Feeling a little bit different this year. I have a lot less holding me back. As an almost twenty-nine year old I feel like I am finally okay with growing up. That doesn’t mean I’m going to ditch my old ways of watching cartoons for fun or collecting things I think are cute but more that I’m starting to realize I want to be seen as more refined. I want to start wearing more of my heart on my sleeve and that’s where Thredup comes in. I’ve fallen in love with 70s fashion. Flared jeans and striped tees are the bees knees. I gravitate towards warm oranges, pinks and earthy tones. I’m a sucker for ringer necklines and high-waisted pants. I’m still learning about my body type and what looks best on my figure aside from those sorts of things.

I started revamping my old wardrobe recently and it feels so liberating. I started only buying clothing that sparks joy in me. Going into this new year I want purchase less new and buy more second-hand. ThredUP is where I like to browse for thrifty finds. Buying online is sort of tricky though especially when you still buy from the juniors section..(trust me I’m trying my best to find cute clothing in other departments.)

First impressions.

I made my first purchase from Thredup back in July of last year. It was easy to surf their site but I think my measurements were off when I made my order. As I said before Women’s sizing is difficult to understand when switching from juniors. I purchased a size two thinking it would be the best bet but it was still too large. Maybe I’ll grow into them eventually. That being said when I purchase again from them I will try their juniors department. I could have returned them and I probably should have but its too late now. Learn from my mistake.

All and all the package came neatly bound and arrived within the time-frame it said it would. The pants looked brand- new when I tried them on. The only beef I have with their site is that there is no Men’s section yet. My husband would love to shop there too. I hope its something they are considering in the future.

Work towards saving our planet.

Thredup is a wonderful way to help save and be sustainable. They have over 35,000 different brands to choose from. Not only do they sell amazing clothes for unbelievable prices but they sell shoes, bags and accessories. Whats not to love? I’m excited to buy more from them. If you’re interested in checking them out remember to check out their coupon codes to save even more! I hope to show off a haul or two this year when I finally get back into photography but until then I hope you have fun shopping second-hand <3
