What can we expect to see shared to the Host Picks Showroom? As a city girl myself, I like to wear functional and comfy yet still stylish clothes. I think that the Poshmark community can expect to see lots simple and chic pieces. From leather boots to structured blazers to statement jewelry, I am sure that this party will have something for everyone!

What are your favorite City Style pieces or trends? Some of my favorite “City Style” trends are booties with great details on them, big sunnies, and and a great bag that I can keep all of the stuff that I need for my day in it. Micro-bags are also a great thing to have for nights out in the city to hold the essentials!

Posh Tip: How to Measure Your Items

092514_poshtip_intro

Like you, the Poshmark team is eager to buy and sell fashion on the app. There’s nothing better than snagging a major find from a fellow Posher, except maybe when you make a sale.

When it comes to clicking “Buy Now” on those listings we have liked, we too wonder about how the item will fit. As a seller, it can be tricky to know how to best answer fit questions for a potential buyer since sizes can vary.

So whether you’re buying or selling, we’ve come up with this trusty measurement guide to help accurately describe the fit of your item!

How To Measure Shoes

092514_posh tip_heel height

Want to know if a heel is the perfect height for a night out? Be sure to measure from the base of the heel to the tip!

092514_posh tip_insole 092514_posh tip_sole length

Measuring the sole for flats and insole for heels can also help buyers and sellers get a better idea of a shoe’s true size.

How To Measure Dresses & Tops

092514_posh tip_dress bust

Fit can be tricky and can vary by brand and item. To make sure a dress or top is sized just right, the bust can be measured from armpit to armpit.

092514_posh tip_dress arm

Arm length can also be determined by measuring the top of the shoulder all the way down to the sleeve.

092514_posh tip_dress length

Want to make sure the dress is just the right length for the buyer? Measure from the top of the shoulder down to the bottom hem.

How To Measure Bottoms

Trying to snag the perfect jeans? Be sure to measure the waist to determine size accurately.

092514_posh tip_inseam
Measuring the inseam from the crotch to the hem can also help determine the right length for bottoms.

How to Measure Bags

092514_posh tip_bag height 2

To be sure that bag in your “likes” can fit all your everyday essentials, be sure to get measurements! Height can be measured from the base to the top of the item. You can also measure the length from left to right at the base of the bag, and measure the width of either side.

How to Measure Watches

092514_posh tip_watch

When measuring a watch or bangle, be sure to measure the circumference of the interior to be sure it fits the wrist perfectly!

Influencer Spotlight: Fall Fashion with The House of Sequins and Missy on Madison

Tonight’s Fall Forward Posh Party is not just the perfect place to snag your new cool-weather wardrobe, but it’s a chance to shop the curated collection of two fab bloggers: Sarah from The House of Sequins and Melissa from Missy on Madison. We asked them to each share a favorite fall look as well as a sneak peek into what they’ll be sharing as Host Picks. Join in the in-app fun at 7pm PST.

Sarah | @all4designer

We’re loving Sarah’s fall layers – can’t go wrong with a faux-fur trimmed vest, flared denim and a hobo bag. Did we mention that the 3.1 Philip Lim bag is for sale in her closet, too?

For the insider scoop on what Sarah is looking to feature at the party, she’s loving jewel tones, structured totes, moto and biker style leather jackets, and leopard print.

Melissa | @missyonmadison

092314_influencer_melissa

“I love this look for fall because it is sexy, colorful and edgy,” Melissa says. Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Sh’es got the fall brights trend down pat with the Prabal Gurung for Target top and Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac bag in candy apple red. Plus, you can score the distressed jeans and caged shoes in her closet!

What is Melissa eyeing for host picks? Here’s a rundown of fall pieces she’s loving: quilted ballet flats, camo jackets, studded heels, satchels, statement earrings and fringe anything.
