Secondhand Chic - The Book

Secondhand Chic - Finding fabulous fashion at consignment, vintage and thrift stores is a book that has been sitting on my bookshelf for at least five years now. I regularly dip into it and use it as a reference for just about everything that I need to know about buying second hand clothes. In fact I think it could well be credited for getting me started on this whole second hand clothing lark.

It is a bit like a bible for thrifters giving all sorts of useful tip bits of information such as how to spot quality second hand clothes usinf clues like the buttons, pockets seams and fabric, finding your size in clothes that have no labels, fixing problems or damage in second hand clothes and buying the styles to really make you look and feel your best.

The book is written by expert shopper Christa Weil who gives you all the insiders secrets to help you shop like a pro.
