Trying Something New: ThredUp
I'm slowly losing weight, many of my old clothes are reaching the end of their lives. I need new clothes. Clothes cost money. Even when I wait for a flash sale, things are still pretty expensive. If I wait until an item goes on clearance, it is likely not going to be in my size. Another piece of the puzzle is the girls. They are growing, and they also need clothes. That means I need to stretch my budget even further. With the girls I have lucked out with sales at Kohls and my neighborhood garage sale sites. I haven't been as lucky with finding things for myself. As I focus more on my career, I need to step my my wardrobe and replace the things that no longer fit/are just worn out. One solution I have found is ThredUp. It is online consignment shopping, and so far it is working pretty well. The site allows you to set up your account with your size information, so it will bring up things in the sizes you want. You can set up a price range that you are comfortable in pay...
