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.

June 20, 2024 What is Tenniscore?
The tenniscore trend erupted this spring and is expected to stick around all summer. The look quickly became popular when photographed on celebrities like Zendaya, and it’s honestly a simple look to achieve.
Imagine what you’d wear to a tennis match or a country club, then mimic the look and head out to thrift with friends or have lunch at your favorite hamburger joint. And no, you don’t need to own a tennis racquet to wear the look.
Here are 7 key pieces to consider. Mix and match your favorites!
1. A Tennis Skirt
The base piece for almost every tenniscore look.
2. Lightweight Cardigan
Keep it in tennis white for the most classic of looks.
3. Sporty Sweatshirt
Think varsity letters and country club logos.
4. A Polo Shirt
A rugby shirt would work well too. Bonus points for matching striped socks!
5. Trainers
Because you’ve got places to go.
6. A Sweater Vest
You know how much we love a good sweater vest.
7. A Baseball Cap
There’s no better match for a sporty ponytail.
