How long have you been shopping and/or selling resale?
10 years

What are your favorite places (physical and/or digital) to shop fashion resale?
Beacon’s Closet

What are your favorite places (physical and/or digital) to sell fashion resale or consign?
The RealReal

What is your favorite piece you’ve ever purchased resale?
A Self-Portrait lavender, black, and white dress. It’s so well-crafted. Self-Portrait is already a cheaper designer option, so selling it for resale produces great prices because the quality is immaculate and the designs are unique.

What makes you feel confident?
When I am able to authentically express how I’m feeling and my personality.

What’s something you’re proud of?
My two (in progress) Master’s degrees, and my writing job with Psychology Today.

What is one of your current ambitions?
To write a memoir about my recovery with schizoaffective disorder.

What makes you laugh?
My two little papillon-chihuahua dogs.

What’s your go-to resale shopping or selling tip/advice?
Don’t be afraid to make “mistake” purchases – purchases that didn’t really turn out the way you thought or wanted. Those early purchases or splurges I made early in my fashion resale career helped build a strong boundary against clothes that I absolutely must stay away from while shopping resale. Now, my resale excursions are about 30 min maximum because I know how to spot cuts, colors, and trends that look good on my body.
