June 5th, 2018 by Jennifer Beile 5 Summer Pieces to Buy Secondhand This Season
When you’re on a limited budget, replenishing your closet each season can be difficult, which is one of the many reasons why I love thrifting and going to Crossroads to fulfill my seasonal, trendy wardrobe cravings (Bring on the summer pieces). You may love a trend one day, but as the honeymoon phase of new clothing wears off, you may find yourself pushing it aside for some of your more classic staples. Why pay full price for something that you may not love forever?
Enter secondhand shopping. Check out 5 summer pieces I’ll be looking for at Crossroads.
Midi Dresses
Last week I shared my favorite midi dresses for this summer, and I hope it inspires you to find your favorite.
Ruffles
If you’re like me and have shied away from ruffles since childhood, you may be wary about this summer trend. Fear not, ruffles can be fun and age appropriate.
Botantical Prints
If you don’t have a summer vacation on the calendar, you can still dress like you are on vacation in super trendy botanical printed pieces!
Slide Sandals
I’ve been noticing an influx of slide sandals at my favorite Crossroads stores and have picked up a few (heeled and flat) to complete my summer wardrobe.
Bold Colors
My wardrobe is typically full of dark, muted colors, but I’ve been embracing bright, bold colors lately. I love that I can pick up some key pieces at lower prices at Crossroads to mix into my existing wardrobe.
June 4th, 2018 by Melanie Sutrathada 6 Ways to Add More Color into Your Wardrobe
If you’ve considered yourself as a person who can only wear neutral or black color palettes, I’m here to tell you that adding a little extra color to your wardrobe goes a long way! Add small statement pieces in shades of sunshine yellow, red and violet, and you’ll find your outfits look more put together and curated. The best part? Chances are that you can easily recreate the looks below with pieces you already own.
Here are 6 ways to put some more color in your outfit!
Try adding that extra pop of color by styling a bright colored blouse under your overalls. Follow up with a pair of shoes in a similar shade.
As an alternative to denim jeans, consider wearing a pair of bright colored pants.
Fashion tip: you can never go wrong with a bright yellow dress. Throw a denim jacket on top to balance the color.
Don’t be afraid to indulge in complementary colors. Take a style cue from influencer Grasie Mercedes and pair purples and yellows together.
It seems like every fashion girl has at least one pair of bright colored shoes in their wardrobe, and we can’t get enough of them in yellow!

A midi dress is a flattering and versatile piece for a busy summer season—wear it to all your barbecues, music festivals, and summer date nights. It’s the perfect effortless piece to throw on for any occasion. Not too short, not too long, casual with sneakers, and more dressed up with sandals, it’s easy to see why midi dresses are a warm-weather staple.

From straw hats to braided bags and even raffia slides and mules, this trend is only growing. Take a look at some of my favorite ways to style a woven piece with your summer wardrobe!
