November 23, 2023 How to Sell Clothing by Mail
If you want to sell clothing by mail, Crossroads has the best option for you. The Crossroads Sell by Mail program is so easy, you can start the process in minutes.
How to Sell Clothing with Crossroads
First, you’ll want to check if there’s a Crossroads store near you. Selling in person at Crossroads is the fastest way to earn cash or trade from your pre-loved clothing and accessories.
But if there isn’t one nearby, or your short on time, request a free Sell by Mail bag on our website. You’ll be able to select cash or trade for your payout and decide if you want your unpurchased items donated or returned for a fee.
When the bag arrives, clean out your closet! Use our handy selling guide as a reference. It shows you the fashion pieces our buyers are currently looking for.
When the bag is full, use the pre-paid shipping label to mail it off. Wait to hear from one of our buyers once they’ve processed your bag.
Let the Effortless Gent tell you even more about it!
November 21, 2023 Styling a Lace Skirt for the Holidays
Owning a lace skirt makes our holiday looks that much easier to style. This classic fashion piece is anything but one note. It strategically pairs well with multiple pieces and can be worn casually or as evening wear.
Take a look at some of the ways we like to style them during the busy holiday event schedule.
With Boots & a Bomber
A lace skirt gets even more interesting when paired with casual pieces like boots, graphic tees, and oversized jackets like a bomber.
With a Classic Blouse or Button Down
Pair a lace skirt with a blouse or button down to make it office ready. Add a great structured handbag to finish the look.
Ballet-Inspired with a Bodysuit
Add instant balletcore glam with a bodysuit and heels. Go monochrome for the full effect.
With a Blazer
A blazer will easily carry this winter look from office to evening.
Paired with a Soft Sweater
Pretty lace and a soft sweater are a delightful pair! You can even add sneakers to this look to make it weekend-ready.
Matched with a Lace Top
Go all in by finding a complementary top.
We’ve officially entered the holiday season and changing up our wardrobe to meet the occasion. Stop into any of our stores to find your holiday looks, and if you’d like to sell your clothing for holiday cash or store credit, check out our selling guide for all the trends, styles, and labels we’re looking for this season.
November 16, 2023 Earn Holiday Cash by Selling Clothes
Thanksgiving is only a week away, which means we’re starting to wonder where we’ll get all the holiday cash we need for holiday gifts!
What if we told you that one of the best options for holiday cash is sitting right there in your closet?
Selling your gently used, on-trend fashion pieces can result in an immediate cash payout at buy-sell-trade fashion stores like Crossroads.
Crossroads offers a cash payout for what we price your items for, but if you have friends and family who love great secondhand fashion, you can choose trade credit to shop the store!
Take a look at our current selling guide to learn more about what trends, styles, and labels our in-store buyers are looking for right now. Then, check your closet for those pre-loved items that you just don’t reach for anymore. You know the pieces: they just don’t fit right or are no longer your style.
Pack them up and make your way to your nearest Crossroads to get cash or trade credit in your hands right away. No appointment is necessary.
Live too far away from our stores? That’s OK. You can try Sell by Mail instead!
November 14, 2023 3 Ways to Style a Ruffle Dress for Winter
A ruffle dress may be one of the last items you think of when imagining your winter wardrobe, but hear us out.
With a little creative styling, these dresses can be winter-proofed with the right footwear and additional layers. Tights and tall socks can extend their wear into cooler temps too.
And if you live somewhere where it gets really cold, you can consider these dresses for indoor gatherings and holiday parties. Just lean towards your dresses in darker colors and keep accessories in winter textures and shades.
Below are 3 easy ways to style a ruffle dress for winter wear.
1. Belted with Booties
Add a leather belt and boots or booties to freshen the look for cooler weather.
2. With Combat Boots (and Caps!)
Warm socks and combat boots will help you make the seasonal switch, with a cap or beanie adding even more warmth.
3. Add a Vest
Vests come in so many materials and styles, so add this extra layer. We’re very likely to pick sweater vests.
Along with the ruffle dress, there are a number of other trends we’re looking for this season. Check out our current selling guide to see the styles and labels we’d love to add to our racks.
