Okay, I try to keep things at least 5% gender neutral around here, but sometimes the girliness just has to show.  This is one of those times.

Not to be overdramatic, but I think I’ve found a website that will revolutionize the way I shop.  No kidding.

I’ve tried consignment stores before with mixed success.  The problem for me was sifting through all of those items to find the right size and style, etc.  I’m honestly just too lazy for that kind of shopping.

Enter ThredUp.com.  A friend recommended the site to another friend on Facebook, and I decided to give it a glance someday.  On that someday, I knew I was a goner.  You can sort by size and style and item type, or even by brand and color.  Lovely.

Maybe it’s not polite to talk about money, but forget polite for just a minute.  If anything should convince you to check out ThredUp.com, it’s money.  I got two nice shirts and a short-sleeved sweater for $35.  They look as good as new to me.  (I did also have a first-time purchase deal and free shipping and returns.  That’s pretty hard to beat.)  No matter how it happened, $35 for three nice items of clothing is nice.  There’s even some name-brand silk in that bundle.

This was about $19:

And this was $7:

And if you’re not into loud, printed, or ruffled shirts, they have lots and lots of other things in other styles.  I just happened to be in want of some loud, printed, ruffled shirts right now. I’m wearing the super loud tunic right now, and it feels like very glamorous scrubs (you know, the pajama-like clothes that nurses get to wear).  Which is exactly how I would want my clothes to feel.  I’m in love.

I also got a slightly less loud short-sleeved wrap sweater that I like a lot for $9:

It’s cuter in real life.  You’ll just have to trust me on that.

Thanks for my new clothes, ThredUp!  Thanks for my new clothes, Grandma!  Together, you make an unbeatable team.
