update your summer work wardrobe without blowing your bank account

And now a word from a sponsor…

If you want to refresh your work wardrobe for summer without blowing your bank account, thredUPis a great place to do it.

thredUP is the largest online consignment and thrift store where you can shop high-quality items at up to 90% off estimated retail. You can shop on-trend, like-new fashion from top name brands and designers for up to 90% off. 90% off is such an enormous discount that this isn’t just about being able to buy one more shirt than usual; you could assemble a whole new wardrobe for pennies on the dollar if you wanted to.

They carry over 35,000 brands like Anthropologie, J. Crew, Ann Taylor, DKNY, Theory, Eileen Fisher, and more, and add thousands of new items added everyday. They let you filter by size, color, price, and style to easily find what you’re looking for. You can save your sizes and then search by your favorite brands, and you can “favorite” an item by hearting it so you can come back to everything you like later. I love being able to shop from the comfort of my couch, but still get access to the insane deals of thrifting.

When I first started shopping with thredUP, I was a little skeptical about consignment shopping where I couldn’t see the quality in person, but the quality of items I’ve gotten there has been surprisingly and consistently good. thredUP triple-inspects each item by hand to ensure all clothes are like new, and sometimes you even find items so new that the tags are still on them. But if you’re ever unhappy with an item, they also offer easy returns.

To give you a sense of how big these discounts are, in my most recent order I spent a total of $188.91 and got a huge number of things: three dresses — from Cynthia Rowley, Splendid, and Parker – Rag & Bones cords, Vince khakis, two BCBG tops, an Express top, and a J. Crew necklace. I saved a total of $893.09 off estimated retail prices.

If you’re ready to do some serious summer shopping, thredUPis offering Ask A Manager readers a special discount: You can get an extra 30% off your first order at thredUP with my promo code: MANAGER30 (This applies to new U.S. and Canadian customers only and items under $150.) That’s on top of their already discounted prices, so hurry and take advantage before it expires on May 30!
