It’s finally time to get your cozy clothes out and start shopping for the holidays — but these days, money might be a little tight. You’re in luck, though, since Austin has dozens of secondhand stores, estate sales, vintage popups, clothing swaps, and other opportunities to buy things used. On today’s episode, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by expert thrifter Paula Cox and City Cast Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw, who loves a secondhand store, to share their favorite shops and tips to scoring some excellent preowned clothing, furniture, and more. And, it’s not too late to help Paula’s all-time favorite store and Austin icon, Treasure City, get into their new digs.
