Calling All Mommies: Stefanie's Closet Is Open for Business


A few weeks ago, my girlfriend Stefanie sent out an email letting some of her nearest and dearest know that her closet was open for business; Not the one in her home, but her very own virtual store.

A while back, Stefanie opened an eBay store http://stores.ebay.com/Stefanies-Closet and began selling resale clothing for children.  In addition, she sometimes has women’s and men’s clothing. 

“What initially began as an experiment has turned into a full-fledged, part-full time business venture,” said Stefanie who is an eBay Top Rated Power Seller, “Turns out that there is quite a market for these items.”

Stefanie sells all sizes of children’s clothing for all seasons from 12 months and up.  She is not particular and sells all brands for kids, but all items are clean and free from stains, rips or tears. 

Her gently-used or new items include, but not limited to, the following:  shorts, shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, jeans, shoes, leggings, costumes, pajamas, sweaters, sweatshirts and leotards.

For women and men, she only sells brand name labels.

In addition, if you live in the South Bay of Southern California, Stefanie is currently restocking her inventory and will give you cash for any of your own unwanted items to sell at her virtual store. 

Since she does not work on consignment, she will pay cash outright for all accepted items; however, they must be in the same aforementioned condition. 

Cash paid is $1 to $2 per item and she will provide an itemized spreadsheet if necessary.

“I recently paid $150 to a mommy friend who was cleaning out her kid’s closets so believe me, it can add up.” said Stefanie who pays it forward by donating or giving any unwanted items to families in need.

If you are local and interested in contacting Stefanie about selling any unwanted items you may find in your own closest, please comment or email to allthingsfashionating@gmail.com; or visit Stefanie’s store at http://stores.ebay.com/Stefanies-Closet

I Was a Club MTV Dancer

Image
Back in the 1990s, I had a friend who worked at In Style Magazine. She had some connections and got me, and another friend, a gig dancing on Club MTV. The original host – Downtown Julie Brown – was holding the mic and the Pet Shop Boys were rocking The Palladium in New York City during those early years of the MTV show. The show, which was modeled after American Bandstand, cut back and forth between teen-agers (uh, hum and young adults) who would dance to hit songs and videos of those songs.   Often there were musical guests who performed their new singles; such guests included Paula Abdul, Deee-lite, Salt-N-Peppa, Black Box, Vanilla Ice, Samantha Fox and MC Hammer just to name a few. The first time I had the opportunity to dance, I was completely excited but wasn't sure what to expect. I was told to bring several changes of clothes as we would be filming part of a season over a two day period. At the time, I was still going to college and living at home w...

For The Love of Shopping

Back in the days before I had kids, I would hoard gift cards and checks sent for my birthday and Christmas.   I would savor them for a day in the future when I could get my “shop” on.     My master plan was to set out – all by my lonesome – to my favorite local mall on a Saturday or Sunday morning.   I would always splurge and stop at Starbucks for a Venti latte. Then I would walk the mall, checking out all my favorite stores and scouring the fashion, sales and prices at various shops. Comfy shoes were a must because I never, ever purchased on my first walk through.   This was my research.   Being on a budget, I felt compelled to find the right pieces for my wardrobe but, even more importantly, at the right price. One shopping trip in particular, I ventured into my local mall’s double-decker Forever 21.   I had my coffee, the music was pumping and a gift card was in my pocket:   I was on a natural high that was fueled by the endorphin...

Two In-Vince-able Collections

Image
I committed a fashion faux pas. At first, I wasn’t even aware of my transgression but, after doing a little research, I realized that I have confused two fashion brands: VINCE and Vince Camuto. Now, this is not surprising and, on occasion, I must live up to my blond hair.  Such as the Louboutin debacle:  I own two pair of the iconic red-soled shoes yet it took me three fashion seasons to be able to say the brand name without stuttering or second guessing myself.  So, with all the different designers and brands out there, I simply can’t assume all the responsibility to know everything about everything, but I certainly try.  So, in this case, I realized that I had to educate myself and figure out the difference between VINCE and Vince Camuto. VINCE, a contemporary clothing line for women and men, was founded in 2002 by Rea Laccone and Christopher LaPolice on the principals of iconic design and superior quality, according to Wikipedia. Sold to the Kellwood Company ...
