I was going to make this a meme, but image uploads are broken.

So after spending way too much money and buying All The Things on Amazon, I’ve noticed a pattern.

  1. Browse clothes
  2. “Oooh, that’s pretty!”
  3. Check size
  4. Shucks, too small
  5. Buy it anyway

    As someone who shops at both, Torrid is a godsend for shoes. They have sales and clearance pretty often with a great selection. Also having the shoes come in wide by default is very helpful.

    As for ThredUp it’s a great way to get good clothes for cheap. It’s basically online thrifting. I’ve gotten some really high end dresses there for cheap. I’ve only had a couple issues, mainly with an order going missing (which sucks because it was the first time I’ve splurged on designer jeans) and issues with store credit being issued through a third party gift card service which was kind of weird. While the selection is good sometimes the styles can be a bit “dated” so definitely don’t use it to chase style trends.

    Over all though both are pretty great and have a good selection!

      I agree about the styles on ThredUp, I had a hard time finding stuff I loved in my size. I need to go back to it, but I have some cognitive dissonance about shopping, so when I finally feel like doing it, I’m usually overdo and I end up shopping places like pact and Torrid.

      You’re right about the shoes, btw - I don’t really know anywhere else to get shoes 😅
