![]() I had several tops in both long and short sleeves, shorts, pants, dresses, and sweaters. The thing about thredUP is that it is consignment items that are in good condition-some of my items arrived with tags still on them! In this box, I had 10-15 items to choose from and a style card with these, as well. ThredUP uses a similar process of a profile with lots of questions about style, pricing, etc., has you choose a subscription option (I chose 3 months for this one, as well), pay your $10 non-refundable deposit that also credits towards any items purchased and it arrived within a few days, as well. Processing was super easy-I logged in, selected what to keep (the blouse), gave reasons for what I didn’t like on the others to help my stylist for future boxes, and was charged the difference for what I kept (they do give a good discount if you keep everything, too!) I then put them in a return shipping bag that was included and dropped it at the post office within the 3-day turnaround time. ![]() Both super cute, but the jumpsuit ended up being way too long and, while I liked the look of the blouse, jeans, and sweater with the boots, I already had the boots in another color and wasn’t a fan of the style of jeans they sent, so only kept the blouse. It arrived within a few days of submitting and I got 2 cute outfits-a black jumpsuit and a blouse, sweater, jeans, and boots, as well as with a card on how to work them into different looks. I was surprised by how detailed the profile was and was lucky enough to get a referral credit to try it out for free for my first box (I did have to pay the difference for anything I decided to keep). You pay a $25 deposit for the clothes that, if you decide to keep anything, credits toward them. Stitch Fix uses personal shoppers and special algorithms to find items at your price point to send you new items on a one time or recurring subscription basis, based on your profile you create-I chose every 3 months, I’m not looking for too many things and prefer over time for both budget and closet size reasons. Let me start with a little background on both. I settled on Stitch Fix and thredUP as my goody box options to compare them and share what I learned. Some of my friends and favorite YouTubers mentioned the mail order fashion goody boxes, and I wondered if that might be a way to go. ![]() It reached the point it was time to jazz up the wardrobe, but I dreaded shopping. Occasionally, a dress or nice outfit is thrown into the mix for zoom meetings or if I have an event after work, but not often, especially since I take breaks to go for a walk midday. My uniform has settled into t-shirts and either shorts or pants, depending on the weather. But when I left my brick-and-mortar school to teach virtually, I didn’t need them and didn’t have a budget for new school shirts, so used what I had. I eventually adopted a uniform for work, using shirts with my school’s logo on it, and didn’t sweat it. But then I could never find what I was looking for. I learned that, when I shop, I should have an idea of what I was looking for or shop to fill specific holes in my wardrobe. But when I ran out of both credit and closet space, I realized I had to change some things. I had no problem spending money when I would go shopping in my younger years, buying anything that appealed to me that fit both my available balance and my body. I know, crazy, right?! Or, maybe it’s more I don’t like hunting. This is why I don’t second guess trying things that might not workout for me, I’ve never had problems with ThredUP & their easy returns.I don’t like shopping. ![]() Lucky for me thredup returns are EASY! Check some boxes, print your label & slam it in the mailbox for the USPS to pick up. The material isn’t what I’d want for working out & just a bad fit. Cool, cool I love when a pair of leggings pulls me in…just nope, no to these. But while putting Emily to bed & cruising ThredUP for Spanx brand items (LOVE their jeans), I came across workout pants from Spanx. Let’s start with the loser of the group… honestly I should have known better because I don’t like leggings with very few exceptions. Oh & let’s get the thredup coupon out of the way in case that’s the reason you are really here □ Just use this link & you will get $10 off your first order! And I love sharing all my thrifted outfits in fun planned out shoots but hauls with a selfie in the mirror just gets me all nostalgic for the old blogging days! So today I’m going to share the goodies I collected from the month of June shopping ThredUP, along with some returns I made. I love shopping ThredUp! We all know I am a sucker for my local thrift stores, shopping second hand is just a very natural thing for me.
