The Three Best Places You Should Look For Inexpensive Festive Clothing this Holiday

I love jackets and blazers, basically just all the outerwear. I have a problem, and the bar that is peeling from my closet wall agrees. As the weather gets colder, my coat isn’t just part of my outfit – it is the outfit. I want to have options, ya know? I want all the colors and details. However, if anyone has noticed, good, quality outerwear doesn’t come without a price tag. This is why I find festive blazers and coats in unexpected places.

Goodwill

Okay, hear me out. Forgotten treasures can be found here. If you are local to the Boston area like me, Goodwill is a mecca of items that students couldn’t fit in their suitcase come Thanksgiving break. I’ve gotten countless Patagonia fleeces, J-crew sweaters, and yes, even Hunter boots. While you have to sift through a lot of shenanigans, the best part about finding these treasures is the price tag. I’ve gotten really cute and colorful blazers that hey, if I only wear them 1-2x a year, for $5, the price checks out!

Poshmark

I love Poshmark. It’s a great way to find the favorites you never wear a good home, while putting money in your pocket. I usually use my Poshmark earnings as an investment account. Meaning, I sell clothes and then use that money to buy ( one ) high quality piece to add to my closet. I got this ruffled J. Crew blazer from Poshmark, and honestly I can’t get enough. The color is the perfect neutral, but the ruffle just adds the nicest detailed touch.

Mercari

Mercari is another buy/sell app. What I love most about it? You can find just about anything, not just clothing on the app. Mercari’s search interface isn’t as easy to use, but the products you find are ~10% or more, less than Poshmark!
