“Summer is always a great time for a detox. Cleaning out my closet and selling my clothes with thredUP feels like the perfect way to kick off a cleansing period. Keeping my home in order gives me a sense of calm. An organized home is an organized mind! It’s time for me to let someone else enjoy my clothes, while raising money for a good cause.” — Carole
“…I’d love for Bravo to one day make a ‘bloopers reel’ of all the crazy things that didn’t get into the show. It would be a ratings blockbuster.” — Carole

“I wore this when I was queen of the Staten Island Mermaid Parade. It was such an incredible experience. Nearly 700,000 people showed up to watch the parade. I had so much fun wearing it, but I think it’s time for it to go since when would I ever wear it again? Actually I did wear the skirt (without the bathing suit top) to a wedding and it was a huge hit. Shop my closet on thredUP if you want this super special, one-of-a-kind mermaid costume!” — Carole
Ex files alert! Carole wore this custom dress on the show during a holiday party and with her ex Russ Irwin who appeared in Season 5.

“I wore this to a holiday party where Luann tried to make us sing Jingle Bells…Luckily my dress could act as a bell, which was perfect for the moment. I couldn’t get out of getting on stage but at least I didn’t have to sing. A chic dress is worth a thousand words — or songs. I love it but now it’s time for someone else to enjoy it.” — Carole

THREDUP.COM/DORINDA — LAUNCHES 7/25
“It feels so good to cleanse my closet after this crazy season and start fresh. I’m selling some clothes that remind me of the drama. It’s like a drama detox! Just like getting a revenge bod after a breakup, or hitting the gym after a night of one too many cocktails. I hope the clothes I’m donating with thredUP will bring other women joy and no drama!” — Dorinda
“I wore this dress at LuAnn and Tom’s final party to celebrate their wedding…”
Mary Katrantzou, $336.99,
“One of the pieces I’m selling on thredUP is this Mary Katrantzou dress. I wore this dress at LuAnn and Tom’s final party to celebrate their wedding. I told LuAnn no more parties after this one. She had so many to celebrate her marriage that ended shortly after. I was so over all of the celebrations, enough was enough! And yes, I was sober. I am so happy to donate this dress, I don’t need anything with negative energy in my wardrobe.” — Dorinda
“At the time of the confessional I was in the middle of a huge fight with Ramona, but this was the perfect dress to speak my truth…
Malan Breton, $493.99, thredup.com/dorinda
“This is the dress I wore for my very first confessional. It’s made by my good friend Malan Breton, who I adore. I was so proud to wear it. The best part of this dress is that it has built-in boobs, so you don’t have to wear a bra. At the time of the confessional I was in the middle of a huge fight with Ramona, but this was the perfect dress to wear to speak my truth because it made me feel so confident.” — Dorinda

THREDUP.COM/RAMONA— LAUNCHES 7/26
“I love to reinvent myself and embrace change, whether it’s real estate, a new business or trying to new styles. After that dramatic season, it’s definitely time to refresh Ramona! One thing I’m doing is cleaning out my closet for a little wardrobe reinvention. I’m also donating some clothes that bring back negative memories from the show, like one item that Luann made fun of in her confessional. I’m a positive person and don’t like to dwell in the past! Avery will also be happy I’m getting rid of some ‘younger’ clothes, even though she calls me ‘ageless.’” — Ramona
“The women made fun of this outfit and it really hurt my feelings!…
Elie Tahari, $75.99, thredup.com/ramona
“I wore one of the pieces I’m selling with thredUP to the Hampton Classic in the first season. The women made fun of my outfit and it really hurt my feelings! It was rude, and also just incorrect because the outfit actually looked great on me.” — Ramona

Mandalay, $170.99, thredup.com/ramona
“I was extra fashionably late in this dress. When you look that good other people just have to wait! Whoever buys this dress should definitely wear it to a party where they want all eyes on them. My daughter Avery said I looked just like a Barbie doll. Avery was always very critical about the way I dressed, but it’s a really fabulous dress and I felt like a million bucks in it.” — Ramona
