The Products: 12-25 secondhand styles picked specifically for you by one of ThredUP’s “Treasure Hunters” based on a quick profile, such as price range, sizes, preferred brands, and style preferences. You only pay for what you keep, and the $10.00 deposit will be applied towards any purchases you make. The Cost: ThredUP is running a special right now, where it’s only a $10.00 non-refundable deposit to order the box. As I’ll explain in The Verdict at the bottom, the Goody Box isn’t a styling service per se, more of a process of discovery.

The purple Moda Design shirt was a nice addition to my spring/fall wardrobe. I love cashmere, the sweater was in perfect shape and it was one of my favorite colors. The Charter Club blue cashmere sweater was a no brainer. I wore them in a recent Farm Fashion Friday post. They will be an important part of my wardrobe going forward. I never in a million years would have ever looked at or considered purchasing brown pants but I am now so happy I have them They fit beautifully and are boot cut.

Others were definite contenders but because of fit issues (the North Face pants. I ended up keeping four items from the box. Minor issues but now I am prepared for the next time I get a box. I learned a few things about the information I gave my curator I forgot to mention that I do not like hoods on sweaters and that I prefer natural fabrics. What Did I Keep from My ThredUp Goody Box?Īs you can see from the video there was a broad variety of items in the box. If you have any questions about any of the pieces just let me know HERE and I’ll answer them for you.
