August 2016 Thrift Haul: Thredup

I never condone shopping when bored, but I broke my rule a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did!

So there was this handbag...

Great way to start a story, huh? Anyways, a few months back I was browsing online at designer handbags. If you know me personally, then you are well aware that I have yet to make such a large purchase on an accessory. The few I do own are either gifts from loved ones or hand-me-downs. 

But it just so happened that this one particular collection at Kate Spade caught my eye. QUILTED DENIM! It took every ounce of will power not to swipe out my credit card. Go in debt over a purse? "You're smarter than that girl!" I told myself repeatedly. After about 45 minutes, the rush to buy subsided and I exited out of the website.

I spent the next few months checking the website hoping anything from the collection would go on sale or better yet clearance. That never happened and one day the collection was gone. It did sting a bit but I knew I would get over it.

Fast forward to last month when I was up late one night browsing online. I deciced to check out ThredUp since it has been months since I'd placed an order. I've always been able to do well when it comes to shoes and tops from the on-line retailer so why not wander over into a new realm?

I clicked "Handbags" and there it was. First page fourth row. The price was down to $90.99 down from the original price of $248.00! But wait! A 40 percent off coupon?! Now it's only $54.59. I never paid for something so quick in my life.

THANK YOU THREDUP!
