May thredUP Thrift Haul

I teased in my last thrift haul post that April was unlucky for me but May would be better. It totally is! Only one item got sent back and I’m so excited about what I kept. (And the month isn’t even over yet!)

I think my bad luck with any online purchase really just comes down to the perils of online shopping in itself!

While I’m always very selective and carefully comb through the thredUP website, mistakes happen. You can’t always trust the sizing, or measurements, or feel the material in your hands. That’s when you end up with faulty purchases.

But the thrift gods were on my side in May and almost everything I bought was exactly what I was looking for.. and has already been worn a good handful of times – that’s saying a lot!

Check out what I bought below and how I styled it.

If you’re in the US and you’ve never used thredUP before, feel free to use my affiliate code to sign-up. I’ll get a $10 credit when you make your first purchase. (Which I’ll use to make more hauls like this with. haha) It’s a win-win!

Home Alone Graphic T-shirt

Christmas came early! I actually bought my sister a Home Alone sweatshirt on thredUP for Christmas and felt a twinge of jealousy as I handed it over.

But now I’ve got my own Wet Bandits tee to wear during the holidays.. or right now. 🙂

Pink Raincoat

I finally found a pink raincoat after a close call with one in my February thredUP thrift haul! I knew if I was patient that the right one would come along.

This has all the features that I like – a hood, zipper, and pockets. Plus it’s generously sized so I can slip a hoodie or thick sweater underneath without feeling stuffed.

Lime Green T-shirt

Was a lime green t-shirt on my thrifting wishlist? Not at all. But it popped up in one of my searches and the brightness appealed to me. How great does it look with this rainbow cardigan? I thrifted that earlier this year for under $5 at a consignment store. They’re a great match!

Yellow Raincoat

Two raincoats in one haul?! Spring weather is not gonna be able to handle all my cuteness!

I appreciate having a variety of colorful raincoats now to wear on dreary days. This one brightened up a recent doctor’s appointment I had. I love when my clothes can have a positive impact on others!

A thredUP Thrift Haul

If shopping on thredUP is wrong then I don’t want to be right!

I’m back this month with another thrift haul from thredUP. And if you don’t know, thredUP is the largest online consignment and thrift store. I’m a frequent shopper, as evidenced by my past blog posts, and have gotten into the habit of sharing what I buy from them every month.

Because everything is done online, I never know how things will actually look once I get them. So these hauls are my very real, honest thoughts about what I receive. The good, the bad, and the weird.

This month I kept about half of what I bought. Here’s a look! Let me know what you think!

Neon Hoodie

A yellow zip-up hoodie is on my thrifting wishlist and I swear it’s more elusive than Bigfoot! So this isn’t the first time I’ve tried to find one of thredUP (I have a Saved Search for one in the app) but I didn’t love what I got.

It’s super neon, almost lime green. I had a feeling that might happen. I could also nitpick the fit but because I sent it back, I won’t. ☺

Pink Skirt

I bought this skirt to replace an old one (it was polyester and I’m trying to phase that out of my closet) and I’m pretty happy with the purchase so far! It had new tags and the material is much more suited to every day. Plus, how great is this shade of pink with my skin tone?!

White Keds Sneakers

I have a pair of white sneakers from Maurices, where I work, that I have worn to death. I love them but wanted something with more structure to support my feet. (Oh geez.. is that what old people say?!)

These white Keds sneakers popped up in my price range and looked pretty good, aside from some light wear. They’re exactly what I was looking for! Plus you can’t top $25!!

Coral Pink Moto Jacket

I’m just gonna rip this off like a bandaid – this pink moto jacket got returned. 😥

It’s not the exact shade of pink that I want and the arms were comically short. (I do have long, lanky arms so I’m used to it.) I couldn’t tell if it was coral or bubblegum pink so I took a chance… and it was coral. Not the worst color on me, but it doesn’t match the color story I’m building in my closet so it wouldn’t get a lot of wear. I’m sure there’s someone out there who will love it more than me!

Red Beret

I’m ending on a good note – this red beret! It’s a keeper!!!

I’ve had one on my thrifting wishlist and just when I was ready to throw in the towel and buy a cheap one from Amazon, this popped up on thredUP. Thank you, thrift gods!!

It’s literally everything I’ve ever wanted in a red beret and I’m so excited to have it in my closet!

That’s it for another round-up of what I bought on thredUP this month. As a thredUP partner, you can expect these posts from me frequently. I also share short-form videos on my TikTok featuring the pieces!

Clothes I Bought From thredUP vs. What They Actually Look Like

[su_note note_color=”#FFFFFF” text_color=”#000000″ radius=”9″ class=””]

What I Bought From thredUP

Do you ever buy something online and it ends up looking different in person? It happens to me all the time! And as a secondhand shopper, it’s none more important to share the ups and downs of ordering a one-of-a-kind item only to find out it’s a dud.

I’m a thredUP partner so every month I get a little shopping credit. Even without the incentive, I’m a huge fan of the online consignment store and have bought and sold clothes on there for many years. Sometimes I really score and other times I’m disappointed.

I ordered 4 items this month and 3 got sent back. Let’s dive into what happened and get a little outfit inspiration!

[irp]

“The Cardigan”

If you follow me on TikTok, you might remember “The Cardigan” struggle I went through earlier in the month.

To summarize the debacle, I thought this cardigan was tan and bought it to replace a tan cardigan. It arrived and was actually pink but I didn’t need a pink cardigan because I have like 3. So do I keep it or not?!?!

Y’all jumped in the comments with so many creative ideas from upcycling it, to dying it, to holding on to it to see how I felt.

In the end, Goodwill of SCWI noticed something I had not – this “not tan” cardigan had POCKETS and my current pink cardigans did not! It was a no-brainer then to keep the new “not tan” cardigan. And I’ve already worn it quite a few times to lounge around in so I’d say it was a good call!

Pink Raincoat

I wanted to love this raincoat. It was PINK, with pockets, a hood, a long length, and a zipper.. literally all my coat requirements.

But the more times I tried it on to test out around my house, the more I didn’t like it. The fabric was incredibly thin which wouldn’t help if there was cold rain (which most are). But what sealed its fate was the strange arm bands on the biceps. They’re a really tight elastic and seemed.. unnecessary?!

My mom suggested snipping the elastic out but we were both certain that would alter the shape of the arm and leave a strange outline.

In the end, I decided to send it back and let someone with smaller arms enjoy it.

Pink Mini Dress

I’m sure by the headline “pink mini dress” you can already guess how I felt about this. I do NOT like mini clothes! But the measurement online made it seem appropriate so I gave it a go.

Aside from the short length, the wide silhouette didn’t seem very flattering on me. I felt like I was swimming in fabric!

But I will say the color is DIVINE and I think it works well on other people. My Instagram friend @staygoldengirl has it and looks adorable! Alas, it’s not for me.

Pink Trousers

Now for the most disappointing buy of all…

At a glance, these pants fit my requirements – the right rise, inseam, and color.

After they arrived and I was pulling them out of the package, I immediately noticed dark gray streaks all over the hems. I didn’t remember any damage being noted in the description so I checked it and sure enough, they were described as “good condition, like new.”

Apparently, somebody didn’t inspect them close enough because I zoomed in closer in the photos and noticed the stains were visible online. (I never zoom in because I take thredUP’s word that something is in good condition. I’ll know better next time.)

I’m not quite sure what the stain was. It kind of looked like an ink transfer. But I didn’t want to mess with it and make it any worse. (I recently shared all my thrifted laundry disasters on my IG Stories. Needless to say, I don’t like “project” clothes.)

I also wasn’t impressed with the fit of the pants so it was no skin off my back to return them.

///

I have another thredUP order already on the way and keeping my fingers crossed that I love everything. But what will be the odds of that?! lol

What I Bought From thredUP vs. How It Actually Looks

A thredUP Thrift Haul

I’m back with yet another thrift haul from thredUP! This type of post is kind of becoming my unofficial thrift haul that I used to present as videos every month. I hope that’s ok with you!

So to back up, thredUP is the largest online consignment and thrift store. I’m obsessed!

For transparency, I am an unpaid thredUP partner that receives a monthly shopping credit to use on their website. Regardless of that, I’m a huge fan of their online store and have used it for maaaany years.

I don’t actually shop on the site every month but I’m constantly browsing and adding pieces to my “favorites”. Click here to learn more about how the thredUP app works and tips for getting the best haul!

[irp]

But this month I made a big order and after trying everything on, I have some thoughts… 😏 Keep reading to see what I bought online and how it actually looked in person!

Pink Sweatpants

I’ve tried a couple of pairs of pink sweatpants from thredUP in the past and they just didn’t do it for me. I finally found these and they feel like we’ll get along well for long days of working at my computer as a social media manager.

I was pleasantly surprised that the measurements underestimated how roomy these actually are. For once I didn’t mind an item being described wrong! haha

Blue Tiered Sweatshirt Dress

I wasn’t sold on this blue dress when I saw it online, nor when I tried it on. But something just told me to buy it!

What drew me to it was the color (it’s my 2022 color, remember?!) and once I started styling it up stuff in my closet, I was hooked! It’s super soft and versatile. Those are winning traits in my book!

Oversized Cardigan

After finding my ultimate dream cardigan in my last haul, I was set on finding it in more colors. Unfortunately, what I thought was black (as described online) ended up being totally brown. Bummer!

Aside from the color that’s already in my closet, I wasn’t loving the cocoon shape on me.

[irp]

Green Crochet Crossbody Bag

How fab is the color of this bag?! I’ve been looking for a tote to take to my doctors’ appointments that would make me smile.

Unfortunately, this one is too small for all my stuff. But it was a final sale item so I can’t return it. It won’t be a total loss because I’m still into it as a fun summer bag for RL thrifting trips!

Sequin Dress

Can I hear a little commotion for the dress?

The photos online didn’t do the cap sleeves of this sequin dress justice. Unfortunately, it was inaccurately described and ended up shorter than the listed measurement. I can’t move around without it showing a little too much so I’ll have to send it back! 😭

Bucket Hat

I jumped on the bucket hat trend last summer with a baby blue one and knew I wanted to expand my collection for the upcoming summer.

This creamy Madewell one popped up and it actually fit my tiny head. Winning!

[irp]

Denim High Waisted Shorts

These denim shorts looked so adorable online! But they didn’t work out in real life.

The fit was tighter than I imagined and my thighs kept eating them up! 🤣

Patterned Dress

This was kind of a silly purchase with a long backstory. I’ll keep it brief and just let ya know that it’s too big and the polyester material drove me nuts. It’s getting returned!

Navy Blue Jumpsuit

This navy blue jumpsuit was another Madewell buy! I didn’t have the same luck as I did with the bucket hat.

The measurements online were very inaccurate and this ended up almost 5 inches shorter than I expected! That made a big difference in how the jumpsuit fit.

To be more specific (because I know someone in the comments will tell me it “looks” fine) it hit at a weird length above my ankles and the torso was actually ridiculously long; hanging to the middle of my thighs. I’m not sure the body type it was meant for but it’s definitely not for mine.

I reeeeally want a dark palazzo jumpsuit or overalls so I guess I’ll keep looking for my perfect pair!

Thrifting Wishlist

In true “thrift haul” fashion, I’d like to share a few things I’m currently on the secondhand hunt for! You can see the whole round-up on my thrifting wishlist Pinterest board.

• A red beret – I’m still working on expanding my beret collection. It’s been slow going for many years but maybe I’ll find a red one soon!

• Red blazer – It never hurts to have more red in your closet! Red is one of my power colors so combining that with a blazer would be amazing!

• Pink suit – Having a pink suit seems like an obvious choice for me. Especially since I’ve seen so many fashionistas rockin’ pick suits online!

///

This haul was hit and miss but I think had more wins than my last thredUP haul!

Like many of you, I can relate to the frustration of ordering things online only to find out they don’t work. A lot of time and money would be saved if I could just try these things on in person at a store. But that’s still a tricky situation so this option is better than nothing for when you need a fashion fix.

I hope you enjoyed this little haul! Thank you for checking it out. Let me know in the comments what your favorite item was and how you’d style it. I might just show the outcome in a future TikTok video!

Styling My Latest Thrift Finds

November Thrift Haul

I’ve been having fun making quick thrift hauls on TikTok but don’t want my blog to miss out on the outfit inspo!

The pieces I styled in this post are from a couple of different thrift stops I made in November. However, I’ve also been stalking items online and shared a thredUP thrift haul on my TikTok.

Styling My Thrift Finds

What I Thrifted

• Baby blue sweater vest (free) – I’ve seen sweater vests trending all season and came across this one at a community closet. It’s the exact shade of blue I’ve been crushing on lately so I thought I’d try my hand at making it work. What do you think? How else should I try styling it?

• Artsy button-up blouse (free) – This blouse was also found at the same community closet but on a different day. I was ‘drawn’ to the abstract print and unique shape… pun intended.

• White longline cardigan duster ($5) – I’ve had a long white cardi on my wishlist for a while and finally found this one! I wish you could all feel it through your screens because it’s made of a super soft blend. Plus it looks cute, right?!

Thrifting Wishlist

I haven’t added to my Pinterest thrifting wishlist in a while but my personal list that I keep on my phone just keeps growing! Here’s what I’m currently on the hunt for…

• White high-waisted denim gauchos – I think this is another purchase that I want to make after seeing so many girls on the gram make them look glam! Plus I’m still trying to get away from skinny jeans so this would be a great departure.

• Green pullover sweater – I have so many outfit ideas using a kelly green sweater. Wish me luck finding one!

• Athletic leggings – I started wearing leg compression garments earlier this year after getting diagnosed with POTS. They’re not always cute so members of a POTS support group that I’m in suggested workout leggings. I’m too cheap to pay full price so hopefully I can thrift some NWT!

Every Outfit In The Thrift Haul

Household Items I’ve Thrifted Recently

I wanted to make sure you got a look at the household/miscellaneous items I’ve thrifted so far this year. I just didn’t have it in me to film another video so I photographed everything for you to see!

Let me know if you have any specific questions or inquiries about how much I paid. Nothing in the photos was over $5!

Thrifting Wishlist

My thrifting wishlist is really getting whittled down but then new fashion trends come along that I start lusting over and the cycle begins all over again. Here are some current looks I’m hoping to score secondhand!

• Voluminous denim – Like most people, skinny jeans are feeling pretty boring at this point. I want some shape to my denim that can make my outfit a statement with very little work!

• White blouse – I’ve been keeping a keen eye out for a white blouse with unique details. I’m ready to step up my plain white t-shirt game!

• Bright green high waisted pants – I recently found the red palazzo pants of my dreams, so why not aim for every color of the rainbow? Green is next on my list to thrift!
