ThredUP

I love shopping for clothing secondhand. Be it thrift, consignment, or even tag sale, it is a great way to help keep within my shopping budget and allows me to add higher end pieces to my wardrobe at prices I can stomach.  

Of course these stores are highly localized, require me to scour through the racks, and if I hope to find the good stuff, I have to visit frequently so I can get it as soon as it comes in. It can be fun, but it can also be frustrating and exhausting. 

You can imagine how excited I was when I heard about ThredUP, an online consignment store, with a huge, searchable inventory. 

Looking for a black cocktail dress in a size six? With a couple of clicks you've got nearly two hundred to choose from. 

ThredUP isn't just for shopping either, they are a consignment shop, which means you can send them your clothes for cash. Personally I've never liked brining my clothes to consignment stores, because I hated feeling judged by the person looking over my clothes. With ThredUP, you can check the value of your clothes at home, decide what is worth sending, then mail them in. No worrying about judgement, just money in your PayPal account. 

This week I am participating in the ThredUP style challenge, where I was given $150 to create a week's worth of outfits. Because I found such amazing deals, like this new with tags silk dress for only $30, I was actually able to purchase eight items. So you will be seeing all of my purchases over the next few days.
