Outfits hanging up in Elliott Harrell's kids' closet.
Elliott Harrell buys and sells almost all her kids' clothing secondhand.
  • I buy almost all my kids' clothing secondhand. 
  • Buying and selling takes time and energy, but saving a significant amount of money is worth it.
  • Here are my tips for having success on the kids' resale market.

Kids grow like weeds, and there's a short window of time for them to wear each clothing size.

I'm picky about what my girls wear, but I would not be able to afford the brands and styles that I wanted to dress them in if I bought their clothes brand new. I also don't feel great about buying brand-new when I know they'll wear each item for such a short amount of time.
