A Needed ThredUp Haul

 I had finally racked up some good trade credit on ThredUp and it was time to find new to me bottoms and my purse strap was on its last thread, literally. I have lost a significant amount of weight and have been refusing to go shopping. I am constantly having to tug at my pants to keep them up. I am happy to say that this was a perfectly successful haul.



The first item that I want to mention is my new purse! It was unbranded. I looked everywhere. It did not have any tags on it. I looked thoroughly for any hints of wear and could not find any! It was the perfect size for me as well. I was also surprised at the little things on the bottom of it to keep it off the floor. My husband was thrilled about this purchase because it meant he did not have to take me shopping for a new purse. He stated that he was about to take me shopping because my other purse looked that rough.




For work, I found a pair of Nicole by Nicole Miller dress pants. (In my state, I am considered an essential employee so I don’t know anything about Stay at Home orders.) I was worried about these as I have had no idea what size I truly wear. Thankfully these fit perfectly. These were in great condition as well. I will wear these until I either wear them out or they get too big as there is a good chance that I am still losing weight.

               


Last but not least, I purchased a New With Tags Hard Rock Cafe onesie. I thought it was too cute to not pick up. It is a size 12 months. It says on the tags it is for boys but it could easily be unisex. Words do not do it justice. I already posted it to Poshmark and will probably post it to EBay too for last-minute Christmas gifts.

                     


As always, I used trade credit and a coupon code to get a better deal. The coupon code I used was from my ThredUp Rewards. These items were also on the final sale. My carbon footprint went up, however, because this haul was sent in 2 packages (the purse was in a big box) but they both arrived the same day.

   


How have you been shopping? What are you on the lookout for? What is your Christmas shopping looking like?

    I've heard a lot about ThredUp but I've never tried it! It looks like a really great site.

      Just like a lot of clothing sites, it can have hit or misses. If you know your size/you can sometimes get some great deals on some great deals. I learned that now to watch for it to say item could be mistaken for new.

      It is mostly been good to me. Most of the issues I have had with it has been with fit but that is not their fault. I just try to flip the item if at all possible.

    I have never tried ThredUp, but I am so intrigued by it. It's great to see that you have such good luck with your finds, and you manage to get items for free with the trade-ins and discounts!

      Right now, they are not allowing more items to be sent in for trade credit or paypal deposit as they are too far behind. As soon as it becomes available, I have more to send in. Most of what I send in are items that I don't think I could sell on my own or items that may not have that great of a resell value. Items that they do not deem sellable on the website I choose to not get back as they say they recycle or donate the items, which would be what I would do with them anyway.
