my threadup experience.

j crew retro orange pencil skirt {threadupped}
merona button-down {thrifted/similar}   ·    lela rose for payless heels {similar}

i first heard about threadUP a few weeks ago from kimmie's blog (original post) and because i am naturally interested in just about anything, i clicked over and created an account and within minutes had two skirts in my shopping cart.  with the alluring $10 discount i was provided, it was a no-brainer to go through with the purchase and get two great quality skirts for less than $20.  

before my items shipped, i received an email stating one of my skirts did not meet their quality standards and i would be refunded.  shortly thereafter, i received a 99 cent refund in my paypal account.  i couldn't understand why i would only be refunded 99 cents, but i waited for my order to arrive to see if there was a flaw in one of the skirts they wanted to compensate me for.  when my shipment only contained one skirt and i still had only been refunded 99 cents (not the full price of the skirt, which was $7.49), i dug a little deeper and realized my account online had been credited the price of the skirt and the 99 cents must have been the shipping fee i was refunded.  i emailed their customer service to clarify and this was confirmed.

aside from that minor issue, i was pleased with the skirt that you see above that i did receive.  i love j crew pencil skirts (who doesn't?!) but they are a pretty penny not only in store/online at regular price but also on ebay, which is where i typically look for them.  plus, i'm cheap frugal and don't like going over my price point and ebay auctions for j crew skirts either start out too high or end up high anyway, so i never end up bidding.  it actually worked out really well for me, i think, to find this skirt at the price i did on threadUP and for that i'm really pleased!

will i shop at threadUP again?  well, yeah, because i have that skirt credit in my account that i don't want to go to waste... but i probably would browse there every once in a while anyway to see what they have in stock.  if you're interested in signing up for an account and want to go through my referral link, click here.
