About this listen
Become a thrifting queen and discover the exciting world of secondhand shopping with this comprehensive guide from TikTok style star Macy Eleni.
Macy Eleni is a thrifting expert. Bargain hunting since she was a teen who was short on cash and long on a desire to express herself, she knows that staying on trend without breaking the bank—or increasing your carbon footprint—is not only easy, but also thrilling.
Second Chances is a unique guide to a one-of-a-kind, circular wardrobe. Eleni’s superpower is sniffing out great finds and here she walks you through the art of in-person discovery at thrift stores and vintage shops, estate sales and flea markets, yard sales and antique stores—and online resale platforms. This book will teach you how to organize your existing wardrobe, evaluate pieces you find, and manifest your dream closet.
After more than a decade as a thrifting expert, Macy has compiled every tip and trick in the second-hand shopping world from sizing and repairing to tailoring and cleaning—this book covers it all.
Macy also calls on other thrifting experts of diverse backgrounds to share advice about how to navigate a fashion landscape with regard to body type, gender, and ethnicity, so you can easily seek out the clothes that speak to your unique identity.
Whether you’re a seasoned thrifter or just getting started, this book will be your go-to guide for looking your best, feeling your best, and giving clothes the second and third lives they deserve!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Second Hand Shopping Guide of Our Time👏🏽
I confess, while I have watched Macy for awhile, I was always more of a casual viewer. This book turned me into a bonafide fan. Macy’s voice is refreshing, entertaining and relatable without being snooty or condescending. She’s detailed and specific, without sounding overly pretentious. No one has written a book like this before, specifically speaking towards my demographic and my generation. (Thats not to say that people of all ages won’t enjoy this book, but that it will likely hit a soft spot for Millenials and Older Gen Z, because we are some of the first generations to consider the impact fashion waste will have on the future.) This book is so CURRENT. However, the photos and graphics and spreads in the book were such a callback to the 2000s golden age of teen magazines that Macy obviously wanted to pay tribute to. It gave the whole book such a vibrant feel! Learning about Macy’s story and everything she’s overcome, about how she got her start from nothing also gave me a newfound respect for her as a person, and not just a social media personality. I loved this book so much, that I bought another copy at Macy’s signing in NYC and she very kindly encouraged me in my quest to get my archaic minded mother to stop shopping first hand. Slowly but surely, she said. And that is how I intend to convert everyone else I know, by gifting them this book. The audio book is one I’ll be able to take EVERYWHERE. Everyone I know is getting one for Christmas! If Macy ever writes anything else, I’ll be first in line for it🥹🫶🏽
She deserves applause for such a sparkling debut👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
