Consignment! Great way to Clean out your Closet and make cash.

Today I made a trip to Conway, Arkansas to make my seasonal consignment voyage. When I outgrow my old clothes (as well as my daughter) I make use of them and sell them to my local consignment shop Yours Truly Consignment Inc. is self proclaimed "The largest consignment retailer in the south" with 15,000 sq ft of merchandise to select from. Initially I began consigning when I was in college and wanted to make some extra money. Its beneficial  not only for you as in your hopes to make a profit on your gently used items being resold, but also helping a family in need or just someone keep extra money in there pocket (versus paying full price for clothing at department stores and retailers).

Following a dream

Hello World, As you all can see this will be my "baby" of what I envision myself doing in the very near future. You have to start somewhere right :) So here it goes. I have always had a strong desire for creativity but I guess you could say I was afraid of failing or not being excepted. My two passions in life are music and fashion. So I decided that "Hey, I want to start a blog where I can combine the two things that I really enjoy doing and see if I can create a big enough following to establish a name for myself in this social media business". My dad has always said that our generation has the most valuable tool of modern technology (The Internet) so why not use it as a way to market your own brand instead of investigating random profiles of "Friends", and trying to tell your whole life story in less than 140 characters, or snapping tons of pointless photos of  yourself doing the trademark "duck face" or the new trend of "selfies" o...
