How to get a full brandy set for under $25!

Hi, everyone! Today, I'm going to tell you the secret to finding a full brandy set for under $25! I have used this method, and IT WORKS!

So, brandy melville is a very popular clothing brand, and their coquette floral/plain sleep sets are very popular. The sets sell for up to $70-80 sometimes, based on whether or not the print is in stock on the website. The best way to get a brandy sleep set, in my experience, is to first find the shorts on Mercari.

Mercari is a thrift app I LOVE and recommend people shop on. I've stopped buying on Depop almost entirely because of how expensive it's gotten, but its normalization of high prices make it a really good place to sell clothes. Here on brokecoolgirl.blogger.com, we aren't exactly depop girlies. INSTEAD, we shop on apps like Mercari, where you can find much better deals!

I recommend starting by bookmarking the term "brandy shorts" on mercari and checking up on it once or twice a day to see if anything new has been listed. There will be PLENTY of listings for shorts that are too expensive (over $18) or ones that you aren't interested in. Once you find a pair of floral/plain sleep shorts that come out to about $16 after tax and shipping, go ahead and buy! 

Next, you inspect the print of the shorts you bought. Now, you need to find a matching top. The tops are MUCH easier to find, which is why I always recommend you start with the shorts. Once you find a listing for the specific print you were looking at, try to talk the seller down to $5-10 (I know it can be awkward to lowball, but a lot of the sellers are just trying to get rid of things that they otherwise would have thrown away! They often say yes!) Now, spend your remaining $9-10 on the shirt! Wait for both items to come, and rejoice in the fact that now you have a brandy sleep set that you've only paid $25 for!!

How to find a vintage ipod!

Hi! So, I'm writing this post because I get a lot of people on my pinterest asking where I find the vintage ipods that I find: I'm here to tell you!  Vintage ipods are a super cute accessory, and they're also a very cheap way to listen to music if you don't feel like paying billions of dollars to get rid of ads on streaming sites! It's actually pretty easy to find vintage ipods, but I recommend Mercari as the best place to find them. Mercari is an app for used items (mostly clothing) but you can find other items, too! You shouldn't feel like you're taking a risk when you buy an item on Mercari because they have a really good return policy that will give you your money back if the seller lied about the quality/condition of the item (they sometimes let you keep the item, too! shhhh!)  If you want an ipod, first research which generation you want.  All the newest ones are (in my opinion) boring, so, as usual, vintage is the best place to look! I choose the 3rd

My ephemeral bow tattoo

Hi, everyone! I'm new to blogging and this is the first actual blog post I've ever written! I'm going to link this to my pinterest, where I've posted a lot of photos of my bow tattoo! So, I got the idea of this tattoo from my super cool friend Alex. Alex lives in New York and she's an AMAZING artist, and she drew that pretty bow on my wrist when we were on a retreat at our school. I loved it and immediately knew I wanted to get it tattooed. But, because I'm 18, I didn't want to commit to a forever tattoo, and I decided to get it done at ephemeral in San Francisco! I've done lots and stick-and-pokes on my friends, which contributed to my desire to get this tattoo done professionally (even though most of my friends are artists, I trust professionals). I didn't want to pay the large price for the tattoo, so I sort of talked my artist into making it as big as possible within the smallest price range by rotating it in the little square they use to price t
