Yes, It's Me!


Nice to meet you, I'm Kate.
 
Yes, it's me! Let's start this thrifting journey together. If you're looking for thrifting tips, good finds, and ways to save money, then you have come to the right place. Before we get to the good stuff, we should chat a bit. Since we're going to be good friends, let me share a little about myself and my journey thus far. 

My name is Kathryn Pani, but you can call me Kate. I'm a Junior at Columbia College where I'm pursuing a degree in Marketing. My passions include volleyball (which I am currently playing at CC), horse riding, ice cream, Jesus, and thrifting. Those have to be my favorite things in this world. Not only that, but I have always loved a good deal. I have been frequenting Goodwill since I was a little girl. My grandma/best friend and I would go to nearby thrifts to play dress up, rightfully so. When I started getting older, this turned into treasure hunting. I would be digging for hours to find a good name brand, or a hidden gem waiting to be found. This habit has followed me into my twenties, and has saved me a whole lot of money. I hardly pay full price for anything anymore; if I can get it at a thrift store, you bet I will hunt for weeks to find the perfect piece. Thrifting is also better for the environment, as it keeps clothes out of landfills. 

With all that being said, I hope you decide to stay a while. We're going to visit thrift stores, outlet bins, garage sales, and curbs looking for the perfect treasures. I definitely don't have all the right answers, but we can learn together along the way. We're going to have a lot of fun. Let's do this!

See you soon,

❤ Kate

Yes, I DO Have a Favorite Vlogger

Let's Get Into Vlogs Growing up in an increasingly digital age, I have been exposed to video blogs for quite a few years. Honestly, I remember when "vlogging" wasn't even a key term yet. That makes me sound old (I promise, I'm still hip).  With age came the need to procrastinate more often; my favorite way to do this became watching Youtube videos. My favorite vlogs were the "Thrift With Me" editions, where content creators took their fans along with them while they hunted for second-hand treasures. I was able to vicariously shop with people I had never met, and I loved it. Seeing other people find new-to-you items was so fun to experience. Luckily for me, all of that internet procrastinating paid off.    There was only one YouTube vlogger that I watched on a regular basis. I actually waited for her videos to be released each week. Although this particular young woman has changed her content from when I watched her originally, she still continues to insp

Yes, It's The Last One

 The Last One This is kind of sad, having to wrap this up. I have so enjoyed the creation and completion of this blog. I want to thank all of you for reading, interacting, and supporting my content! My following is so important to me and I am thankful for each and every one of you. I have learned so many things along the way. The biggest bit of information I picked up was how to construct an efficient personal branding strategy. Creating a business is more than just picking out a name and an area of expertise; a personal brand is something that relates to who you are and what kind of business you are planning to build. Throughout this course, I have been able to piece together my own personal brand through this blog and other social sites. My personal brand revolves around thrifting, and what it means to be authentic and genuine in the fashion industry. I hope that my followers have been able to see this brand come to life, because I know I have. After this class concludes, I hope to k
