December 21, 2023 How to Sell Clothes for Cash
Selling clothes for cash is quick and easy at Crossroads stores.
Stop In Anytime
Unlike online marketplaces or selling apps, you can bring in all your clothes to a Crossroads store and try to sell them all at once.
No individual photographs, no caption writing, no buyer questions, no post office runs!
Crossroads stores buy all day every day and don’t require an appointment. That makes it even more convenient.
You just stop in, sign up to sell on our waitlist, and wait to be called. Our trained buyers assess and purchase items on the spot.
And even better: you can collect your cash before you leave the store.
Another Option: Store Credit
When our buyers are done, you’ll have the option to take your payout as cash or trade. Trade is store credit that can be used at any Crossroads location, and it’s the perfect way to refresh your closet with new finds.
Many of our sellers use trade as a way to “revolve” their wardrobes with excellent secondhand finds.
Crossroads Sell by Mail
Want cash for clothes but don’t have a Crossroads nearby, or you’re feeling short on time? Try our Sell by Mail program instead! Here’s how it works: order a bag online, fill it with the freshly-laundered and gently used items you want to sell, and send it off. It comes with a pre-paid postage label, and you can choose to have unpurchased items donated or returned to you.
Whichever selling method you choose, Crossroads makes it easy to sell your pre-loved clothes quickly.

December 19, 2023 Casual New Year’s Eve Outfits
The countdown is near, and casual New Year’s Eve outfits may be what you have in mind.
We covered fancier looks recently, but we know the appeal of an evening at home with friends, watching a holiday movie or listening to everyone’s playlists from the year. After all, sometimes the best dance floors are in our living rooms!
If you’re signed up for a casual New Year’s Eve, we have some outfit inspiration for you.
Monotone Cozy
From the teddy bear coat to the sweatsuit and handbag, all of these pieces are New Year’s Eve cozy. However, something about the monotone palette elevates the look.
Standout Sweater
When we want to show up in jeans and flats, we count on an impeccable sweater to dress up the look.
Navy & Black
This color combination scares off a lot of people, and that’s what makes it extra special and so chic.
Sweater & Slip Skirt
It’s a look that’s easy to pull together and comfortable for an evening in, while still showing off some of your favorite winter pieces.
Leather/Faux Leather Pants
You can pair these with anything from a soft sweater to a silk blouse to a white tee.
Sweater Vest & Wide-Leg Trousers
You know how we love a sweater vest! Pair it with wide-leg trousers for a sophisticated casual look.
Overcoat
With a beautiful overcoat like this wool camel one, you can dress up any look for your New Year’s evening.
Looking for dressier holiday outfit options? We wrote about those too!
