2. Take your clothes to a resale or consignment store
If you can make a little extra cash off of your used clothes, you won’t feel guilty about buying that expensive (but completely worth it) J.Crew cardigan. Just make sure you remember to call the stores in your area prior to bringing in bags of clothes to get the best rates for resale or trade. Some popular resale chains include Beacon’s Closet, Buffalo Exchange and Thredup (online). And remember, stores are looking for clothes that will sell right now, meaning your fall clothes from past years will get bought up while you’re better off holding on to that heavy winter coat or bikini.
