ThredUp Round 1 of Purchases

One way I purge my closet (and other people's closets) is by sending stuff to ThredUp.com. I always choose the trade credit options that way I can get clothes that fit and brands that I typically can't afford or wouldn't buy. It is thrift shopping without the clutter and the sorting through the racks. 












This attempt was a purchase of three items and of course I used Honey to get a coupon code. These items were final purchase so I can't send them back, which can be a downfall. What really wins me over with purchasing these items is how much, in the end, I am saving and knowing I'm preventing items from going into the landfill.













I tried on the Limited skirt, I couldn't get it to fit. I am trying to find the top I was thinking about wearing with the gray skirt before I try it on. The belt, however, I haven't tried yet either but I definitely needed another belt. My trusty blue cotton belt is showing wear and tear badly. 



I am definitely still sending clothes to ThredUp and I have more purchases to share with you all.

Have you tried ThredUp? Do you use other sources? Let me know (especially if you know of a great men's version of ThredUp).

This post is my own opinion. This is no way a sponsored post.

  2. I've heard good things about Thred Up but haven't tried it yet. Looks like you had a pretty good shipment! I wish I knew of a good men's site similar to this. If you find one, I'd love to hear!

  4. That's unfortunate you couldn't send the items back. I do like the idea of shopping second hand and saving.

    1. I also love the fact I'm buying higher quality brands that I normally wouldn't buy myself in store because the typical clearance prices wouldn't be in my budget.

    1. At least check the site out. I mostly keep track of the markdowns and final sale items. You can also select certain sizes that are labelled as your sizes. Makes shopping easier.

    1. That is originally what I was using it for. I use their payout estimator to decide whether or not to send items to them.

    1. That is why I tell myself I can only shop if I have enough trade credit to cover the entire cost, with or without coupons.

  8. I’ve tried Poshmark, but not thredup yet. I’m always afraid things won’t fit and I won’t be able to return them, but I love being able to reduce waste by buying second hand!

    1. I have heard of Poshmark but haven't tried it. Are they more selective in what you can sell?
