Hey guys! Remember in one of my recent pregnancy update posts how I mentioned I was going to check out thredUP for some fun new maternity clothing that wouldn’t break the bank? Well, shortly after I ordered a big box of cute maternity stuff from thredUP, their team actually reached out to me about working together for a review! I didn’t hate the idea of getting to order another box of clothes so soon – especially because they had so much cute stuff. Sign me up! :)

If you haven’t heard of thredUP, it’s a large online thrift store that resells clothing from more than 35,000 brands for up to 90% off the original retail value. Thrift store prices without having to dig through huge piles of clothing? Yes, please.

I have been using thredUP for years now and love it because it’s so user friendly – you can search directly by size, brand, color, price, and/or style to easily find exactly what you’re looking for. I love using it to get my favorite more expensive brands (Banana Republic, JCrew, Lululemon, etc.) at much more affordable prices, and most recently it’s been perfect for maternity clothing too! While I want nice, stylish, and well-made maternity items that are flattering, I don’t necessarily want to pay full price for things I’m not going to wear for that long, you know?

Each item’s condition is noted right on the product page, which I also really like – if it’s not like-new or like-new with tags, it will be noted as gently worn, and they note specifically what sort of wear (e.g. light fading, or a tiny stain, or whatever). I love this because you know exactly what you’re getting. Everything I got this time, even a couple of the items that were noted as very slightly worn, arrived looking basically brand new.

When you place your order, all your items will arrive neatly folded and packaged in thredUP’s signature polka-dot box. They offer free shipping on qualified orders and easy returns, too.

I ordered 8 items (the majority of which was Liz Lange brand because I LOVE how their maternity clothing fits) in my most recent box and saved a whopping $246.08 total when compared to what I would have spent buying everything new. Awesome!
