Wardrobe Building

FASHION· GIVEAWAY

Congrats to Janice! The winner of the $250 thredUP Giveaway!  You should have an email in your inbox right now!

Disclaimer – This is a post sponsored by thredUP.  All opinions are 100% my own.

My mom wardrobe is CONSTANTLY in flux.  Constantly.  Things getting stained.  Things getting torn.  Things getting shrunk (or maybe it’s me growing! ha!).  And admittedly….I like having new things to wear.  And I love getting a deal.  Don’t we all?  So I am back to share one of my favorite sources to building my wardrobe – it’s a site called thredUP.  If you remember, I have talked about this clothing site before and you guys LOVED it.  And this time, we have a very special giveaway for you just in time of the holidays.  GET PUMPED!

ThredUp - Bower Power

So for those of you who don’t know….thredUP is an online consignment shop that has high quality clothing and accessories for women and kids.  And when I say high quality name brand clothing, I mean like EVERYTHING is name brand – J.Crew, Boden, Gap, Anthropologie, and more always up to 90% off!  And a lot of the items are BRAND SPANKING NEW.  New with tags new.  New with the stickers still on it new.  New with brand new price tags because remember…this is not from the store with their overhead costs and their fancy price tags.

So I head back to their site every few weeks to see if anything catches my eye and this time I felt like I hit the mother load.  SO MUCH GOODIES.

ThredUp - Bower Power

I always try to get the boys at least one item each because it makes them so happy!

ThredUp - Bower Power

This time around, the box of clothing came exactly as it normally does but with a Christmas theme!  You know me….nothing makes me happier than Christmas themed everything!  Right now they offer the cutest packaging that doubles as reusable tissue paper, christmas tags and stickers!

ThredUp - Bower Power

I got this super cute dress….I’m totally saving it for a warm day!  It is from Boden and it’s normally $78 and I got it for $29!  Over half off!

ThredUp - Bower Power

And then I started handing out the boys stuff and apparently there was a miscommunication.  Weston, I mean Iron Man, thought that ALL the clothing was for him….so we had to explain that we can ALWAYS get him some more (especially at these prices) and that we should be happy for everyone 🙂

ThredUp - Bower Power

He did perk up when I started showing him the new items like these new Gap jeans!  Retail price on these is $30….but we paid $18.99 and they are brand new with tags!

The real turning point was the dinosaur shirt.  It was his favorite color too.  He loved it so much he whipped out this pose…

LJ got a brand new sweater that looks great with his blue eyes….

All my boys are into trying on their new clothes and doing a pose-parade.  That’s what we call it.  They stand in front of the door and I take their photos in their best poses 🙂  It’s the highlight of any shopping excursion.  At least for them.  There is a lot of whistling involved and some oohs and ahhs!  The highlight for me is the fact that this is brand new from Baby Gap and normally $35 but I only paid $13 🙂

And Will is REALLY into fluorescent colors right now and brand name athletic gear so I won the Mom of the Year award with this nike outfit 🙂

ThredUp - Bower Power

Heisman winner 🙂  (gotta brag – the pants & shirt together both Nike – total retail – $64 – paid $24)  That makes me want to spike something and start doing the stinky leg.

Maxi Knight got a new pair of pants and a $4.99 Baby Boden shirt!

Pose Parade!

Their cute little faces are too much 🙂  But a close second in cuteness is this round up of items that I found for myself that are SO flattering and nice.  I decided I wanted to create a capsule wardrobe of sorts with these items to show you how a little bit can go really far and inspire you if you win the giveaway!

ThredUp - Bower Power

I bought 12 pieces from thredUP and I figured out so many different combos to wear them together and apart that make for a really great wardrobe.  Here are a few of the different outfits that are my favorites…

ThredUp - Bower Power ThredUp - Bower Power ThredUp - Bower Power

I simply added my own shoes and accessories and was able to get some really good looks that make me feel like a million bucks at a very discounted price!  And the best part is that I can also easily mix the pieces into my own wardrobe….so this striped skirt?  Boom….worked amazing for church one Sunday with my old polka dot sweater.

ThredUp - Bower Power

I put together this example of ways you can mix n match different pieces so that for 16 days I can wear a completely different outfit!  That’s like an entire wardrobe.  And for less than the cost of the ONE dress at normal cost.  AMAZING.

ThredUp - Bower Power

So I dare you to go to thredUP and not find something you will love.  I know you will.  It’s incredible. And the amazing part is that thredUP is giving Bower Power readers a special offer… 40% off your entire thredUP order by CLICKING HERE and using the code BOWER40 – this is valid through 2/1/17 for first time shoppers up to $50….  And for those of you waiting so patiently for the giveaway….the time is here baby!

  2. I really love Thred Up! My only hesitation is with sizing because I am never quite sure. I bought a suede jacket from Thred Up almost 2 years ago and still LOVE it. I seriously get compliments on it every single time!

  30. All those choices on their site… but I REALLY want that red sweater in your post!! I bought from ThreadUp a few months ago and LOVE it!!

  46. I reall love the Gap maternity casual black dress. It would be so versatile for the remainder of my pregnancy!

  58. There was a beautiful navy blue cocktail dress available that would be perfect for a holiday party. Thanks for offering this giveaway.

  82. I can’t link to anything because I just bought it all for my kids!!! Now I need to win this giveaway so I can go back and find something for myself later on.

  88. House of Harlow 1960 boots…I have a shoe thing…but I also have a purse thing! Would love to browse more with a 250 gift win!!! Love this giveaway!

  124. I had heard about ThredUP but never really looked at it or how it worked. Thanks for sharing this post. I spent way too much time looking at clothes for my daughter and I, but if I were lucky enough to win, the first thing I’d put in my cart would be this bag: https://www.thredup.com/product/20163939 I need a new crossbody bag because mine is on its last leg but I can never bring myself to buy a name brand one and this one would serve its purpose well. Thanks!

  126. Would love the chance to spend $250 at ThredUp and would get anything from your capsule wardrobe. I’ve got my eye on a blazer!

  156. The little boys tank tops are awesome. It is so hard to find warm weather clothes for vacation in the winter!

  160. It must be difficult to ever say no to those 4 cuties of yours!!!! I have never tried ThredUp, but I will be checking it out tonight after our 4 cuties are in bed! Great post, as always!

  161. I would buy my baby girl the sweetest Marmellata Christmas dress they have on sale in her size!

  176. I would buy my daughter some skirts. She’s 16 and loves to wear skirts onto of leggings and it’s almost impossible to find skirts in her size. They are either really professional/business style, or long, or super inappropriate…she’s 16 she wants cute but not slutty skirts! Anyways, they have quiet a few that I would love to grab for her.

  183. The pink coach shoulder bag is super awesome! Plus the clutch that (almost) matches…may need to make the purchase!

  185. I love the Dreamer’s Cardigan. It looks so cozy! I ordered from ThredUp before and got a super cute red poncho, very much like the one you have, but I want more colors! Off to look for more 🙂

  188. There’s a red Asos maternity dress that would be prefect to cover the 6 month baby bump this Christmas!

  193. Oh my! I LOVE ThredUp, it’s my go-to to buy clothing for my daughter! As someone who loves a bargain but doesn’t have time to go dig through our local baby consignment store with a baby in-tow, ThredUp has been awesome! I love the ease of online shopping but without the guilt of paying full price and the environmental impact of buying all new clothing! My shopping cart currently has a fun ikat dress that will be perfect with a sweater and boots this winter and great through the spring and next fall!

  198. Oh boy, I want this dress so bad:
    https://www.thredup.com/product/women-polyester-betsey-johnson-dark-blue-cocktail-dress/19676273

    Can I justify ANOTHER dressy dress when I work from home and have no where to wear it…especially when this probably won’t fit? “But hunny, it was such a good price… and my mom can totally make it fit me!!” Ha.
    I get in so much trouble on this site but always make myself feel better by saying “well, it is second-hand”.

  243. I have sold and bought a ton of things on thredup. I am holding out for a Kate spade trench!

  258. I would love a draped open cardigan to add to my winter wardrobe. Looks like they have some great options.

  267. I’m a boymom x5! So I totally feel ya! I’d love to treat myself to a pretty dress for date night and of course something for all the munchkins!

  278. Oh the purses & shoes are great! What a good price. There’s a Gianni Bernini shoulder bag in baby blue that I love!

  302. Maternity wear! Feels so silly to spend a ton on something you only wear for a couple of months, this would be amazing!

  316. I SO wish I was eligible for the 40% off, but I’ve bought from ThredUP many many times, so sadly, I’m not. But, after taking a look at what they have right now…I’m convinced that I need the green Kate Spade handbag. Need it.

  366. I’m surprised by how much cute plus size stuff there is, I am dying for some new tops and see too many cute ones to choose!

  390. ooo come to mama! Seriously. I’m pregnant and going into winter in Wisconsin. Cue the leggings, cardigans, and winter maternity coat.
