As I not-so-patiently wait for spring weather to arrive (and then stay for more than a week at a time), I’ve been working on getting my spring wardrobe into shape. After leaving my corporate job, I don’t have to wear office attire anymore, so I’ve culled my closet quite a bit and kept only the things I really like to wear.
A close look at my favorite pieces reveals that most of the time I like to wear, in a word, basics. More specifically, loose, flowy tops in neutral colors, and fitted, stretchy jeans. It seems kind of boring, but there are tons of variations I can do with this general theme when I change up my jewelry, accessories, and shoes. (And boy, do I have a lot of shoes.)
The opportunity to work with thredUP for this post came up, and I decided not to fight my style preferences and go with high-quality pieces I knew I’d wear often. I love that at thredUP I can get excellent quality secondhand clothing for a song, and it’s even better than in-store consignment shopping because I can easily sort by brand, size, color, and price range! HEAVEN.
As you can see above, my “basic” thredUP picks arrived at my house adorably packaged in a polka dot box. Inside, everything was wrapped neatly in tissue and individually labeled with thredUP tags. So fun!
I chose two neutral tees, one gray and one black. The gray one is by the highly-coveted brand Vince. and is super, super soft with a casual vibe. The black one is by Cardigan and has mesh sleeves and a cut-out racerback design which I think can go either dressy or casual.
Gray tee, black tee // gray jeans, black jumpsuit
I also picked out a pair of gray jeans (by The Limited, a brand I already wear and love) as well as the wild card of this shopping spree – a black wide legged jumpsuit.
The thing I’m most excited about is this ridiculously cute jumpsuit. I’ve been wanting a jumpsuit or romper for the longest time but the practical gal in me has always pushed it to the back of the “to-buy” list. When I saw this one on thredUP, I had to go for it.
The jumpsuit speaks for itself so I just put on some platform espadrilles with it and called it a day. // Jumpsuit c/o thredUP // espadrilles via Payless (very old) // earrings are self-made
A drawstring waist and the fact that it’s black and won’t get stained by my post-competition tan make it the perfect outfit to wear when I get to grub on some real food after my upcoming competition. Yasssss kween. I also think it’d be great for a nighttime dinner date. Maybe some wine on a patio. Definitely something romantic.
For the next outfit, I’m wearing the gray The Limited jeans with the Cardigan black tee. I wore them with a metallic necklace and some super pointy mules for a rocker vibe.

And the final look features the Limited jeans again, but this time paired with the gray tee by Vince. With this funky two-toned scarf and some badass boots, this is the kind of look I’d wear to see live music at a bar.

My favorite is the jeans and top with the statement necklace! I have a love affair with Thred-Up. It’s so easy to return items – and I just love the quality of the clothes!
Jeanine says
I love the last look! That looks so stunning on you and probably would be the one I could convince myself to squeeze into (the other I totally couldn’t!) you look beautiful in both however! I bet nothing looks bad on you though!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
21% off is a great deal! And what you ordered looks great so I might have to order some clothes for myself. Thanks!
Amanda Love says
I’ve heard of thredup and visited them online but have never purchased anything. I’m so picky with my clothes because I like to touch and see what I’m getting unless it’s for a brand/company that I already know and love. With growing kids however who grow out of clothes quickly, this is a great way to get great clothing for less.
A Geek Daddy says
I like your jeans ensemble. The scarf looked sharp with that outfit.
Brandy M says
I need that outfit. You look so good in that. I need to check out this website and see what they’ve got for me.
Monica says
What an adorable outfit! I’ve heard good things about this company.
Jeanette says
I have heard of this company but I’ve actually never use them. You have such a cute outfit I’m really going to have to go check it out now.
