<p>I want to be a science major (Biochemistry), but I really love fashion. I'm wondering if it would be wise to start an online vintage clothing store? </p>
<p>My Plan: is to get clothes from thrift stores, garage sales, and second hand stores that are unique and usually very high priced, and sell them for profit. I even thought of some ways to alter clothes to make them look like things from magazines (jeans can easily be turned into jean shorts by cutting the legs off, colored by dying them different colors, and you can add studs very easily.). I'm also thinking of potentially expanding to a jewelry/shoe line by changing them a little. Advertising can be done through my friends ( I know they love clothes/shopping), Facebook and other social media, bulletins at school etc.. </p>
<p>What do you think? Is this too soon? I have a summer job to get my business started, but I don't know how it will sell? I'm planning on using my money from that job (plus $300 from my mom) to start up. I don't have to many friends so advertising would be very hard, but I like a challenge.Someone I know is willing to help me with the website so hopefully it will look good. If you've done this, or known someone who has, can you give me some advice? Also, if there's a better business I can start that you think would be good could you tell me?</p>
<p>Thanks so much</p>
<p>I posted this somewhere else but no one responded =(.</p>
