How I Saved $200 on Fall Fashion

Fall Fashion Savings

Fashion hasn’t always been my strong suit but I have always loved savings! When I found out about ThredUP, I was so excited to check it out. Plus, I found it just in time for fall! Fall is my favorite season for fashion. When I grew up in Southern California, my closet consisted of summer clothes and a few hoodies to wear over my summer clothes in the “colder” months. As a mom of three I am always on the lookout for good deals and how to save on clothes!

I need to save on clothes because when you have three boys – they grow out of their clothes SO fast. I feel like I am buying new shoes every three months! Recently, I made the decision to do a major overhaul on all my clothes. I cleared out my drawers and my closet – you can read about that here. I needed a few things to replace some of what I got rid of. Enter ThredUP. Enter amazing, like-new, discounted, fall clothes!

Here are my 4 tips on how to grab BIG fall fashion savings:

1. Search for the best deals
2. Find things that are going to last
   1. Better Brands=Better Quality
3. Use coupons/coupon codes
4. Buy what’s in season

And an even bigger tip for you is you can accomplish ALL FOUR of those with ThredUP! 

1. ThredUP has the best deals because all of their stuff is secondhand and like new – so there are AMAZING deals on even the most expensive brands.
2. Speaking of the better brands – ThredUP chooses their brands specifically so that you know you are getting quality items. When you buy quality – you know it will go a long way and it wont wear out too quickly!
3. Use these limited time coupon codes for even more savings :
   1. • 15% off for existing customers (only 150 redemptions are available here!): LNB15
      • $50 off $125 or more for first time customers: WQA50
      • $30 off $75 or more for first time customers: YHJ75
4. ThredUP always has what’s in season because they are upcycling items constantly! ThredUP upcycled over 14 million items by the end of 2015!

Now lets move on to my story! I shopped at ThredUP and I was able to get jeans, a top, two vests, a sweater, and a leather crossbody all for an amazing price! I actually saved $192.06 off of retail! Amazing, huh?! Some of my brands included:

• Tignanello
• American Eagle
• A.N.A
• Roomates
• Style&Co
• Basic Editions

My Pieces

I love that I can wear all of these pieces with something. They mix and match so well together (and those jeans are a perfect fit and exactly what I needed for fall!)

The black fringe vest is so soft and versatile and I think it pairs perfectly with my leather Tignanello bag! The black fringe A.N.A top sophisticates any outfit! It was so fun making my flannel a little fancy with this top underneath!

I have been really into vests lately! I love that it can add a little warmth to a short sleeve during fall or add a fun layer! This flannel vest is probably one of my favorite fall pieces right now!

Lastly, this red sweater is a perfect fall piece to add a layer too! I wish I could cozy up in this and drink coffee every day!
