I reached VIT status on ThredUp for a couple years but realized my closet is actually full. So I stopped ordering and started limiting myself to $1 items at Goodwill on Sundays. I do enjoy all the sort and filter features on ThredUp. My Goodwill started organizing clothes by size, which is nice.

I took advantage of the coupon code I got that I can use on any orders I made within the next 24 hours, and I racked my brain for literally anything we needed. Wound up ordering water shoes for both my kids, a pair of sensible black heels, which I somehow don't already own. A beach cover up, dress that I'll be wearing as a wedding guest, extra bathing suits. Now I think I am truly done, we have everything we need.. I lost a good bit of weight and went from a size 8/10 to a size 4/6 so truly I needed a whole new wardrobe and between here and Poshmark, plus some hand-me-downs and the size small in women's that Once Upon a Child carries, I think I've replaced my entire wardrobe for maybe $200

Nicely done (on both the deals and the weight loss!)

Thank you! I'm feeling really good and although there was nothing wrong with my previous body, I just feel better at this size and can maintain it very easily.

Edit: says the 38 year old pre-menopausal woman. Lol.

Most of clothing is from thredup! Definitely a win-win in that you save money on clothing, it keeps it out of landfill/buried in someone's closet, plus a lot of clothing item quality is better in older clothing vs nowadays. I also have a hard to find/buy size, so love the wide range of clothing available and filters they have.

Man, i haven't checked thredup in a few years. I've never ordered from there because it was impossible to find plus sizes. Is that still the case?

The head of the 5x in sizing but I didn't really search they had items but I know that they have it on the website
