Looking to refresh your wardrobe? Sell the pieces that no longer fit your form or your style, then use that money to buy previously loved looks from other stylish sellers on Poshmark. Going one step further than showcasing your wares, Poshmark's community members often sell whole styled looks from head to toe. There's a money-back guarantee if you don't like the look you bought, so there's no harm in experimenting. You can even outfit your home, because Poshmark isn't just stuck on fashion (although that is its main export). The app also offers housewares, designer decor items and beauty products.
Shop 'til your drop? More like scroll 'til you you can't no more! Of course, if you've got some pieces you already love that need a little renewal, you may consider having them repaired. Louis Vuitton actually has a fabulous in-house service for all its well-loved products. And if you're in the mood to constantly refresh your wardrobe but don't want to deal with the constant buying-and-selling to keep your wardrobe on trend without overflowing, we're rather proud of our own ModLux.Rent service which allows you to rent three designer pieces at a time for an unlimited amount of times and one monthly fee. Check it out!
