If you know me, you know my style is a little bit boho-western, a little bit vintage, and a whole lot of mixing the old with the new. One of my absolute favorite brands to mix into my outfits is Free People—specifically their older, vintage-feeling pieces.
But let's be real: buying everything brand new adds up fast, and honestly, the older FP pieces just have that authentic, lived-in soul that's hard to replicate.
I love building my outfits by hunting for second-hand gems. It is the easiest way to make sure your style feels completely unique to you. Here is exactly how I score the best pieces without breaking the bank:
My Go-To Sourcing Strategy:
The Poshmark Hunt: This is where I go for permanent closet staples. I’ll search specific keywords like "Vintage Free People lace," "FP embroidered," or "Free People gauze" to find those rare, older pieces people are cleaning out of their closets.
The Nuuly Hack (Without the Subscription!): A lot of people think you need a monthly subscription to get your hands on Nuuly items, but I actually buy gently worn Nuuly pieces directly. Did you know Free People, Urban Outfitters, and Anthropologie all have sections on their sites dedicated to selling used Nuuly inventory? The catch is that you have to search daily—things change constantly and the best pieces sell incredibly fast.
Mixing one of these thrifted finds with a timeless handmade skirt, a structured Gigi Pip hat, and your favorite turquoise jewelry is my absolute favorite way to style a look.
