I was beyond excited to get this ThredUp purchase. This haul includes 4 items in total. This purchase had several items that I could see myself wearing again and again. Most of these items were perfect for me, for once. I may have finally got this sizing thing down.
The first item was a Medium Cynthia Rowley TJX Sweater Dress. It fit me perfectly! It was the perfect length and a great fit. It is a dress that I plan on wearing around Christmas this year. I can also wear it to work since it works within our color scheme. It is a superb addition to my wardrobe for days that I don’t want to put much effort into but look like I did.
The next item is a Large Rampage Sleeveless Lace Dress. My intention with this dress was to wear it year-round. Wear it as is in the summer, add a light cardigan over it in the spring, and wear a long sleeve tee under it in the fall, and a sweater over it in the winter. However, this dress didn’t fit. From the way it fits in the chest and shoulders, it must be Juniors sizing. The chest was too tight. This dress has been posted for sale on Poshmark already, listed as a Juniors large.
One item I am saving for spring is the size 12 En Focus Lace Dress. It has a thin lining. It is also a spring-y color. It was roomy in the chest and knee-length. I could easily wear it to work as well as any Easter functions I may need to attend. It would also come in handy in the humid summer months as well. It is that light.
The one item that I haven’t been able to stop wearing is these Ann Taylor Factory Dress Pants. I have been wearing them to work a lot. I can wear them dressed down like khakis or dressed up with a nice blazer. I have gotten several compliments on them as well. They are so soft and don’t bug me by the end of my shift. They don’t ride down either. (How many times a week can I get by with wearing these?) Definitely a well worth it purchase.
In the end, I wound up paying less than fifty cents an item plus shipping and taxes on these items. There happened to be a $10 off purchase coupon floating around at this time that helped make these items so low. Ironically, these purchases were not final clearance. I did use trade credit to make this purchase as always. I expect that even if I have to lower the price on the Rampage dress, it will essentially cover the entire cost of this order.
What brands do you swear by? What is that one item you can’t seem to quit wearing?
