Shopping at secondhand boutiques is the perfect way to find unique items for a fraction of the original cost. It makes shopping more of an adventurous hunt, and when you find pieces you love, it makes it all the more special.

I teamed up with Miranda Viehman, owner of Hello Gorgeous (https://hellogorgeousshopping.com) in Camp Hill, PA to show you how easy you can put multiple outfits together with pre-loved pieces. Miranda has an eye for style, and her and her stylish staff will great you with a “Hello Gorgeous” and help you put the perfect outfit together (even for prom or special occasions).

Here are three tips on mastering your next secondhand shopping spree:

#1 GRAB EVERYTHING
Grab everything that catches your eye when you first browse the store. Since there will only be one of each item, put what you love in your cart and decide later. You don’t want to take the chance of someone else picking up that same piece as soon as you walk away. Once you finish shopping, edit your cart.

#2 BUY IT
If you love it, buy it. Chances are that item will not be there the next time you make it back to the store.
Unsure if an item will fit? If the item is not in your exact size but around your size, still put it in your cart and try it on. Most consignment prices are low enough that you can get it tailored and still stay within your budget.

#3 GO CONSISTENTLY
Keep going back to the consignment shop periodically. You never know what unique pieces you will find. The shops’ merchandise turns over quickly, seasonal pieces are rotating, and items are consistently being marked down.
