A Personal Shopper (For Other People’s Closets)
you have to check out. It’s called thredUP.
The premise is super simple gals! Just exchange stylish clothes you’re no longer wearing for “new-to-you” stylish clothes in return. You get to pick the brands, sizes, colors of the types of things you want in return and all you do is send away items you no longer wear. How cool is that? Now it’s easier than ever to get cool clothes on your college girl budget!
The best part is that it’s cheap and it’s all done through pre-paid mail (a la Netflix). thredUP is still in private testing, but I’ve heard from their founder and they’re planning a public beta launch for Mens and Womens clothing in early August (kids very soon after). You can sign up to be part of the launch – and try the service for free – but you have to be one of the first 1,000 to sign-up so don’t waste anytime. (less than 300 freebies are left for the trial, so you better hurry!!!)
Check it out at www.thredup.com and let me know what you think.
