Are you looking to make your life not so busy by shopping online instead of in store? Today I want to share with you one of my favorite online clothing store options, thredUP. If you love thredUP like I do then you know why it’s a great shopping experience, but if you’ve never tried thredUP or even heard of it until now, let me share with you 7 reasons you should shop thredUP.
1. It’s convenient.
Like all online stores you can shop for your thredUP purchases while in your super comfy pajamas on your extra comfy couch. You can shop day or night. You can shop while watching your favorite show or listening to a podcast. Yes, it’s convenient.
2. They sell like-new, gently used clothing.
I love the idea of passing along clothing that is still in good condition to other people. I do it in my own personal life, sharing items my children and I no longer need or want with friends or family. The same idea is played out on thredUP but on a much grander scale. Yes, buying new is always an option, but I prefer considering like-new, gently used first.
3. They sell thousands of brands for a variety prices.
With over 25,000 brands you are bound to always find something you love. I know that I have tended to mostly stick with the brands I love, but I also have been adventurous and tried brands that I have never even heard of before browsing thredUP. There is a wide range of prices because of the wide variety of brands, but I just tend to stick to prices $15 and under.
4. You can earn credit for future purchases.
If you share your thredUP referral link and someone purchases through that link you get $10 and so do they! Share with 5 people and if those 5 people make purchases you get $50, and they each get $10. It’s a win-win situation, and I almost always shop thredUP using earned credit.
5. You can find items for you and your children.
I love that thredUP has items for women (sizes XXS to 5X & maternity), juniors and for children. It’s so nice to be able to shop second hand for your kids as well as for your own wardrobe.
6. You can purchase shoes, handbags and accessories.
I love being able to purchase clothing second hand, and I also appreciate the option to buy like-new shoes, handbags and accessories. The variety of options in these categories is endless. ThredUP sells everything from boots to sandals, diaper bags to wallets, and sunglasses to watches.
7. You can clean out your closet with no hassle.
Not only can you purchase items from thredUP, you can also sell items on the site. (And thredUP does the hard work for you.) Simply order a free clean out kit, and thredUP will send you a large bag to fill with your gently used items. I have ordered 3 bags over the course of the past 3 years. You earn credit when your clothing sells. Check out their payout estimator to see just how much you might receive for any given item.
Shopping thredUP has been so practical and fun for so many reasons. Have I piqued your curiosity yet? Let’s take a look at my most recent order!

I’m a BIG fan of that sequined top!!!! I’m going to look at their site today. How long does shipping usually take?
I’m glad you like it!! Yes, take a look at the site! Endless options!! ThredUP is located in CA. I think it generally takes 5-7 days.
Wow! I have never heard of this before! I will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing, I am always nervous about trying places when I dont know anyone who has before. It is risky sometimes.
Hi, Stephanie! I think the $10 credit makes the first purchase a little easier. Spend within that range, pay for shipping and see what you think! 17 orders later and I am still a huge fan!!
I do keep meaning to look into this as it seems like a great idea! Thanks for the reminder to do it!
Hi, Twin Pickle, I have been a fan of thredUP from the start! I think you will love it!!
I absolutely love thred up!! I think I need to do some dress shopping there for dressember. Thanks for sharing and reminding me of this awesome company!

Hi Vicki! I’m a big fan. I think you will be, too!

Hi Rebekah, I’m a huge fan, and I think you will love it, too!!
This is a great idea! I love second hand clothes shopping!
Hi, Stephanie! Yes, second hand clothing shopping is the best, and it’s super fun when you can do it online!!
I’ve been wanting to check this place out! I love the dresses you got! The blue one is my favorite. I have shopped secondhand before, using Poshmark. I love these types of places, you find so many good things for less!
Hi, Susan! I’ve never heard of Poshmark; I will have to look into that. I think you will love thredUP!
I just ordered for the first time through them. I’m super excited
Hi, Jalisa! It’s always fun to open the polka dot box!!
This is such a great idea! So much better than sending our gently used clothes to a landfill.
Hi, Desiree, yes, it’s so good to choose the second hand option!
I’ve never tried Thred-Up, I’ve heard really great things about it though! I love the dresses that you got and those prices are awesome! I have a capsule/minimalist wardrobe, so it look like thread up might be the perfect place to find the few things I am looking for to complete my wardrobe, while still getting awesome prices!
Hi Rebekah, you can search for specific items and narrow down by brand, size, color, etc. It makes it easy to stay focused!
We’ve heard so many great things about ThreadUP. We are definitely going to have to give it a try!
You should give it a try, Magnolia Mamas! Don’t forget to use the link to get the $10!!
LOVE ThredUP!!!

I have thought about signing up for ThredUp so many times. This helps explain a lot about questions I had. Thanks!
I love the idea of this. I want to start shopping more second hand, so this is perfect especially since I can do it at home. A soon to be Mom of two under two means not a lot of shopping time.
I love ThredUp! I need to start shopping with them more often.

I recently bought my first item from ThredUp and I love it! It’s a skirt and it’s a little big, but for the price I paid and how much I love it I’m going to take it to a tailor and have it taken in.
Hi, Justine! If you love it and will wear it, taking it to a tailor is a smart move!
