July 9, 2024 Loafers for Summer Looks
Wear loafers in summer?? This might not be your first instinct, but we think they’re a great seasonal choice.
Loafers are so easy to slip on, and they (yes!) match your favorite summer shorts, whether they’re a preppy pleated pair or in a relaxed boxer shorts style. They work with dresses, skirts, and cropped pants too! Best of all, they are currently trending with comfy socks. Don’t believe us? Keep scrolling to see for yourself.
In fact, take a look at multiple summer looks with loafers that caught our eye on Instagram.
We consider loafers a staple fashion piece, and that’s why you’re likely to find them in one of our stores. But, if you’ve decided this look isn’t for you, consider bringing in your gently used loafers to one of our selling counters. We love leather versions in modern styles from popular brands. Our buyers will assess them during your visit, and your pre-loved pair might just earn you cash or store credit.
See even more seasonal trends to sell or shop in our current selling guide. There are still plenty of summer days ahead to try out one of these looks!

July 2, 2024 How to Sell Fashion Online
If you’re wondering how to sell fashion online, you’ve come to the right place. The answer might not be what you’re expecting, though!
You might be thinking you need to list your clothing on a website or an app, then take offers and answer potential buyer questions.
Nope.
You may think you’ll need to package each piece when it sells, becoming best friends with the post office staff as you visit weekly with shipments.
Wrong again.
How to Sell Fashion Online
How about something like this: you order a free Sell by Mail bag from Crossroads that’s roomy and includes pre-paid postage. You fill it with the items you want to sell and send it off.
Once our buying team receives it, they’ll assess each piece and determine which pieces they can buy in. They aim to buy as much as possible!
You’ll receive notification when they finish your buy, and you can choose your payout in cash (by Zelle payment) or in trade credit that’s good at all Crossroads stores. You also have the choice to have your unpurchased items donated or returned to you for a fee.

It’s the simplest way to sell fashion online, and it starts by simply ordering your Sell by Mail bag.

June 27, 2024 Slim Sneakers are Still Leading
Slim sneakers continue to get all the attention, especially as summer heats up and lightweight shoe options take center stage.
Whether its a pair of Adidas Stan Smiths, Puma Palermos, or Golden Goose Super-Star’s, these minimal sneakers pair just as well with jean cutoffs as a voluminous maxi sundress.
Best part: you know you can always find slim sneaker options at Crossroads!
Keep scrolling to see several looks that capture the ease of this popular shoe style. Notice all the cuffed pants and ankle-length denim, perfect for showing off this favorite!
If you’re looking for a pair of slim sneakers, visit any of our stores to see if we have a pair just for you. Or maybe you have a pair sitting in your closet that you’ve barely worn. Maybe the sizing wasn’t perfect, or they no longer reflect your personal style. If that’s the case, stop into one of our stores to sell them. One of our trained buyers will assess them for you. If they decide to purchase them, you’ll receive 30% in cash or 50% of trade for what they price your shoes at. Use the cash for summer fun, or the trade for new-to-you fashion pieces.
