Interesting! Vests! I'll be keeping my eyes out for sure!

No way! There have been some bigger ones recently about an hour or two outside LA - I guess this made the news because it was pretty much smack in the middle of the city!

Karma is, after all, a cat purring on my lap ‘cause he loves me ❤️. I’ll set it aside so she can try it on and see if it works!

Interesting! I know their stuff is of incredible quality (I have a bunch in my own closet!) I'll do a bit more digging to see what other kinds of things I could snag - I do see a LOT of it in the bins!

Isn't it just stunning? That was my first thought - an absolutely stunning elopement dress! It just looks sculpted on...

I'm still waiting to find that beaded number of my dreams!!

Omg... why in the WORLD did I never put that 2 and 2 together!?! That makes perfect sense...

hmm - not St. John pants, but I have sold other similarly high-end pants from classic designers (Carolina Herrera, etc). I think the thing to remember on pants is that those are usually the basic in most outfits, i.e. the plainest part. So - when it comes to splurging on luxury, that's usually the last place a person will invest (it's totally counter-intuitive - as you should be investing the most in your basics, BUT that's not how the consumer mindset typically works). So - make sure you've got all the keywords in your listing that you possibly can. Like, every descriptor (high-rise? Pleated front? Drapey? Fabric content? Ankle Length?) and every possible style keyword : Old Money Aesthetic, Quiet Luxury. Nautical, Resortwear Minimalist, Closet Staple, Capsule Wardrobe, etc. etc. The key, really, when selling, essentially, a high end basic and rising above all the other similar pants out there is being on top of as many searches as humanly possible. Pants will always be slower movers, but it's a numbers game - the more eyeballs you can get on them, the faster they'll move.

Same! My knowledge of football nicknames stops at the Eagles...

INSANE, right?!?! I'm still reeling from it!!

Seriously - could you IMAGINE what other treasures popped up the rest of the day?! I hope there were some other resellers out there scooping up the treasures I didn't grab...

@JMSquaredVintage I admire your will power. I haven't developed that yet.

It's men's! So - on a women's shirt, when being worn, the buttons are on the left side, so when you're looking at it on a hanger, the buttons will be attached on the right hand side. Men's, of course, the opposite. This shirt was pretty clearly a men's cut, but when in doubt, it's the easiest trick to figure out if it's men's or women's.

Isn't it just stunning? It's literally art. That price is insane, but the worksmanship on it is really, REALLY impressive!

Well, when the Bins Gods gift you two Miraclesuits, YOU TAKE THE MIRACLESUITS. I don't care if it's the dead of winter - you pick those up! 🤣🤣🤣

It's so good, right!? It's actually already live if you wanted to go and take a closer look (and let me know if this wasn't the dress you're talking about) : poshmark.com/listing/FREE-PEOPLE-Day-Glow-Mini-Dress-Embroidered-Gauze-Dress-Size-XS-66b2c835325187bddd384192

Thank you SO SO SO much!!

YESSSSSS! I sincerely hope, from the very root of my soul, that you bought that thing and ran away like you stole it! 🤣🤣

Thank you!! It really was an insane day at the bins - I still can't believe some of the stuff I found. Torrey Pines! I've heard of that one! Adding it to the list!🤣🤣🤣

Yeah - TOTALLY understood. It drives me nuts too - It's just been too dang hot to be without something! I'll see you back here when this heat wave breaks!

Interesting! I do love finding some small Japanese brands - I see quite a bit of them here. Good call on the SS/JJill note - I know Soft Surroundings and coldwater creek were together, but I had no idea the others were in the mix! All pretty great quality on all of their pieces though, and lots of similarities, so that tracks!

Thank you so much! So nuts, right? I'm still in a bit of shock...

Absolutely INSANE, right?! I mean, the quality is absolutely stunning - the worksmanship is there, but so, so expensive!

Eye wateringly expensive, right!? I mean, it's all hand work, and it really is a work of art, but yeah - I feel like most of us would be living in our cars... 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, still reeling from some of those finds! ...And don't sell yourself short - you've found some INSANE things!

Thank you so much! I'm ALWAYS looking for more pieces in this color!

I believe, as far as I've seen, you're the closest to the actual price! Crazy numbers, right?!

The stores have prices things up and so they don’t sell..end up at the bins

The tag on that jacket was 9.99! AND NOBODY BOUGHT IT! Insane - I'm STILL reeling from this!

Thank YOU!!

LIMBER UP!!!!

Oooh! Sounds like people have good success with the pants - the jury seems to be out on the tops! I'll try to report back!!

A little laundry savvy and a REALLY good steamer...but mostly, it starts with sourcing - I try not to pick up too many things that have a ton of wear or damage..that gets me about 90% of the way there!

Hmmm - it IS getting saturated, so be sure you're being selective with what you're picking up... and make sure you leverage every single key word you have available to you - Free people is usually great for that since they put so many details into their clothing!

OMG I would have bought the WHOLE ESTATE SALE! Just clear the rack and put it straight into my car! I'm so happy any of this is helpful to you - NOTHING makes me happier than hearing about that uptick in sales on your part!!!

I DO love some freshly pressed sheets - I'm a line dryer, so I get that kind of crispness from that, but it is always SUCH a treat to slip into ironed sheets. Fingers crossed he'll (and I'll) figure it out, eventually!

That's awesome! It looks like there's a handful left! I've got such fond of EMS from my New England days....

Oh no! It'll go for sure - it could just be the summer slowdown that's holding it back..

YESSS! I'm SO happy you love it! It really is the perfect, vintage, kind of floppy fit - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that that TX Direct holds up, at least in some light rain. The water did bead up pretty well for me with a few little droplet tests after it dried.

Well, first and foremost, thank you SO much for the kind words! I really am such a nerd for this stuff. I'm glad it's contagious! You know - that's not a bad idea.... It's a BIG topic (so big that there's an enormous cryptic system of symbols dedicated to fabric care...) but some baselines of different kinds of fabrics and how to care for them might be good... along with some stain removal hacks... I like it!

OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is why we're bombproof today. We were FERAL!

I KNEW it! It just felt SO familliar!

Isn't that wild?! Amazing how nice this one still was!!

I feel like so much of the country has had brutal summers and everyone's starting to itch for fall! I always gravitate to those colors when I'm starting to yen for the cooler weather too!
