The Best $25 I’ve Spent all Year is this One Dress!

Wedding are insanely expensive. Like even if you got married five years ago, I would bet that prices have skyrocketed since then. It is insane. So I’ve been in budgeting overload which has meant an extremely hard look at what I am buying. Again. The first thing to go? Even LESS money towards clothes while I save for the most important item of clothing ever, my wedding dress! $2,500 in real life goes a long way but somehow for a wedding that’s like, a quarter of a sleeve.

Anyway, realistically I know I still want some new items in my closet. However, I really, really can’t afford to just drop money on some items I’ve been purchasing pre-engagement. Ahem. Ahem.  Me @ me.

Enter the incredibly timed Gordmans x ThredUP pop-up shop! You guys know I love finding my designer shoes at high end consignment shops and so it felt like something I genuinely would care about. I walked in and immediately found J.Crew, Anthropologie and French Connection all my size and under $25! Even better? I got a pair of tags-on, brand new Lululemon crops that were 100% purchased because I am trying to workout more because of said wedding dress.

So you’ll see more of these items on the blog soon, but I wanted to remind you that life circumstances change. One day you have a lot of disposable income and the next week you are thrifting and that is FINE! I genuinely love this J. Crew dress I am wearing and get a ton of compliments on it. (No pockets on it though, that’s the one thing that would make it even better!)

I also love that because of the blog I’ve been able to visually see what are the pieces that I know look great but also make me feel good! That helped me base two of my decisions from the pop-up alone. I honestly don’t think I could really have a strong vision of what makes me feel like ME if it weren’t for this blog!

Gordmans x ThredUP Information

You can look up your local location here! Mine was at the Gordmans on west Central and located right in the juniors department with it’s own display. I was very surprised at the amount of items across all sizes, including some plus!

P.S. If you think I just wore this once, you are wrong! I posted it to Facebook because it has been the best! I’ve worn it with tights, a blazer, by itself and it’s the workhorse I needed in my close!
