A few weeks ago I received the cutest polka dot box in the mail. It was full of several fun finds I picked up from thredUp. If you remember and shopped the very first thredUp website then you really owe it to yourself to head back over there and check out everything they have done to make it even nicer. I have to say that it was truly a joy to shop and I was surprised at just how many great finds there were at excellent prices.
When it comes to back to school shopping for me (I work as a school counselor) I truly hate it. Here’s the deal, I don’t like to spend money and I want to make sure I buy versatile items so that I can pair them accordingly in order to stretch out my wardrobe. What that means for me is that there is usually no money left over for the fun splurge items. You know, we all have a few of those items we see that just do not seem practical but we really want. So, when thredUp contacted me about checking out the website and seeing what I could find, I was thrilled at the outcome!
thredUp has all of the brands that I love like: LOFT, Banana Republic, Gap and Free People. When I did a quick comparison, the prices were significantly less than the stores. thredUp says that their clothes will always be up to 90% off the original price which makes me happy. What I also noticed is that their prices are even better than some of my favorite boutique consignment stores. Win/Win!
For $100 I purchased: 1 Banana Republic blouse, 1 LOFT dress jacket, 1 LOFT blouse, 1 Banana Republic 3/4 sleeve shirt, 1 LOFT cocktail dress, and 1 black peacoat from LOFT. That’s a lot of stuff for $100! The best news is that it all fit because I knew what size I wore in those brands of clothing.

Such cute clothes. I hate spending money as well. I do need some new clothes though.
That sounds like a neat service. I rarely buy clothes online because some brands fit funny, but that was smart of you to get brands you already knew.
I would love to try this service. I have no time to shop for myself.
I love this and have heard a lot about ThredUp. I wanted to try it, but being plus sized I worry that it will be harder for me to find clothes.
I am amazed at the bargains you found. I am even more impressed that they are in the brands you love. Thanks for sharing the great way you got back to school for less!
I love ThredUp. I have use them for kids clothes. So I need to check out their adult stuff.
I’ve used thredUP for my kids clothes. It’s a great way to clean out the closet and get a little extra cash.
Thanks for the coupon code. thredUP looks like a great way to shop for back to school.

I really love ThredUP, I discovered them a few months ago! It’s a great place to do some back to school shopping for sure!
I have heard really awesome things about ThredUp! I’d love to give it a try and save some cash! 😉
i’ve been hearing really good things about ThredUp myself. I have my brands I stick with at stores, why not online too?
I had no idea Thread Up has changed so much. You’re absolutely right that I need to revisit that site!
I keep hearing about this! I’ll have to give it a try!
That $100 really did go a long way. You can’t walk out of Banana Republic with an item for under $100 most days.
I didn’t even know they had those brands there. I need to look because that was a score.
I am so impressed with the brands that they offer. I think you got one heck of a deal. I am rushing over to check out the site now. Thanks!
Those look like really cute clothes. I love cute clothes on a budget
I love what you got! Definitely big savings too
Anytime I can save money on back to school shopping, I jump on it. It gets so expensive to outfit my kids every year!
I don’t typically buy my clothes online. I never know how something is going to fit. I like how this service has brands we know which would make it easier to order online. The great selection of clothes is nice.
Wow, what a steal of a deal!! I bought my son’s winter coat there last year, and it was GAP. I have to say it was in good condition too!!
I just love ThredUp! I remember when they were in Beta and accepted pretty much anything. It was so thrifty, Now its much more consignment boutique.
This is a great service and thanks for the coupon code! I will have to check this out.
That’s cool! I hadn’t heard of this service before now. How nifty!
I’m headed over to take a look. Thank you for the incentive too, that’s a great way to start a first shopping trip. 🙂
I’ve heard a lot about thred up. I need to head over there to check it out. Your coat alone was worth the price of the box.
I really do need to check out thred up. I’ve heard so many great things about it!
This sounds awesome! I need to get some new clothes for fall. I’m going to check it out!
