Meet Virginia
Virginia Chamlee is a lifelong antique fiend, professional writer and artist who has over the years amassed quite the collection of high-quality designer wares. With BIG THRIFT ENERGY, she'll teach you all the tips you never knew you needed: How to shop for the good stuff, how to upcycle and style vintage treasures in your home, and even how to flip your most-coveted items to turn a profit. Plus, she'll share her all-time best finds, from a Goyard trunk worth upwards of $10,000 (scored for $90) to a floor-length vintage Christian Dior cape, a $10 Goodwill find.
You'll learn:
* Where to shop for, how to style, and how to sell thrift finds
* The best things to buy used, and which items to pass on
* How to upcycle something old into something "you" and make it fit beautifully in your home
* How to tell when something is valuable, and tips for reselling it to make a profit
