I've always been one that's excited to find a bargain, whether I'm hunting down the coolest styles on the racks at a local thrift store or scouring the web for a new trendy piece of clothing. So when I heard about ThredUp and the awesome deals they offer on designer items, I was just a little excited... and by just a little, I mean like incredibly, super excited!


Instead of just adding a few items to my cart as I perused the app, I added nearly everything I saw. With featured picks and a variety of galleries, I spent hours adding oodles of items into my cart, if you've ever used the app - you know what I mean.

After I decided I only really need to buy a handful of items, it was time to check out. Instead of paying a jillion dollars for my new designer duds, I ended up paying nearly nothing! While the items in my cart totaled to $93.96, their actual worth was $370 if I had went in stores and made these purchases, and get this - with this coupon (LNB15) I saved enough to make my purchase for only $56! Enough about the money, let's get to the real important stuff - the fashion tips and my new additions to my wardrobe!

1. This fall, keep things deep and dark with pops of color. Blacks, browns, and deep shades of navy are what you'll find me in this fall... but only with pops of color or other deep colors added into the mix! Take this adorable black blouse from Ted Baker for example. Paired with a black pair of leggings and a super fun pair of shoes, this is the perfect look this fall! Add a flowy cardigan for a warmer addition to the look and you're set!




2. The next item is also part of the deep color scheme, but it's addressing a different tip - don't be intimidated by any style! While fitted styles after having a baby sound like they may not look amazing, I have to brag about this gorgeous navy lace skirt from Ambiance Apparel. It's the cutest new addition to my closet, paired with a comfy blazer or a chambray shirt and a pair of boots - this is a piece I'll be rocking all through out the chillier weather! For now, I love this look with heels...





3. Speaking of boots, my next tip is to not follow just one "style trend", take the time to find your own way in the fashion world - like this outfit for example: This casual dress from Express has an intricate detail and would typically be paired with a fancy pair of heels to compliment the elegance, I made it my own by adding a pair of riding boots and I love the way it looks! It's the perfect mixture of bohemian and classic, two of my favorites, with my own little twist.




4. While having your own style is great, the tip above leads me to this tip - stay true to the classics if nothing else works. Like this black blouse, it's a great classic piece that will remain timeless and is a great asset to any closet.

5. My final tip is never pay full price, for any item in your closet! We all love designer items, but you can find amazing deals on ThredUp for all the same items at prices that are unheard of!
