I’ve spoken before about my love affair with Crossroads Trading Co. a buy, sell, trade store located here in LA (they have other locations listed on their website) If you are into recycling for the environment, this is a great way to do it.
This past trip for example, I brought a bag of clothing that I no longer wear but is a little too nice for Goodwill. I opted to trade which gives me 50% of their resale value in credit towards anything in the store (you can also opt for cash which is 35%.) Here’s what I scored:
My mission was color and this yellow top (which looks WAY better on than it does in these photos) was such a great find. I just love the detail!
This white denim skirt from Gap is my way to incorporate the white jean trend in my wardrobe. The top? Well I never met a stripe I didn’t love and I since the red and white version was missing from my wardrobe this was a no brainer!
This J.Crew button down is so flirty and feminine which isn’t my go to aesthetic but is a perfect addition to my closet. It also fits amazing (They don’t call it the Perfect Shirt for nothing!) Oh did I mention it was $4.75? NO JOKE
This was a very monumental purchase. It is my very first maxi dress. I am NOT a maxi girl AT ALL. I love the look on others, but hate it on me…and yet…there was something about this dress that made me try it on. Just goes to show me to never say never…
This striped dress is amaze…(like I said, never met a stripe I didn’t love) It was a mid calf length but since long length is not my thing (I got one maxi, lets not push it) I brought it to the tailor to have it shortened. I can not wait to wear it!
This is another flirty feminine piece but I was drawn to the color and could picture myself wearing it to a backyard bbq, sunday brunch or running errands.
With my credit I only spent $13! Can you believe?! I also opened myself up to things I would ordinarily be drawn to. I am beyond thrilled!
