Hot Mama Daily

Beat the Recession with Funky Vintage Finds

Every Hot Mama should have a side hustle or two.  Mine are freelance writing and operating two stores on Etsy.com.  Technically, Etsy is for handcrafted wares, but they also allow vintage clothing sellers.  My vintage store, Tracy’s Pop & Shop Too, is a companion to my thread/string earring store, Tracy’s Pop & Shop.

I love to shop, particularly at consignment shops, flea markets, clothing swaps (if you haven’t gotten in on this free trend yet, ladies, what are you waiting for?), thrift stores, and fashion-forward discount retailers like H&M, Target, and Forever 21.  And I launched my Etsy stores a couple years ago to make some spare change and to test the waters for my goal to one day open my own, brick-and-mortar boutique.

Since I just renewed a few items that would be perfect for any vintage loving gal’s Fall wardbrobe and lowered prices, I thought this would be the perfect time to introduce my Hot Mama Daily readers to what I have (literally) in store.

    Hi Tracy,

    I wanted to write to you to say that I love what you write about and especially enjoy your love for great deals, ie. clothing swaps, consignment, vintage and so on. I thought you may be interested in the online boutique that I just launched last week. It is called Flaunt, and it’s web address is http://www.flauntitgirl.com. Flaunt features only designer accessories and is a consignment/resale online boutique. One of the many differences of Flaunt to some other Consignment boutiques, is that Flaunt is focused on Customer Service and Integrity, we only sell Authentic Designer Accessories, and every shipment from Flaunt comes wrapped carefully and with a hand-written thank you note. I hope you enjoy it!
    Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions!

    Regards,
    Jenn Nash
    Owner, Flaunt, LLC.
