How to Mix Secondhand with New: Build a Smart, Sustainable Wardrobe

🛒 Why We Now Offer Brand-New Items at My Resale Hub

Hey there, thrifting friends! 👋 I'm Fern, the woman behind My Resale Hub—a Canadian online thrift store built around sustainability, style, and secondhand joy. But let’s be real: while many of us love the thrill of a great thrifted find, sometimes we just want something fresh, clean, and brand-new. And that’s perfectly okay.

That’s why I’m stepping things up. Starting now, you’ll find new fashion and home items mixed in with my carefully curated secondhand clothing, home décor, kitchenware, and more—all in one place. Whether you love a timeless vintage blouse or need a new pair of high-rise jeans, you no longer have to choose.

💡 Shop Smarter: Why Mix Secondhand with New?

The key to building a stylish, sustainable wardrobe is balance. Some of us love secondhand tops but prefer new shoes or fresh basics. Maybe you’re short on time or just want a few modern staples to complement your unique finds. That’s the heart of what My Resale Hub offers—convenient, sustainable shopping that works for real life.

👗 Styling Tips: How to Mix Old with New

Need a little outfit inspiration? Let’s make your wardrobe work for you, whether your pieces are thrifted, new, or already in your closet.

✨ Start with a Classic

A timeless blazer, a great pair of jeans, or a little black dress can anchor any look. If you don’t already have one, shop our curated secondhand fashion or explore new capsule wardrobe staples.

✨ Mix Old with New

Take that thrifted vintage blouse and pair it with a brand-new pair of high-rise jeans and modern sneakers. The contrast creates a polished, updated vibe.

✨ Accessorize with Intention

Secondhand dresses come to life when paired with a new statement belt or fresh jewelry. Accessories are a great way to modernize your look without overspending.

✨ Shop Your Closet First

Before buying anything, see what you already have. Sometimes, just one new accessory or layering piece is enough to give your whole wardrobe a refresh.

🧳 Build a Capsule Wardrobe That Lasts

One of the best ways to simplify your life and your closet is to build a capsule wardrobe. Combine a few quality new basics with your favorite secondhand statement pieces to create countless outfit options. Whether it’s a go-to pair of jeans or that cozy thrifted cardigan you love, it's all about mixing smart and sustainable.

💸 Smart Spending: Save Where You Can, Splurge Where It Counts

At My Resale Hub, I believe in balance:

• Thrift your style pieces (blouses, accessories, seasonal items)

• Invest in quality basics (leggings, underlayers, shoes)

• Support sustainability without sacrificing convenience

This mix-and-match mindset lets you stretch your budget, stay stylish, and make eco-friendly choices at the same time.

💬 Why Adding New Items Matters

Let’s be honest—sometimes you just want something new:

• You have a special event coming up

• You’re building or rebuilding your wardrobe

• Your body shape has changed

• Or maybe… you’ve got an Amazon gift card burning a hole in your pocket 😉

Now you can shop new and secondhand together—without losing that personal, small-business touch. Whether you're here for thrifted treasures, wardrobe staples, or giftable finds, you'll find them all at My Resale Hub.
