Ladies and, well, Ladies (for now), the time has come for me to launch my “Shop YCS Closet” sale! It is definitely time for me to rid my closet of new or rarely used items and I can’t think of a better way to do it than by offering the items up to the readers and friends of YCS. Below you can get all of the details about how the closet sale works. But remember, sales will only be made from the Shop YCS Instagram account (@shopYCS); therefore, if you aren’t following the account you should go do that right, right now!
About the Clothes, Shoes, and Accessories
Every item sold via the “Shop YCS” closet sale is either brand new with tags (BNWT), brand new without tags, or very gently used (worn/used less than five (5) times). I would not want anyone selling me a bunch of junk from their closet, so I will NOT do that to you guys! A lot of these items have been worn for a blog shoot and nothing else. Or, I purchased them and simply never wore them. The items range from fast fashion (think H&M, Zara), to discount fashion (think Massimo for Target), to specialty plus-size clothing (think Ashley Stewart, Lane Bryant), to designer items (think Calvin Klein, Michael Kors). Clothing sizes include both straight sizes and plus sizes and shoe sizes range from 7.5 – 9, depending on the brand.
ALL clothing is freshly laundered and/or dry cleaned.
The Rules
1. Sales will only be made from the @ShopYCS Instagram account and Poshmark (@ycserika). These are the best places to post your questions about any of the items for sale and place bids for any auction items. Do NOT leave any questions or comments here on the blog – they will not be answered.
2. All sales are final. Prior to purchase, if you are interested in other angles/shots, I will be happy to provide them.
3. $5 flat rate shipping for clothing, accessories, and small handbags. $7 flat rate shipping for shoes and medium/large handbags. Shipping discounts for bundled purchases ($2 per additional item). US shipping ONLY.
4. For sale items, the first person to comment on a photo gets the item. Invoices must be paid within 24 hours of receipt. If not paid, item will go to the next commenter.
5. Items for auction will be posted on Monday by 9am and close Wednesday at 6pm. Highest bidder will win the auction item. Invoices must be paid within 24 hours of receipt. If not paid, item will go to the next highest bidder. Auction items listed on poshmark are sold at the “buy now” price.
6. Payment will be accepted via PayPal and Venmo ONLY. Upon confirmation of sale, please leave a comment with your PayPal email address or Venmo contact information.
7. Items will ship every Friday and Saturday. I will provide tracking information to purchasers for all orders.
8. I will only post 5-6 items/week. This is for two reasons, 1) I do not want to overwhelm purchasers and 2) I do not want to overwhelm myself. You’ll have to check back each Monday to see what new items are up for sale.
I hope you will check out the closet sale via the @ShopYCS Instagram account. There are going to be a lot of great items for sale! Remember, if you have any questions, comment on the account. Happy shopping!!
