boot sales, second-hand apps and clothes swapsCredit: PA Real Life Iso, from Herne Hill, South London, finds her fashion steals everywhere from second-hand clothing apps to local
car boot sales, and even gets some items for free. The content and social media manager believes that one of the few silver linings of the cost of living crisis is that it has
created the perfect environment for thrifting and bargain hunting. She told MyLondon: "I think the cost of living crisis has helped the availability of second-hand items. Selling
your clothes is a really easy way to make more money. "Now everyone’s cleaning out their wardrobes and finding all these things that they’ve never got around to wearing. "So
the quality of items that you can get second-hand is also potentially better than ever because people are rediscovering these things and wanting to give them a better home." Iso
went on to reveal over the last four months she has snatched up £4,141 worth of items for just £200, including paying £40 for an Yves St Laurent Blazer that retails at £2,000.
She also bagged two Ganni dresses, worth around £200 each, for free thanks to a clothes swap she organised with friends. She added: "We all just went to one of our houses and
brought stuff we were going to list online or give to charity shops – we gave each other first dibs. "Everything that we didn’t swap went to charity after that, but it was such
a great way to have fun without spending money. I feel like a proud mum when I see my friends wearing one of my items from the swap. It’s really nice." The thrifty fashionista
funds her purchases by selling items she no longer needs, creating a cycle of pre-loved goods. Iso finished by saying: "When you go into a charity shop or look at pre-worn clothes
online it’s more exciting than going into a shop or buying new, it’s a bit more fun – we could easily all shop second-hand. "There really are enough clothes out there from
your favourite brands in your size. I would never buy these items full price." 4She even bagged two designer dresses for freeCredit: Caters 4Iso funds her purchases by selling her
