Review: ThredUP

ThredUP offers Like- New clothes from brands you love. It's like a fancy consignment store- online !

One part of their website offers a "clean out"- where you request a shopping bag, it's delivered to your door, you package up the clothes you no longer want, send them to ThredUP (with free shipping!), and they look through them. The items in like- new condition are accepted for consignment, the rest can either be donated on your behalf (I chose this option), or you can pay to have them shipped back to you.

HALF-ZIP SWEAT

The zipper pulls down the perfect amount for easy breastfeeding in this comfy sweatshirt. The sleeves are long and cozy, and the colors are fun and easy to pair with jeans or yoga pants.

HATHA JACKET

This jacket is super soft and so cozy. I love the large collar, the asymetrical zipper and the cool colors. The collar also rolls up to a turtleneck for those cooler days!

REVIEW: STITCHFIX #5

Cozy and soft were my first impressions of this STITCHFIX.

Review: StitchFix #4

I will be totally honest and admit this wasn't my best Fix. There were some good pieces in there but they just didn't work quite right for me. I received a nice email apologizing that this wasn't my best fix and urging me to update my Pinterest page. So I have been happily Pinning away!

Review: Mama's MilkBox #2

My second Mama's MilkBox just arrived and I couldn't wait to try this stuff on! It is packed full of awesome brands- boob, milk, and Loyal Hana. My only complaint with this box is that I wish I could keep everything, I want it all!

Review: Mama's MilkBox

My Mama's MilkBox arrived last Saturday and I had so much fun trying on all the comfortable, practical clothes!

The box arrived to my house last Saturday and opening it was like a burst of color. Such a nice experience to have a little box full of happiness delivered right to my door, instead of digging through racks of clothes or doing endless internet searches.

StitchFix Shipment #2

StitchFix is an online personal shopping service that selects clothes and accessories for for you and mails them to you!

My second shipment had some fun stuff and I ended up keeping a pair of awesome pants!

Mama's Milk Box (Review Coming Soon!)

I stumbled upon this awesome website via Instagram and I was so excited to talk to Elena, the owner of Mama's MilkBox- the clothing delivery service for Nursing moms! What a great idea!

I filled out the survey and my MilkBox is being shipped in the next day or two. I am really looking forward to sharing all the wonderful fun, colorful, functional nursing clothing options with you all.

StitchFix Shipment #3

This was my favorite Fix so far! I asked for something I could wear for Easter, and that was breastfeeding friendly. They gave me a perfect dress! I also kept a nice set of gold stud earrings. There was a really soft nice scarf (but I have one very similar already), and a gorgeous lace blue top that just didn't quite fit right.

It was such a relief to have an Easter dress without hours of shopping...

StitchFix Shipment #1

I signed up for StitchFix after hearing several friends recommend based on word of mouth. I filled out the questionnaire and then anxiously awaited my first shipment. 

Shortly after, this box arrived-

I am not a fan of dolman sleeves, or sleeveless tops (especially when it's 8 degrees here), so I kind of mentally returned those immediately. The jeans were super soft and comfy, but quite low waisted and just a tad bit tight on the tummy (doesn't help that I've put on like 5 pounds since thanksgiving). The dress was cool but, again, tight on the stomach so I ended up returning all those. I kept the Henley top - my new staple style. I haven't worn it yet but that's because it's been crazy cold and 3/4 sleeves aren't enough for me on these 30 and below days, but I love the fit, it's soft and flows and I know I'll wear it out this spring and summer! Can't wait for my next shipment!

Try it for yourself:

Simply fill out your style profile, and a personal stylist will handpick five items just for you.

UPDATE: I've been loving my Pixley Henley Top!

Stay fabulous my friends!
