If you want to go with the clothes you have, take a look at some of the brands you wear. You'll want to go to the manufacturers website and contact them about being a wholesaler.
If you're looking to expand, I would suggest that you look to indie clothing designers. You can find some ideas for designers at http://modcloth.com. But generally, you find who you want to use and then ask them about wholesale pricing. Same for jewelry and shoes.
Here are some ideas for jewelry and other things: http://annekernsdesigns.com http://dougdsouzajewelry.com (love the world peace pendant) http://thecuftlynx.com (for men) http://thegemstonegiant.com http://jewelrybydezign.com http://theresajeankibby.com (unique rosaries) http://treasuresbynina.com http://triplewillowgiftgallery.com (love the beaded glasses) http://uniquebears.com (not pricey at all when you consider they're one of a kind) http://candlebowls.com (really awesome candle bowls) http://vintagegirldesigns.com (cute cards)
Keep in mind that you generally will not be able to get the wholesale pricing list until you have a tax id number. Also, some of the companies will require you to spend a certain amount of money to get the wholesale discount.
Good luck!

Agreed! First place to look is your wardrobe, with pen & paper. Just see what you dress alot in and where the complements are coming from. If it is the skirts, just look at what you have been wearing, then shop around for them, maybe in different colours, abit of altered style (without losing the pretty,cute) e.t.c. You could specialise in certain items e.g. skirts, or shorts, or tops. Or you could use your fashion sense to mix & match them and sell off as sets.

Good advice so far, but I would also add that it is good to buy some things that you like, but keep in mind that if you are wanting to sell to everyone's taste, you need also to buy some things that you wouldn't like...every is very different and you don't want too much of the same idea, too cookie cutter for some people.. think out of the box and you will be fine . jean info@thebridalbiz.com

canuck1 I am a gift and jewelry manufacturer, myself. You can find all the suppliers that you need on the net. Just remember when putting in your searchs to include the word "wholesale" after your query...e.g. costume jewelry wholesale. Ken
