ThredUP review/ haul

Do you really need new clothes, but are too cheap, like me, to pay mall prices for really nice, name brand clothing?? You're in luck because I recently stumbled upon this really cool website thredup.com and I have absolutely fell in love with it!!!

For real though, I needed business, professional clothes for my internship this upcoming semester and was pretty much at a loss when I started shopping around for deals that I would actually pay money for. Dress pants alone are easily $50 a piece, making me quite depressed to go shopping for once!! Then, one magical day, I was watching my usual YouTube line up when I had a thought.. "Hmmm, she gets a lot her kids clothes for super cheap through consignment events. I wonder if there is a such thing as an online consignment shop." Literally I typed into google "adult online consignment clothes" and wouldn't you know it, thredup was the very first thing to pop up!!

Here are my reasons why:

First outfit: The dress pants are Gap brand and I know they are made to wear very well, and they look and feel brand new off the shelf, for $5 it was just impossible to say no to even try them. The blouse, however, was very worn when I received it and tried it on, but nothing a mother's touch can't fix. The problem was that it hung way to low in the front as if it had been stretched out, but we simple sewed the sleeves up into a little ruffle and it fits like brand new again! Also, for the price its hard to say no just to try it on.

Second Outfit: The Banana Republic pants are in great condition, flawless, again for $5, and will definitely last me. The Blouse I found for $8.50 brand new with tags still on it!!

Third Outfit: This dress I picked out for the end of summer/ beginning of fall heat. It doesn't allow for cleavage to show and go down to around knee length, but is still lightweight (perfect for a work environment). I wasn't 100% when I saw it online because it is a butterfly pattern, but in person the pattern is subtle enough that is just looks like a black and brown pattern.

Fourth Outfit: My one casual outfit for school, purely because I've ripped all my jeans! I really like the look of these "baseball t-shirts" plus this one is super soft! For the jeans, I was looking specifically for American Eagle brand because they have always fit and looked the best on me, unfortunately I was unaware they were short, not regulars :( on the bright side,  this gives me a chance to explore their return policy! Yay for positivity!

The best part about this purchase is that first orders receive 40% off! My total for all of these outfits before the discount was $56.43. The 40% took off 22.57. In the end, I only paid 33.86!!! This was absolutely a great bargain for great products. Also, I received an email only a few after after order that my items had been shipped and should arrive with in a week, which they arrived promptly! I would rate this with a 5 on a 5 star rating system (5/5).
