I’m going to keep the opening of this post brief because I have so much information to throw at you, I don’t want to muddy up the start with too many cute stories and long winded garbage.
Selling your clothes online, called reselling, is a hobby and a lifestyle.Â
Two months ago my closet bar buckled under the weight of the stuff I had hanging on it, and I decided (Andy decided) it was time for me to massively purge all the things not bringing me joy, and that apparently included lots of things with tags still on them, stuff I wore once, and some of my jeans from high school.Â

Why sell your clothes?
This is a good question. Why not just donate them?Â

I know, it’s not pretty, but it’s honest. So there’s that.Â
I’ve also spent a lot of money acquiring the clothes, and it’s perfectly okay to want to make something back from that investment. What began as a way to recoup some […]
