This 45-year-old NJ woman makes $39K a month selling vintage buttons as necklaces -- and only works 20 hours a week
Growing up, Tocci was her friends' styling confidante. In college, while studying fashion at Montclair State University, she worked in Nordstrom's swimsuit department.
After graduating, Tocci worked a couple of sales jobs and ran a closet-organizing business for almost four years. But Tocci lost clients during the Great Recession in 2008, so she decided to pivot. It was a long process, but two years later, she finally used $30,000 from her savings to open Nikki Tans, a storefront for spray tans, styling and beachwear.
That remains the most difficult part of the job, she says: Tocci spends up to six hours per month searching consignment stores for pieces of vintage clothing with buttons that meet her qualifications for color, size, condition and year of manufacturing. Each piece of clothing she buys can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,500, and she needs approximately 40 to 50 buttons for each quarterly drop.
