Recently, I've also purchased for a second-hand e-shop. You heard right, second-hand... I know some people have apprehensions about these type of things, but ThredUp has really good, well cared for products. I really like what came through! Some of their clothing pieces are actually pretty cheap. Each piece that I purchased was around $11.
Topshop, $17.00 Young Hawaii, $3.50
Old Navy, $5.50 BCBGeneration, $28.50
Maurices, $7.00

Packaging:
I really, really liked the packaging. Aren't the green dots adorable? The structure was also very stiff and durable, meaning that the clothing inside are well protected!
Clothing quality:
The quality of the clothes are also super good! I wouldn't actually have thought that it was a second-hand item! That's how good they came to me~ From their site, they have a 12-point quality inspection. Not only do the pieces have to be in like-new condition, they also must have:
- no tears/rips
- no marks
- no fraying
- no odors
- no holes
- no pilling
- no missing parts
- no stains or spots
- no fading
- no peeling
- no hair
- no stretching
I'm really glad to see that they care so much about the quality of clothing they're offering to their users. Other vintage stores don't go through such a process. Sadly, some things come through and they weren't what I excepted... I'm sure ThredUp loses some really cool pieces because they have such high conditions, but I'm also really glad about that. I can be pretty confident that what I get is what I see on their site! These are what I purchased!
Old Navy, $8.00
Calvin Klein, $11.00
$10-of Referral opportunity:
Sorry guys, I know people really don't like it when bloggers or other people try to refer them to a site. I really have that pet peeve too, but I still do it. Sorry!!! Anyways, since I want to be open and transparent with you guys, I'll let you know both the benefits that you get, and the benefits that I get.
When I refer people, they get $10 to spend as they like. When that person spends the $10, I also get $10 added to my account to use as I like.
The good thing is that you can pretty much get a piece free and only have to pay shipping~
Once again, I'd like to apologize. I'm a pretty selfish and stingy person...haha. >___< Hope you don't mind. If you guys don't like these type of things, let me know! I'll stop! :)
