Description
Lifelong lover of vintage fashion, Amanda Walker-Storey talks about how she went from thrifting out of necessity as a kid, to becoming a full-time vintage clothing reseller. Her vintage business, Irreverent Finery has made it possible for Amanda to leave her work-a-day life behind and focus on hunting for treasure at yard sales, estate sales, church rummage sales and of course, thrift stores. Join us as she shares her experiences and shares tips on how YOU can earn a good living with dead people's clothes!
