As someone who is cautious with my money, it is extremely difficult for me to justify spending a lot of money on a new shirt. But I really love new clothes. I want to be stylish. I want to be cool. So here are a few of my favorite places to buy used clothes so I can look fashionable but not hate myself for spending $70 on a pair of jeans.

1. Poshmark

This is by far my favorite place to find cheap clothes online. You can buy used clothes from people for way less than their original price. I usually bid down a lot less than the price people ask for originally as well because shipping isn’t included in their posted price, and my bid almost always gets accepted by the seller. But my favorite part of using the website is when the sellers include thank-you cards or wrap your clothes in a cute way. It’s like getting a Christmas gift in the mail which is hard for anyone not to love.

2. Thred-Up

-There are plenty of great brands on this website, and the first time using it you can get free shipping on your order. It can be difficult sometimes to find something I really like, but I like just checking up on the app when I am in the mood for some new clothes. And unlike Poshmark, you do not buy clothes from the individual sellers so the packaging is consistent and always very cute.

3. Yard Sales

-Some people hate yard sales because they think all they ever find is junk, but that’s usually because they don’t know how to go to yard sales. A couple of my favorite shirts have come from yard sales. And you cannot find clothes cheaper than you can at a yard sale. My recommendation for buying clothes at yard sales is to really look, and to go to a lot of yard sales at the beginning of a yard sale weekend because that is when you will find the best things in general and also, you are not guaranteed to find something you really love at every yard sale, so you need to be committed.

4. Thrift Stores/Plato’s Closet

-Depending on what you are looking for will really determine where you might want to shop for your clothes. Plato’s Closet is going to have the more popular and expensive brands you might be looking for and just a wider selection of things you might want to buy. Thrift stores are typically cheaper, but you might have to look a little harder to find something you want.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
