And last drop of the day! Here's Cynthia being a beautiful angel in this adorable creme colored knit long sleeve (tag was very faded so unsure of brand or size - see Cynthia's model measurements for reference. Would most likely be a size S/M) and great for your future summer wardrobe. Also it matched all the pants Cynthia modeled (swipe), so it is bound to be a closet staple for you!

Bidding ends tomorrow at 7:35 p.m.

Please send any money before 3/11!

⏰ It's that time again! Nominations! ⏰

If you've bid on an item or plan to bid, DO NOT scroll on by. That's rude 🫣

Seriously though, we want your 🫵🏼 opinion on where the money you use to buy these amazing items should go! We've featured 11 nonprofits/community orgs so far but your fav could be next.

Here are the rules:
1. You must be following us
2. You can nominate multiple nonprofits/community orgs (they must be located in RVA) but do not nominate one that has been already featured - we love them too but we want to raise money and awareness for as many orgs as we can!
3. If other people like your comment/also comment the same org as you, the more likely it will move onto the next round!
4. Nominations end this tomorrow at 8 p.m.!

It's hard to choose a favorite pic when Cynthia just looks so cute in all of them. Here she is in this black with red, white, pink, blue and yellow patterned knitted American Eagle sweater (Size S). And did we mention that it is incredibly soft!?!I'm writing this description as I inventory the clothing and I just felt it for the first time in a while and was pleasantly surprised. Not itchy at all! My final endorsement, now let it be free ($2) into the world!

We love this light brown Land's End long sleeve turtle neck (Size M. 38-40 Regular) modeled by Cynthia. If you're interested in the material, the neck is 100% cotton - yay for comfortable turtlenecks and the body of the shirt is 94% cotton and 6% Lycra spandex

We're back with our last drop before we start the nomination process.

We were lacking a bit on donations so we were behind on the photoshoots but we promise to do a story sale before this feature's quarter is up (i.e. a chance to raise money for )

First up is this gold with hints of black and brown paisley patterned scarf modeled by Cynthia. It's a one size fits all. We've had this in our inventory for probably 3 years now and I'm almost positive it was donated with the purple and gold 'Pashmina' silk scarf that we sold back in November 2021 (swipe to see that). It doesn't have a tag like the Pashmina one did but it's soft and just as beautiful!

Another cute mesh shirt - this light & dark green, yellow, blue and black abstract floral patterened mesh SHEIN long sleeve top (Size XL) modeled by Cynthia is so cute. Sorry I couldn't find any models wearing this one.

Before we tell you what time bidding ends tomorrow, I just want to say we know its odd to go on an entire rant about fast fashion in between two items from SHEIN but we aren't here to shame donations or shame those who want these items. But we really do just want people to mindful about what they are buying when they can. 💜

Bidding ends tomorrow at 9:20 p.m.!

Sharing this informative post by (written by .c and designed by ).

As someone who loves fashion and has built a platform over the past few years selling clothes from hundreds of different brands (including ), I wanted to share a dedicated post on something I talk about often.

The industry is extremely harmful and there IS actual power in choosing not to participate in the overconsumption of temporary fashion trends from companies like them. However, I do not believe in shaming those who do not have the financial ability to pay for ethical/eco-friendly clothing nor do I believe people shouldn't have access to the convenience online stores provide (e.g. fast shipping) because sometimes there is a valid need. But this is a friendly reminder there are plenty of other options like thrifting, online shops (depop, PWYC (hehe), poshmark) and even clothing rental companies (like nuuly, rent the runway). These are more affordable and sustainable alternatives that will still allow you to enjoy fashion trends without overconsuming. I encourage you to look into them. Another tip to slow down your shopping impulses is to screenshot an item you like and come back to it in a few weeks (or even months). If you like it after some time has passed, then buy it. I often find items in my screenshots from a few months back that I am relieved I didn't buy.

For those who buy hundreds and even thousands of dollars worth of clothing from fast companies, then that is a big shame on you. If you have the financial privilege, please spend it on clothing that is not only sustainable and ethical, but will last you a long time and won't be given to a thrift store or thrown in the landfill in the next year.

Okay thanks, getting off my soap box. It's slipperyyyy 🧼

Check out this fun light & dark green, blue and white wavy patterned crisscross front mesh SHEIN long sleeve top with gloves (Size Curve OXL) modeled by Cynthia.

We always try to make sure we're modeling clothes on the size it was made for but sometimes our model's schedules can be busy (they're too busy taking over the world). But we did some digging for the listing/reviews and have added how this shirt may fit on an XL at the end of the carousel.

My color app said this is a pale brown. These cute ribbed flared pants modled by Cynthia have the tag cut out but we're almost certain it's Forever 21 and we'd say a size M since they are a little long on Cynthia. Cynthia is 5'1 ( ) but these would be a perfect length with some heels if you're this height.

Alright you know the rules (& if you don't read below), bidding ends tomorrow at 9:50 p.m. sharp. 90% of proceeds go to 💜
