Having my Cake & Eating it, Too!

If you’re like me when you’re shopping, then I can bet that you’ve have had that moment where you see something and have a train of thoughts that goes something like this: “omg that is SO cute…I NEED it…I wonder where it’s from? hmm…OH!, it’s from J. Crew…perfect, let’s see…*searches for item online*…wait it’s SERIOUSLY that much?!? I can’t afford that! I guess I don’t need it that bad…” I hate to admit that it happens about 98% of the time I find something I need from J. Crew; so, I sadly have to wait a couple more years until J. Crew is a heavy staple in my closet and I don’t need to decide between a new puffer vest or groceries for the month.

Until then, I have found a more viable option to hold me over until I can peruse the “just in” items in the beautiful front windows of this widely coveted store. If you’ve been reading the blog the past couple days, then this isn’t the first time you’ve heard me obsess over thredUP. Sorry I’m not sorry, this website is literally amaze. I found this J. Crew skirt, in PERFECT condition, for $14.99!!!!!! That’s cheaper than some things at Forever 21! It is a perfect fit, and I don’t feel like I made any sacrifices or broke any banks by “splurging” on this one. thredUP is truly the definition of having your cake, and eating it, too!
