I am a freaking genius. Yup. Just kidding. not really. I think.
Let me just say that that was the VERY BEST VACATION I HAVE EVER TAKEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE SO FAR!!!! Now that I have that out of the way, and the fact that I am completely restored, revived, revamped, reconditioned, realigned, reconfigured, rehabilitated and reminded that life is sooo freaking good, I am ready to get moving on the moving on out, vintage selling wise. Last night in my newly clarified and amped up creative state, the kind that keeps your eyes rolling in your head past midnight with the grease lighting fast thoughts that make you feel like you must be a freaking genius and you solve all of your's and the world's problems in your head while you roll around giddy with creative juicy happiness, I figured out how I am going to move this vintage stuff right into your happy, soon to be stuffed full, closets.
You follow so far? It doesn't matter if you don't - This is what I am going to do and what I have done so far: I am grouping collections of 10 pieces together in like styles, colors, and sizes and selling them in these well edited lots. Each lot will consist of not only 10 amazing, mix and match pieces, but will also get a few belts and scarves or other accessories that seem to fit the lot, thrown in at my own generous discretion (I have a whole bunch of stuff to toss in that I would love to give!) . A preview of the first five is shown below.

It includes a crocheted button up vest, navy jersey tunic dress, mustard leather trench coat, sweet floral dress, super soft cream and gold weave sweater, silky print elastic waist skirt, sweater girl sweater, super high waist sailor jeans, gray suspender pencil skirt and a silk leopard blouse.

These first 5 collections will be listed for sale (with additional photographs of key items) in my Etsy Store tomorrow, May 4, for $100 a piece and will also include extra accessories such as belts, scarves necklaces and bracelets. I know that you know your math and I have rationalized this price well in my head: 10 pieces, $10 a piece PLUS EXTRA SPECIAL GIFTS!! Its a good idea right!!?? I will have a total of 20 collections in all I think so these are just the first 5. I think I will be able to fit most of them in flat rate $15 shipping boxes for shipping in the U.S. but international shipping will have to be negotiated. If you follow me on twitter you will be able to see when each collection is listed. If everything goes to plan I should have every item I have, listed and for sale by the end of the month! GLORIOUS!!!
Any feedback on this?? I have not done the listing yet so if there are any blaring alarms bells that anyone else can see that I am over looking please advise. It's really a grab bag situation, but the loot is all really really good. So, do you think I am a genius too, or am I deluding myself into thinking this is a quick and easy way to go about this, that actually really doesn't work for you guys at all?
