June 12, 2025 Work in Retail This Summer
Summer is the perfect time to switch things up, and if you’re looking to add a new experience to your resume (and some extra cash to your wallet), it might be time to consider a job in fashion. More specifically? It might be time to work in retail at a fashion resale store like Crossroads.
Here are 2 reasons why it could be your perfect job fit:
1. No Two Days Are the Same
When you work in retail at a resale store, you’re surrounded by a constantly rotating collection of clothes, accessories, and shoes. This means you get a front-row seat to the coolest fashion pieces, from one-of-a-kind vintage finds to labels you’ve seen all over your favorite style feeds. If you love discovering new trends or styling outfits, it’s basically like being in your own curated closet all day.
2. A Job That’s as Social as Stylish
You’ll spend your days helping customers find pieces they love, chatting about fashion, and getting inspired by what others bring into the store. You’ll assist with buying clothing for the store, putting you right in the middle of the style conversation.
And let’s not forget the perks. Crossroads locations offer employee discounts and the chance to build real retail and fashion experience, making it ideal for anyone curious about what it’s like to work in the industry. You’ll gain not only a network of fashion-minded colleagues, but also real skills you can take with you wherever you go.
So if you’re ready for a role that’s fun, flexible, and full of fashion, look into a position at your local Crossroads store. It’s one of the best ways to work in retail this season. We think you’ll enjoy every stylish minute of it.
June 10, 2025 Why A Floral Dress is the Ultimate Summer Staple
Floral dresses and summer simply go hand in hand. We love to reach for breezy, beautiful prints that brighten our wardrobe and make getting dressed feel effortless. The floral dress is a forever favorite, and for good reason: it’s timeless and versatile.
One of the best parts about a floral dress is how easily it transitions across different summer plans. Heading out for a weekend brunch? Pair your floral midi dress with white sneakers and your favorite handbag for an easy, casual look that still turns heads. It’s a go-to outfit formula that never fails.
For a slightly dressier option, layer a soft cardigan or linen blazer over your floral dress and swap the sneakers for boots or sandals. This look works perfectly for summer evenings out, whether you’re grabbing dinner al fresco or catching a rooftop sunset with friends.
And if you’re looking to make a bold fashion statement, try pairing your floral dress with chunky platform boots and a wide-brim hat. This unexpected combo adds a little edge and gives a classic print some serious personality.
Whether you lean toward soft pastels or bold botanical prints, there’s a floral dress out there for everyone. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just look good; it feels like summer the second you put it on. And with so many ways to style it, you’ll be reaching for it all season long.
Thinking of clearing out space for your next favorite floral number? Bring your preloved fashion pieces into Crossroads to sell and refresh your wardrobe for the season ahead. Summer style starts here: just find your nearest store.
May 27, 2025 Preloved Fashion Scores from Our Stores
There’s nothing quite like stepping into a secondhand shop like Crossroads and walking out with something unforgettable. Maybe it’s that feeling of discovery, or the satisfaction of scoring a one-of-a-kind piece. Either way, secondhand shopping is full of fun surprises.
Every trip feels like a stylish treasure hunt. One moment you’re browsing the racks, and the next, you’re holding a vintage leather jacket, a pair of boots you’ve been dreaming about, or a designer label you’d never splurge on at full price. Every piece comes with its own past, and you get to give it a future.
What makes the experience even more exciting is how quickly things change. Since inventory is always rotating in Crossroads stores, each visit brings fresh finds and new inspiration. It’s a chance to build a wardrobe that reflects your personal style, piece by thoughtful piece.
Shopping secondhand is also a creative playground. You might find the perfect dress to layer under a cozy cardigan, or discover a retro blazer that transforms your everyday look. Mixing eras, trends, and textures becomes part of the fun; the result is a wardrobe that’s completely unique to you.
Let us show you: all of these treasure hunt finds were found in Crossroads stores!
And you can’t forget that secondhand shopping is a win for the planet. By choosing preloved fashion, you’re helping to extend the life of great clothing and reduce the need for new production. It’s fashion that feels as good as it looks.

May 22, 2025 How to Style Linen Pants For Everyday
When the temps rise and we’re craving something light and breathable, linen pants become our go-to. They’re easy to wear and make warm-weather dressing feel breezy, whether you’re lounging on the weekend or heading out for lunch with friends.
One of our favorite ways to style linen pants is with a classic tank or t-shirt. This simple combo keeps things cool while giving you a flattering silhouette. Add a pair of sleek sandals and a tote bag, and you’re instantly summer-ready. If you want to elevate the look, swap the tee for a lightweight button-down. Style it tucked, tied at the waist, or worn open over a cropped top.
For a slightly dressier vibe, try pairing wide-leg linen pants with a fitted knit top or a structured blazer. It’s an easy way to make linen feel work-appropriate or evening-ready. Don’t forget the finishing touches: a leather belt, some layered necklaces, and a pair of mules or block heels can really pull the look together.
Linen pants also play well with prints. A striped or floral top adds a fun seasonal pop to neutral-toned linen. And don’t be afraid to go monochrome. An all-linen look in one color family (like ivory, taupe, or soft green) always looks effortlessly stylish.
The key to styling linen pants is leaning into their natural ease. They’re not fussy, and your outfit doesn’t need to be either. Think breathable fabrics, easy silhouettes, and soft color palettes.
If you’ve got a pair of linen pants hiding in the back of your closet–or spot one at Crossroads—don’t pass them up. They’re the kind of piece you’ll reach for all season long.
