Have you heard of Poshmark? Poshmark is taking the online “yard sale” community by storm! I first heard of Poshmark in December 2011 when they first launched, but didn’t download the app or sign up until April of 2012.
Poshmark is a quick and painless way to list items from your closet and make some cash. Poshmark also makes it easy for sellers to share items across a variety of social media platforms (I’m still waiting for Poshmark to feature Instagram!); what a great way to attract new customers!
You can read about how to use Poshmark here, here, and here.
Let’s get down to real business! I’ve sold several things using Poshmark and after some thought I’ve decided to make Poshmark my one-stop-modest clothing shop! I often get emails, Facebook messages, and Instagram comments questioning if I’m selling things from my closet and I can finally respond with, “YES!”
The items listed in my Poshmark closet are either from my own closet or items that I purchased specifically to resale. The items posted are in new or nearly new condition. I’m listing all of my items for $25 (some less).
I’ll be adding more items throughout the week and will update my Instagram and Facebook feeds when new things are posted.
It can be very difficult to purchase clothing online, so I do my absolute best to describe all items in detail and provide as many photos as possible.
Quick tips:
- Know your measurements! Find an item of clothing that fits you well and take measurements of that item in addition to your actual measurements (bust, waist, hips, length, arm circumference).
- Understand the difference between petite, misses, women’s, and juniors sizes.
- Realize that vintage sizing can differ from modern sizes. Vintage sizing is typically smaller and I will make sure that is stated in the listing.
- Read up on materials and fabrics.

My bright mango-colored dress is totally saying “Spring”. Unfortunately, here in Florida, Winter lasts a week, Spring lasts a weekend, and Summer is already in full swing by now. Even long flowy dresses feel like a winter coat and boots in this mid-80 degree weather. I suppose every season wherever you are has its quirks.
How are you enjoying Spring in your state?

I always admired people who could layer well, but for me — the simpler the better. Perhaps I’ve adopted that mentality because I live in hot and sunny South Florida. My steps to getting dressed usually consist of putting on a top, a skirt, and some shoes. If I can narrow those steps down to a dress and some shoes, even better! When I happen to add other items to the outfit, like a blazer or vest (not counting undergarments, of course!), then most likely I’m counting that as “putting in a little extra effort” or “getting fancy”. Another fun fact about me. I think we’re learning quite a lot in these posts.
You may be wondering why I’m posting here today. (Or perhaps you’re not wondering, and you are just happy to see me… You’re my favorite.) Starting today, I will be posting every other Wednesday instead of Thursday. Hope you don’t mind
