June 20, 2025 Store Finds Inspired by Pride

Our stores love to celebrate Pride, whether it’s taking part in neighborhood festivals or hosting our own store events (we still have a few left this month!).

And, of course, our favorite part is helping customers pick their looks for Pride festivities. In our stores, you can look for specially-marked racks of Pride finds (hint: look for the most beautifully-colored pieces in the store). These racks are hand-picked by our staff, so you know you’ll find lots of great options, including pieces from LGBTQ+ designers.

We just had to share some our store finds inspired by Pride. Keep scrolling to see them, then follow along with us on our main Instagram feed or regional feeds to see what’s inside your local store.

June 17, 2025 Classic Summer: Polo Shirts

A classic polo shirt is timeless, and summer is the perfect season to let it shine. With its clean lines, breathable fabric, and sporty appeal, a polo shirt strikes the just-right balance between casual and polished, making it a staple you’ll want in regular rotation.

Polo shirts famously work with a variety of looks. Pair one with tailored shorts and low-profile sneakers for a weekend brunch, or tuck it into wide-leg trousers to take the style up a notch. Want something more laid-back? Throw it over a pair of vintage denim cutoffs and sandals, and you’re ready for anything from a beach day to a casual coffee run.

What we especially love about polo shirts is how easily they fit into a range of personal styles. Whether your aesthetic leans preppy, minimalist, or sporty, there’s a version that works for you. Look for retro stripes, pastel shades, or cropped cuts to add a modern twist to this tried-and-true favorite.

With summer heat up ahead, let’s also talk fabric! Polo shirts are often found in cotton or cotton blends that breathe well and keep you cool. This makes them perfect for sweltering days when you want to look pulled together without sacrificing comfort.

Long sleeve versions work well for the office too!

So whether you’re heading to a casual Friday at work or planning a weekend getaway, a classic polo shirt is one of those easy pieces that does it all. Keep your eyes open for one on your next Crossroads visit. Find your nearest store.

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.

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.

This look works perfectly for summer evenings out, whether you’re grabbing dinner al fresco or catching a rooftop sunset with friends.

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.

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.
