Literally the first thing that came to mind for me lol

I mean to be fair, new in the US would run you about $30k 😅

vintage stella mccartney dress for $20 selling for $75-$130 on other sites. it’s missing its belt but i honestly think it looks better without it, i’m probably going to use a seam ripper on the belt loops and steam the suture holes to make them nearly invisible. i don’t think i’ve ever been drawn to a piece the way i’m drawn towards this so i thought i’d share!

This is why I’m addicted to secondhand shopping because HOW do these random royal-adjacent finds even end up on ThredUp 😭

These are items I personally don't want, but would love for someone to have. I feel kind of bad for the sellers though because they're really not getting anything near what they paid if they paid retail.

I've spent way too much money on this website and I've drastically decreased as of late. I won't lie, getting one of these boxes in the mail is just a giant explosion of dopamine for me. Now I'm saving for a new bathroom :)

Feel free to give my style a name or guess my age or something, idk.

$800 worth of clothes for $46.. thank you ThredUp gods

The shoes are cute, but not double-retail value cute.

After days, this is the next reply I received about my lost box. This was probably my biggest cleanout kit yet and had probably 40 items and actual good brands/styles.

I cannot express how pissed off I am about this because it arrived at the warehouse and disappeared apparently.
This is awful.

I just received an order of six or seven pair of jeans. Every single pair of bootcut jeans has been listed incorrectly (and comprised the bulk of my order). 🤬 The most egregious issue is with a pair of WHBM beaded jeans. The images in the listing left out the STAMPED notation on the interior waistband that’s literally right next to the WHBM stamp that *clearly* shows they’re a LONG. No where in the listing is that stated, and the listed inseam of 31.5 inches is an inseam I’ve always purchased to wear with heels. These have to be a 34+ inches inseam (I haven’t measured them yet, but damn, they’re l-o-n-g!) The listing didn’t include pics of the mannequin’s measurements or the marked up image illustrating the waist and inseam measurements that are usually included in a listing, so I purchased based on the listing info (highlighted) that TU provided. The other bootcut jeans appear to all be standard length (i.e., not short, not long) according to the info on the jean’s tags themselves, and also have similar inseam length designations (from 29.75 to 31.25 inches) in their respective listing info, and they’re all far too long, too.

How are 70% of these measurements (based on just my order of these jeans) so off? Has something changed in the denim industry that’s altered the way we measure inseam and length? Or is TU doing something specific as far as measuring goes that I should be aware of? According to the listing info, these should all fit, but nope.

I’m going to have to have these altered or return them (and some of them are so unique, I really don’t want to return them), but I definitely need to figure this out before I buy anymore jeans or pants!

(FWIW, I’m only blaming TU for the error-by-omission on the WHBM jeans. That listing absolutely should have included that they were a long and I never would have purchased them. The others, I’m not so sure about. Some of the jeans I ordered are perfectly fine and don’t need to be altered, but the others, despite being in an inseam range that I’d typically order if purchasing NWT from a retailer, are still waaaaay too long. So maybe it’s TU, or maybe it’s me?)

Insight appreciated to help me avoid this. I live in a very rural area and have to commute an hour each way to get to a tailor who specializes in jeans alterations, so I’d love to avoid this in the future!

Y’all might think I’m an older lady on here but I just RL Countryside attire. Shopping for all seasons here. I put together a style board for a lady on here so if you’re needed some personal styling for an event and or just everyday life, I’ll do it for fun to stop shopping for myself. 😂
