Since I have
way too many dresses, I recently decided to clean out my closet and part ways with dresses that I (a) had not worn in at least two years or (b) that simply didn't fit me well. I had a rack full of about 140 dresses at my neighborhood porch sale this past weekend. I tagged each and every one, thinking each time of when I had last worn it, or when I had originally bought it. Some people have smell memories; I have dress memories.
Ultimately, though, I ended up selling... only four dresses. Hardly anyone came to shop, so I was hugely disappointed. I spent a lot of my precious weekend hours getting ready for the sale.
I've decided now to sell some of those dresses on
Poshmark, a site for buying and selling fashion. Check out my items
here. I plan to add a lot more dresses to my Poshmark "closet" in the coming weeks. If Poshmark is a bust, I will try some local consignment shops, but Poshmark takes 20% commission as opposed to 35% at local boutiques like
Alexis Suitcase, so I definitely want to see if Poshmark can work for me. eBay is another option I might try.
If you have any other ideas, please leave them in the comments!
Outfit Details
Today's dress is one I've owned for a few months. The pastel pink color combined with the knit fabric make it perfect for spring, but since I waited too long to wear it, a hot day in September will have to do! The high today is 95 degrees, though. Sheesh!
Dress:
Parker Paulette Knit Pink Dress
You can find the dress at
Amazon and the
Parker website. My husband even paid me a compliment today: "For a high neck dress, that's pretty," he said.
Shoes:
Sophia Webster Rosalind Gem Sandals
I adore these shoes! Aren't they beautiful?
