Ever since adopting the capsule wardrobe, I've tried to make a conscious effort to shop more intentionally. The more I read about fast fashion, the more inspired I've been to shop slow, support ethical brands, and seek out secondhand options whenever possible.I've been a big fan of ThredUP for a while now-which is, essentially, a gigantic online thrift store. My friend Lauren and I went thrifting in Orange County last month and I forgot how much I love the process of looking for gems amid a sea of clothing others have given up on.I ordered a sweater last week, and found a few others I liked while digging around. I know for some people, scouring through secondhand stores or searching online consignment shops can feel like an impossible treasure hunt, but for me, the hunting is the fun part.Quick reminder: there is usually only one of each item on ThredUP. Every once in a blue moon, you can find two or three of the same sweater or the same dress, etc, but generally speaking-these items go fast. My favorite way to shop is by size, brand, and color. I filter by size, select a handful of my favorite brands (almost every Free People item in my closet was bought this way), and then select my typical color palette (grey, white, black, cream, blush, blue/chambray). If I'm working with a certain budget, or know I don't want to spend more than $30 on a sweater, I toggle the price option as well. You can also select the condition of the items and I usually keep mine at new with tags and like-new. Every item I've ever ordered from ThredUP has arrived in excellent condition-they inspect their clothes really carefully, which is great because you can't always say the same for thrift stores.Anyway! Here are a few cute sweaters I found if you happen to be in the market:L, $34.99 S, $21.99 Xs/S, $48.99 XS, $21.99 XS, $21.99 M, $16.99 M, $13.99 L, $28.99 M, $18.99 M, $29.99 OS, $29.99 M, $30.99 L, $43.99 XS, $17.99 XS, $21.99At this time of publishing this, they're all still available!
