A Blissful Saturday and the Perfect Red Dress





Have you guys heard of thred UP? I found this red Diane Von Furstenberg beauty for 1/3-1/4 of the listed price… along with a few other pieces. The site is essentially a well curated online thrift store (which is perfect for my morning sickness because I can thrift from the comfort of my couch without having to get dressed).My favorite feature was that you can create personalized ‘stores’ by searching for specific sizes, colors, styles, and brands. I picked up a new eyelet blouse from J.Crew that was new with tags for at least 50% off the listed price.
A bit more about how thredUP works (and why I feel more comfortable shopping there than other places online for used clothes): Anyone who wants to sell clothes on Thread-Up sends their items in to headquarters where they are sorted. Thread-Up decides if its something they want to carry and if so, they’ll pay you a specific amount for each item and then list the item online (with some kind of mark up). I love that the clothes have been sorted through and approved by employees vested in the company because I can trust that they’re in good condition (everything I got was new or like new – and everything is always up to 90% off retail..another win).

Here are a few of my favorites on the site right now:
- almost everything in the X Collection
- this Kate Spade skirt (if only it were my size!)
- this white J.Crew jacket (perfect for summer)
