Poshmark

Have you ever cleaned out your closet and realized that you have a bunch of designer stuff (or just other good stuff) that you really like that doesn't fit you anymore or you just don't really wear it, and you'd love to make a few dollars from it because someone might love it, but you don't know how to do it?

I recently discovered the app called "POSHMARK" that lets you do just that. It's like the instagram for selling clothes. It is literally so easy: You take 4 pics of your items, list a few details in the available fields and then post! All listed items generate in a news feed so as you are updating it, you can see what others most recently posted. There are also little "posh parties" where you can post themed items, such as all bags, or Gucci items, etc.
Visit the website poshmark.com or just download the app!


You can communicate with other "poshers" just like on instagram by commenting @theperson at the bottom of their photo. Then when you are ready to buy you literally hit "buy" and then pay an additional $5-7 shipping fees, so if you sell, shipping is covered.

The only downside is that you need to be pretty sure you are going to like the items and ask questions. The other is that poshmark takes 20% of the sales, which comes to be a hefty amount when you sell something at any price; however, it still seems to be better than not selling the item at all or bringing it to a consignment store where they won't accept your never worn designer piece, right?
Users from all over. Lots of items and lots of shoppers!


What are your thoughts? Have you tried it? Any tricks of the trade?

Rainbow Brites

It's funny because last night I got an email from revolveclothing.com that reminded me how much I love rainbows - just a mix of pastel colors.. I'm not talking Bonaroo eat granola in a tie-dye t-shirts here, people. I'm talking more sugar plum fairy mixed with cotton candy delicate looking shades. So anyways, I searched for rainbow dresses and found these 2. I like them both. One more affordable than the other. Could be a good option for a summer wedding or just a happy feeling day time dress - a little "pick me up," if you will.
Something Else by Natalie Wood on revolveclothing.com - $207
Really, that's a great price for a pretty little cotton dress - especially when everything I seem to like that fits well and doesn't look cheap tends to start around $300.
Molly Fitted Ruched Tank Dress by Alice + Olivia on Revolveclothing.com - $495
But whowhatwear.com then had this post today about watercolors - and it just reminded me again, 2 days in a row!! how much I love these colors. Let Spring be SPRUNG, puh-lease!! Ps. It's like hurricane wind in NYC today, and they (whoever they is) are forecasting 3 days of snow coming up.

Need more rainbow?
