops” are the real MVP of the thrift store. 👵➡️✨

The silhouettes? Usually tragic.
The prints? Criminally underrated.
The upcycle potential? 10/10.

Most people walk right past these racks… but they’re hiding some of the best fabrics and prints you’ll ever thrift.

This button-down wasn’t doing anyone any favors, so I gave it a second life. ✂️🧵

A few strategic cuts, about an hour at the sewing machine, and a couple of very important steps that my ADHD brain completely forgot to film 😂… and suddenly it’s a one-of-a-kind tie-top tank that looks like it belongs in a funky boutique instead of the “grandma” section.

Behind the scenes juggling life as a reseller and a toddler mom. No inventory is safe.

My little shop model strut the kitchen runway tonight in this vintage kids rain coat. ☔️🐞How do I break it her that its 10 sizes too big and coming with me to ? Kids clothes aren't my main focus but I'll have a small assortment... because I have zero self control.
