June 30, 2022 5 Fringe Skirt Looks for Summer
A fringe skirt is for the fashion adventurous. It takes a look to the next level with its shape and movement.
There are different ways to wear one, dependent on your personal style and the occasion you’re dressing for. In fact, we can think of 5 fringe skirt looks we really like for summer.
Keep scrolling to see what we selected.
1. Hi-Lo
No one says a fringe skirt has to be part of a fancy look. Give it a hi-lo feel by pairing it with a band tee, tank top, or leather.
2. Mini
Fringe is especially fun in a mini look. We like the look of this one with a billowy blouse.
3. Metallic
If you serve fringe up in a metallic tone, you get this beautiful tinsel-like look.
4. Shawl Wrap
A long shawl wrap offers the benefit of just a touch of fringe, plus a cozy blanket-like piece for your chilling office AC.
5. Jewel Tones
Go bold and bright with the fringe skirt color you choose. Amp up the piece by finding one in rich tones like emerald and ruby.
And finally, when looking for a fringe skirt at your local Crossroads location, bring in your gently-used seasonal clothes to sell. You may get that new stunner with store credit!

June 23, 2022 How to Work in Sustainable Fashion
If you’re wondering how to work in sustainable fashion, we may have the answer for you. Consider launching your career with a resale fashion company like Crossroads.
The resale fashion industry is growing quickly. It stands out from traditional retail for its unique shopper experience (ever-changing inventory) and environmentally-friendly benefits. Secondhand shopping gets pre-loved clothing into new hands and gives clothing a longer life.
Here’s what resale fashion looks like at Crossroads!
Who We Are: We’re one of the original secondhand fashion retailers, fresh off of celebrating 30 years in business!
What We Do: We buy, sell, and trade gently used fashion pieces at 35 store locations across the U.S. Sellers bring in their gently-used clothing to sell for cash or store credit. Shoppers enjoy racks of pre-loved clothing at prices well below original retail.
What We’re Known For: We’re proud of our elevated secondhand shopping experience. Our in-store buyers curate the rack selections with the latest seasons and trends in mind. The clothing selection varies from popular mall brands to vintage gems to designer pieces.
So our best tip for how to work in sustainable fashion is to join us at Crossroads. Are we hiring? You bet we are!
Read more about our career benefits and see our job offerings here. Besides being a resale fashion store, we’re a big team of people who love fashion and the environment.
