When and why did you start blogging?
In 2009, I created Dina’s Days as a place to share my appreciation for thrift stores, flea markets, and any place that requires digging through bins to find a treasure. Dina’s Days not only started as a way to share my secondhand finds with the world, but also to start a critical conversation about the importance and value of sustainable style.
Where’s the best place to thrift?
I complied a list of my favorite thrift stores in NE Ohio. Sign up for my mailing list to get a list of my go-to stores.
How did you start your collaboration with Goodwill to host a pop-up in their store?
Over the last 13 years, I’ve been fortunate to have developed a wonderful relationship with Goodwill Industries of Akron through our Thrift Night Out, fashion events, blogging, and so much more. When they opened their first boutique, called Blue Boutique, Goodwill was gracious enough to invite me to have a pop-up space in their store where I can share my curated collections of some of my favorite vintage and thrifted finds.
How did you start collaborating with thrift stores?
After a few years of blogging on Dina’s Days, I began to form relationships with local thrift stores who were looking for collaborative opportunities to reach new customers. I spent a lot of time developing creative and original ideas before approaching companies and brands. After I began guest blogging for Goodwill Akron and styling collections for Goodwill Cleveland’s fashion shows, my services expanded to offer a wider range of creative ideas and client base.
Now, I work as a full-time content creator and consultant to help brands grow their businesses online.

What’s the best website to sell your used clothing?
