Introducing: thredUP!

Several years ago, I'd sell our out-grown clothes online, but it was always such a whip to photograph each item, upload the image, write a description, and field emails and questions. Not to mention pack it up once sold, and ship to all the different people! Every now and then, I still try to shop gently-worn items online, too, but it's hard to trust that the seller is being completely honest about the condition of the piece. Hauling bags to the consignment store and sifting through racks isn't much fun, either.

Well, the geniuses at thredUP, based in San Francisco, have solved all those issues, and simplified the buying and selling process for us! thredUP is the easiest way to save money on great name-brand Women's and Kids' clothing, and sell clothes for cash. They are like a consignment store, but simpler...and from the comfort of your laptop!

{HOW IT WORKS}  

Browse thousands of like-new, brand-name clothing items, which they've hand-selected and certified for quality. You'll find all your favorite brands discounted up to 90% off, year-round. They are so picky about what's listed, that they reject over 50% of the items submitted for sale. Each item clearly shows multiple images, brand name, retail price, and description. They also give you an honest and accurate condition of the item, so no more worrying about sellers exaggerating the condition.

I rounded-up some of my favorite items to show you....things sell quickly, but these were all available as of yesterday....except for one or two, which I might have already scooped up.

1 | Calvin Klein Cocktail Dress $38

2 | BCBG Max Azria Silk Top $23

3 | J.Crew Skirt $12

4 | 7 for all Mankind Jeans $38

5 | Calvin Klein Dress $27

6 | Ralph Lauren Silk Top $30

7 | J.Crew Silk Dress $50

Yep, they really sell those brands at those prices! I hate paying retail for higher-end Kids stuff because they outgrow it so quickly, so I was thrilled to find a huge assortment of Girls and Boys items. I spy the perfect Easter outfits!

1 | Janie & Jack Dress $18

2 | Jason Wu for Neiman Marcus $15

I'm really excited for the launch of thredUP X, which will feature all premium brands at a fraction of their original cost!

Now how about all those unworn pieces in your closet? Simply go on the thredUP site, and request a free Clean Out Bag...fill it up and put it on your doorstep. thredUP covers the cost of shipping, lists your items, and pays you for everything they can sell to other families. You can choose to have any unsold items shipped back to you, or they'll donate to a charity on your behalf. How simple is that?! Talk about easy money!

I've already got a bag on the way to me, and the closet purge has begun! It feels so good to start fresh, and have someone do all the work for me! What do you think about this new site?!
