Sophia Yaeko

This is my lovely cousin Sophia- the queen of second hand. I had the pleasure of snooping through her closet and getting to see some of her greatest finds. I hope you enjoy :)

Sophia works at a local cafe/antique shop combo that is filled with hidden treasures. The cafe has YUMMY vegan food and downstairs they stock tremendous amounts of vintage clothes. She found this absolute GEM of a jumpsuit there, so feminine and so much sass. Repping one of her very own drawings on her arm, you can see she is a multi-talented woman. Check out her Instagram @sophiayaeko and get inspired!

Holy heart eyes- this jumpsuit is TO DIE FOR!! Although this trend has unfortunately not made its way down to the Sunshine State, I have seen it rocked more and more on my city friends. She thrifted this via Depop, a site full of second hand wonders! These jumpsuits– usually worn by mechanics- come in so many patterns and colors that you can definitely find one that suits you.

Sophia insider tip: if you’re not feeling 100% about that recent find, Sell It! Check out Depop and Poshmark!

The cut of these pants is out of this worlllldddd and I am LIVING for these pom pom earrings- adding a fun splash to such a simple yet wonderful fit.

I asked Sophia to spill the tea on some of her second hand secrets to help YOU become a fabulous thrifted treasure hunter:

1> Who do you admire? and how do they influence your style?

2> What is your favorite splurge? and what needs to be a deal?

3> Where are your favorite second hand haunts?

4> Describe your style. What’s your Go To?

5> When you’re shopping, what do you find irressistable?

6> How do you get psyched to wear a signature piece?
