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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
