Does anyone have a suggestion for donating nice women’s clothing? I have a bunch of club monaco, jcrew, aritzia pieces that I no longer wear after my second child. I know i can drop it off at goodwill/salvation army but pretty sure they just throw half of those clothes donations away and this is nicer stuff.

Sell it

the amount of money you can sell these clothes on poshmark is not worth the amount of time you have to put into selling them. I know because I tried! A $170 aritzia dress won’t even sell for $20

I don’t have a specific place in Chicago for you but when I used to live in LA, there was a local org that took nicer clothes so foster kids could choose / “shop” there for interviews. I bet there are a few places like that locally, hopefully someone can help!

I post on freecycle groups

Could you work with a couple of other colleagues to organize a clothing swap at work? My office just did this and it went over well, and we donated everything that was left at the end was donated to a non-profit.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
