After paying off our enormous credit card bill for March which included things for the home and a number of indulgent nights on the town in February, I only had enough spending money left to buy one item... the following dress from Country Road:
March... Bumper eBay sales but only one wardrobe addition!
In the month of March I sold in excess of $2000 worth of old stuff... 67 items to be exact. When I say old, I mean clothing sporting the old Country Road label and pieces by brands long forgotten. I also sold some coveted pieces from years gone by, such as the Chrissie coat by Lover the Label and the "Twiggy" dress by Sretsis. Gone are also a number of items I had been hoarding in my so called 'twilight zone' - I decided it was time to let go. It feels so good to be free of this stuff!

If you are like me (a little fat from eating too much cheese) and enjoy filling your wardrobe with lots of boring pieces, I implore you to go and try this dress on. It is so amazingly flattering on! In it, I look two sizes smaller than I really am... the size label on the dress is two sizes larger than all the stuff I sold. It really is a great dress.

Love this dress and have it in my wish list. I fear I am ODing on country road this season though.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the eBay sales!
no such thing as OD on CR!
DeleteWow good work with the ebay selling! $2000 is a huge achievement :)
ReplyDelete67 items. Oh my goodness. But well done you. I agree it must be extremely liberating to be free from those items in the twilight zone. I should just get on with it and follow your lead and stop procrastinating.
ReplyDeleteYou need to force yourself.
DeleteInstead of blogging (as much as I enjoy reading your blog), cull... then blog about it ;) It's really satisfying to get rid of stuff that does not get used.
Jeez $2000! I'm lucky if I get $5 for my ebay items. But, as you said, they were coveted items! Good on you.
ReplyDeleteThat dress does look nice!
Only a few things were coveted the rest sold for $5-$50. It ALL adds up!
Deletegorgeous dress! sounds like it's a very worthy wardrobe addition, it would be perfect to throw on for work or casual and still look amazing x
ReplyDeleteWow, great work with all the Ebaying! That dress looks gorgeous, such a perfect shape.
ReplyDeleteWow $2k that is an amazing effort!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I had a massive cull recently and sold 46 items on eBay...paid for my wedding flowers and make-up!
ReplyDeleteYay! I love reading about such eBay success stories :)
DeleteI love the shape of this dress - it's right up my alley! Congrats on the sales, I will be doing something very similar soon as I'm also fat from eating too much cheese (and crackers and chocolates and basically everything designed to taste delicious and instantly inflate the muffin top) and I have to get rid of all the clothes that are now a 2-3 sizes too small! /o\
ReplyDeleteMy intention is to lose some weight, but I figure when I do I will want to reward myself with a new dress and not dig out something six year's old.
DeleteDelicious food is my achilles' heel...
Good on you for selling so much! I always forget about that little total in the side bar! I often wonder where all the money goes from it though after I receive it hah.
ReplyDeleteLoving that dress - I saw it in CR but resisting the temptation to try it on ;)
Congrats on your bumper eBay sales! And what progress in your culling - 67 out - 1 in. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteSo far I have only managed to list shoes & boots which made $500. I have another 40 things to list. They are all wintery so hoping to get them up by the end of the month.
Well done!
DeleteDoesn't it feel great to rid yourself of the excess in your life?
I still have a long way to go...
Congratulations that a huge achievement. Well worth the effort. Gorgeous dress as a reward too.
ReplyDeleteIt is my dream to one day do the same thing on eBay :) and the dress is lovely. xA
ReplyDeleteStop dreaming and start doing... it's really easy :)
