🙋‍♀️ ABOUT ME:
My name is Morgan and I'm a 20-something living in Chicago who loves thrifting, slow fashion (slow living in general), caring for the planet, tea (the liquid kind and the dramatic kind), being outdoors, having deep conversations, having frivolous conversations, and of course making silly lil videos. I hope you have a laugh, learn something new, or feel little less alone while you're here. 💛

Omg, I do the cross reference as well! It often helps me to determine whether the item is actually for me or not. Also, it's useful to bookmark the same item from different sellers, so you can look out for the best prices and have a back-up for when a seller does not respond.
Here in Europe, Vinted is very good, imo.

A couple of years ago I fell into the world of online thrifting and curated Instagram shops of thrifted goods and clothing as well. It has been an amazingly supportive community to be part of and I have created so many friendships along with selling and purchasing some amazing pieces I would not have found without the online space. ☺️
