Honest Review of ThredUp


Selling Clothes:

The instructions that came in the kit and that were provided on the website were easy to follow. As someone who was concerned with how ThredUp would dispose of the clothes that they did not consider to be profitable, I was reassured that the items are passed onto third party sellers or their textile recycling partners. When then repurpose the items into new useful products. My only complaint when it comes to the selling of clothes is that I did not received as much of a store credit as I expected. For the overall concept of the company I will continue to be a costumer mainly for the fact that as an Environmental Studies student I am a supporter of their message of encouraging second-hand use. 

Buying Clothes:

When it comes to the functionality of the app and website I find it to be very customizable to the type of products I am looking for. There are clear and accurate descriptions of the products: size, fabric type, color, condition, brand, etc. The quality of the pictures on the products are a great representation of the item. The fact that they photograph a majority of the items on a manikin is a feature that I find to be very useful. I have had a few busts when it comes to clothing items that I have purchased from ThredUp. This is not due to the fact that the item was not accurate to the provided description, it was because I am particular when it comes to the fit and texture of my clothes. An aspect of the ThredUp that could use improvement is an increase in products in the Juniors section. I know this will just take time in part because the website receives most of its products in the Women's section. 

Overall:

Even with the few complaints that I have when it comes to ThredUp they are not enough to deter me from continuing to sell and purchase from them. I would encourage anyone to give the company a try whether that means selling clothes or buying clothes.

2022 Update: ThredUp published their 2021 Resale Report, I recommend giving it a read. It has lots of informative statistics and graphics about fashion and secondhand shopping.

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule After my first semester of college I have developed a cleaning routine that I have been able to keep up with. You can read my previous blog post about What I Learned In My First Semester of College . Over the past few months I have experimented and I am confident in the routine that I have created.  Personalize When it comes to personalizing the schedule you could add or take out the different chores. For example I also wash my retainers weekly and monthly my roommate and I decorate the marker board on the outside of our door. We also only clean our mirrors when needed since we have found that they do not seem to become too dirty regularly. Something that I would make sure you sanitize every week would be the surfaces that you are constantly touching. That means light switches, door handles, and your desk. By doing this I managed to avoid getting sick when my roommate and other floor mates go sick. Another task that you could add ...

Bullet Journal Fitness and Workout Spread Ideas

If you want to purchase some of these spreads you can buy the digital bundle from my Etsy shop: Simply Paperless .  I had created six different bullet journal fitness and workout trackers/spreads. These spreads were made in my digital bullet journal using the GoodNotes App.   I highly recommend to use a stylus when using GoodNotes as a digital bullet journal. For this project I used the Adonit Dash 3 Stylus , which I highly recommend. I also recommend the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon.

Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton Book Review

Reasons For Reading This Memoir: Every month I read the chosen book for  The Readheads podcast book club . The book chosen for September was Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton . I was excited to read this book because I was seeing it being read and reviewed by other book bloggers who I follow. Every review I saw was raving. As someone who is in a transitional phase in their life I was open to taking and learning from Dolly Alderton's life experiences. Content of the Memoir: Dolly recounts her experiences and lessons learned from university, drinking, dating, being dumped, friendship, getting a job, and accepting herself for who she is. Sprinkled throughout the memoir is recipes, lists, and emails full of satire. Everything I Know About Love is about finding yourself, love, friendship, and the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult.  What I Liked About the Memoir: Some memoirs are dense and require lots of focus when reading. Everything I Know About Love is lights...
