DIY + Secondhand Solutions for Smaller Spaces

Secondhand Shoes
Some of my favorite shoes that I’ve bought secondhand. I found some while thrifting, some on poshmark, eBay, fb marketplace, and depop. Additional Tips: If you want to have good secondhand finds you need to be patient! Especially if you want to find them for a good price. #shopping #secondhand
