Secondhand Shopping
Filed in: Accessories, Fashion, Links, Secondhand, Shopping
For those of you that don’t have any secondhand stores around, or simply want a better selection to choose from, I have gathered a few online stores where you can buy vintage clothing and accessories without spending too much.
I’ve already mentioned Sveet Cotoure, which is an incredibly affordable and beautiful webstore. $15 for a vintage Oscar De La Renta; you can’t beat that!
Adore Vintage has a wider selection, and is also supplied with lookbooks which help you choose your style. Here you can keep track of everything from street style to celeb style. The prices range from about $20 for necklaces to about $40 for jackets.
At Yesterdays Moment you can also make some great deals. Here you can get a necklace for about $5 and a dress for about $20, allthough prices vary a lot.
Ninja Vintage sells skirts for about $15 and purses for $10.
At Vintage Amore you can get a nice pair of silver Steve Madden shoes for $30 or a dress for around $25.
Debutante Clothing is a bit more expencive than the others on some things, but you can also find some good stuff here. Dresses costs down to $20 (but also up to $110) and accesories around $20.
Some people sell their own wardrobe online as soon as they’re sick of something. Here you can scoop in and make some good purchases. Shop My Closet is one of these, and here you can get everything from designerwear to vintage clothes. Prices range from $10 for a vintage shirt to $80 for a Marc Jacobs jacket.
A similar webstore is Clothes Captioned. Here prices are bout $5 for a t-shirt and $15 for a pair of shoes. They’ve got stuff for both guys and girls.
This is just a selection. If you know of any good ones worth mentioning, let me know!

I can’t gush enough about this post - I love secondhand shops, but all the ones around here are only open during business hours (when I’m at work!). Now I can shop online!

I never concidered shopping secondhand online (except on Ebay) cause I figured it had to be very expencive. When I stumbled over these I found out that I had been totally wrong! Think of all I have missed out on over the years!
