Out With The Old, In With The Cash

How many times have you gone through your closet and had the hardest time parting with an item because "Aww... I remember when I wore this...", "I'm sure I'll wear this again...", or "I'm going to keep this in case I can fit in it again one day. I'll use it as motivation..."? Well, it's amazing how your thought process changes when you have the option of receiving cash for it. ;)

As my "Wish List" Pinterest board was starting to expand (Yes, I am Sam, and I admit I have a problem), I was trying to think of ways that I could fund my shopping and fashion obsession without Blake having a coronary. That's when I discovered the wonderful world of Poshmark (Get the App). If you have never heard of it, it is a website devoted to buying and selling fashion. Not only can you make money for those clothes sitting in the back of your closet that you insist you will wear again, but you can also find amazing deals on designer fashions from other sellers.

This is a screenshot of my Closet in the app. Link to my closet.

You simply set up a profile, your "Closet", where you set up your sizing information and easily list your items for sale. Shipping is super easy. Poshmark emails you prepaid shipping labels. Buyers are given three days to decline/accept the purchase once it has been received, and then, VOILA, your money is released.

I seriously scored BIG TIME with these Tory Burch flats that I have been dreaming of forever. 

There was no way that I could justify or be willing to part with a hefty $225 for ballerina flats, so I went searching. I literally used the search function in the Poshmark app, and found a huge listing of Tory Burch flats in my size (Since you put your sizing info in your profile, it searches based on your size!). I found these babies listed for $140 and was able to get the seller to settle upon $120. I had sold some pieces in my closest, so I had credits to apply to purchase price. Woohoo! They have practically been glued to my happy feet since.

If you choose to create your own closet, make sure to join with code: BIFEH, and you will receive a $5 credit to apply to your first purchase!

Happy Poshing!
