Dressing for Fall

FASHION· GIVEAWAY

Disclaimer – This is a sponsored post and giveaway brought to you by thredUP.  All opinions are 100% my own.

 

For me, this is a big season of transition.  The weather is changing.  Our family is changing.  My body is changing.  But one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for updating my wardrobe.  And thanks to thredUP, I can do that for a whole lot less!

Most of you know what thredUP is and what they do….but for those that don’t, imagine a place that is the ultimate sale site….selling new and gently worn name brand and designer clothing for a fraction of the price.  They have stuff up to 90% off!  They have some of my favorite brands like Madewell, Loft, J. Crew, Banana Republic, Gap, Zara and H&M.  And since this is a season of transition, I wanted to get a few wardrobe updates that didn’t break the bank….especially since nobody knows if I will be the same size next year!

Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-11

On their site, you can search by brand or by designer or a bunch of other ways….size, color, price or style!  Imagine going to your favorite consignment store and spending HOURS to find the three things that might tickle your fancy.  Well, now you can do that same thing….in your pajamas…and in less time.  And thredUP adds thousands of things everyday….THOUSANDS….so you can save on different finds all the time.

Immediately I was able to pick out a whole bunch of great stuff….this isn’t even all of it!  How cute is this round up, right?!

I hate to admit this because it’s always a little embarrassing to admit that you need bigger clothes, but yeah….right now, I need bigger clothes.  I need clothing that is a little looser around the abdomen and hips and thighs and is nursing friendly and still flattering and weather appropriate.   There.  I said it.

And in order to bring fall flavor to my ever-changing-post-partum-body, I came up with three simple ways that I am implementing with my thredUP picks.  If you are wondering how you could update your own wardrobe for autumn, these would work for just about everyone!

My first fall find is scarves.  Blanket scarves, infinity scarves or anything with a little pattern can take a plain outfit to fall-tastic.  It is also great for all my fellow nursing moms….they act as a drape and can do damage control for burps and messes.  I found a dozen that I loved and narrowed it down to these three as my favorites….

The second fall find for this year is jewel tones.  I am loving all these bright rich colors.  Bright colors are so flattering and make you look younger and more alive!  Unless it’s Halloween, you don’t want to look like the walking dead….so yeah, jewel tones are your friend.

I also recommend balancing those jewel tones and patterned scarves with cozy neutrals.  Neutrals are the most versatile piece in your wardrobe and you can mix and match these with other personality pieces.

Once I made my order with thredUP, I didn’t wait long till the clothing arrived at my doorstop.  (oh and did I mention that my shipping was free!  Yup.  I totally shimmy-shake for free shipping…and right now there is a lot more that shimmies! ha!)

Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-13

If you are worried that it will feel all grungy and weird that you are buying secondhand clothing….thredUP does a really great job of making sure that everything is shipped in a way that looks and feels new.  All the clothing comes folded and wrapped in tissue paper and with thredUP tags.  These little things make the delivery fresh and luxe…I prefer it to going to the store where they just jam your new stuff into a bag and call it a day.  To be perfectly honest, I have ordered from thredUP over 50 different pieces of clothing and nothing has ever arrived in a condition that made me think it was anything but new.

Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-12

Okay….now it’s time to show you what I got.  Are you ready for this?  Because I have to admit….I look pretty dang good in these outfits….I mean…I am a 36 year old who is 3 weeks post partum and running on fumes.  Between the night sweats and the 3 am nursings, I am definitely not your typical model….but these clothes definitely help give me some confidence that I won’t be an utter train wreck!

First, I was immediately drawn to this drapey $13 sweater.  It is normally $55!  And it is super flattering on and is a cozy material and pairing it with a neutral and some jeggings is my dream kind of outfit.  Also color always makes me look a little less sleepy….which is ALWAYS needed after these late night feedings!  I love the silky camisole underneath it too.  That little peplum bottom and v-neck are super flattering for the postpartum belly and makes nursing from the top down a little more easy.

The second outfit features a fur vest which is a trend I’ve been wanting to try for the last year….but they are ridiculously expensive in the stores.  This one was under $30 and I love how much personality it adds.  It’s definitely a fall neutral that has so much texture and hides any little bumps…or big ones 🙂  I paired it with a chambray top and a striped J.Crew tank that was only $9!  That’s down from $40 retail!

Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-10  Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-9

I’m obsessed with this outfit in general.  The lace back cardigan from Free People (only $22 down from $98!) and plaid J. Crew scarf (only $12 down from $65) are great for any occasion.  I could throw this on over any jeans and tank and it instantly looks more put together.

None of my skirts fit right now….except this one.  It’s brand spankin’ new from Loft (still had the tags!) and has an elastic waist so that it can adjust as my postpartum body adjusts.  And I know that normally these skirts retail around $60 but I got it for $11! And the bright jewel tone is perfect for adding a little fall flair to simple black and white.  And that polka dot top?  It’s from Zara…which was a steal at $8!

Last outfit I wanted to show you was this monochromatic pairing.  I LOVE this season because all the cozy drapey layers are perfectly appropriate – like PONCHOS….which are my BFF!  This black poncho and this plaid scarf are gonna be on full rotation this year because they hide ALL the bumps and are super comfortable.  BOTH of them together were $14….normally $37.  GUYS….I spend more than $14 on lunch.

Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-4  Thred Up Fall clothing - Bower Power-3

On my order, I spent $160….I got a ton of different things and yes, even something for Baby Ella!  But the truly exciting part was that I saved $581.08 by shopping thredUP.  That’s a whole lot of diapers y’all!

  4. Loving all PLAID! We are in Texas and we just started getting some cooler weather! I did not even think about the jewel tones for fall until your post. Absolutely gorgeous and makes me want to buy some new/gently used clothing!

  9. I’m seeing so many items I want to add to my wardrobe! I’m really into long cozy sweaters for this fall. I am loving the jewel tones as well.

  10. I love ThredUp and ALWAYS find things I want to buy. Right now I think I need some long flowy sweaters for fall. And plaid.

  12. I am 4 months postpartum, so I’d buy some jeans for fall. I don’t fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes, and it is time I dress the body I have.

  13. Ohh! Jewel toned blazers to layer at work. With a textured scarf and tailored skinny jeans, I feel like I can run the work world (even when sleep deprived by the littles at home)!

  21. love that they sell maternity clothes! In def. need of some fall/winter pieces.

    Also can you please do a hair tutorial- it always looks amazing!

  22. I’m digging plaid, too. And that ThredUp carries Anthropologie. What?! Mostly, I’m just digging fall weather since it’s taken awhile to make it to Houston.

  24. I’m looking for clothes that flatter a post pregnancy body as well. I’m due in January and don’t have nice winter post-partum clothes.

  25. I’m in need of larger tops for this winter as well, so I’d love to try these new fall trends in the next bigger size =\

  26. I’m a year postpartum and am finding that none of my fall and winter shoes fit! Definitely need some new boots, both a tall pair and some ankle booties.

  29. I recently ordered from ThreadUp for the first time and was REALLY impressed! What I want? All the scarves!

  31. scarves!! i loved how they really dressed up your outfits! mine all seem so outdated so a few new ones could hopefully help to polish me up a bit this fall 🙂

  40. I definitely need some new boots for fall & winter. My second baby did a number on my feet and few of my shoes fit any longer! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!

  52. I’m loving all the cute bright colored purses. Purses and shoes are my weakness!

  54. I really need some new cardigans, especially a few of the flowy, open ones. I’ve worn all mine out and it’s such a staple of my fall wardrobe!

  56. I bought maternity clothes from ThredUp last year, and they were awesome! Most were like brand new.

    I’m 5 months postpartum and I’m just now fitting into my pre-pregnancy sizes, but I’m hoping to lose a little more weight. I’d love to purchase a few nursing-friendly dresses to make it through the fall/winter.

  57. Since I’m pregnant this fall, I’m looking for cardigans and cute maternity t-shirts to layer for fall and winter.

  59. I believe you can never have enough chunky sweaters. It’s not even that cold in my area but they just make you feel cozy.

  64. I’d like a big brown leather bag. Been carrying around a diaper bag for the last 6+ years…would love something that looks cute but can still hide wipes and snacks and changes of clothes…

  65. I am loving the fall blazer trend or the cognac colored oversized jackets….love thred up and would LOVE to win some moolah to shop!

  67. With the weather getting cooler I am in need of some new blazers for work. I saw a few great ones from J Crew and Ann Taylor!

  68. I would love to get some UGG boots for winter but definitely don’t want to pay full price. I’d love to win!’

  73. I love me some ThredUP…I just got some really great boots, jeans and an awesome cream long sleeved top not that long ago. I would love some cute lightweight sweaters, maybe a poncho like yours!

  74. I’m 7 months pregnant, so really digging the long cardigans that will help me transition to post-partum this winter!

  75. Scarves! I have one as we live in Fl, but I want to try them to add some pop to my regular mom uniform.

  78. I want a goody box! I would love someone to curate a box for me and I keep what I want or not!

  84. My youngest daughter went from kid sizes to adult sizes over night (ok, since last winter). She has nothing for winter right now so she needs clothes ASAP and we’re on a budget! I used Thred Up last Christmas for my son and saved a ton.

  85. I am always on the hunt for cute dresses for our winter trips, they have so many to pick from!!!

  88. I didn’t have any scarves until just a couple days ago. I ordered a plaid blanket scarf from Amazon that you linked to recently, but I have no idea how to wear it! I just look like I draped a literal blanket over my shoulders! Can you tell me how to style it?

    So, yes, I’m digging scarves. I want to find a few infinity scarves too.

  89. I’m digging plaid and leggings. HAVIng just had baby #4 and turning 30 this week, I’d love to be able to get some new clothes!

  97. You look GREAT, Katie! I am currently 7 months pregnant with my first child, so I love that ThredUp has a great maternity selection! I found a lightweight plum sweater from H&M maternity that is super cute for fall! I tried linking to it but it won’t work on my phone.

  98. All the jewel tones are amazing! I’m also loving all things navy and mustard yellow. Also in post baby stage and need clothing updates!

  99. I don’t know how you do it! I’ve only got 3 kids and half the time I’m wearing my stinky workout clothes and the rest of the time I look like a lazy bum! I need you to find me some outfits because you’ve got the eye! I’m into the cozy longer cardigans and scarves! Congrats on your beautiful new addition! She’s the perfect exclamation point to the end of your baby story!

  100. Ooh I love thredup! I actually just ordered like 10 pairs of jeans from them, tried them all on at home, and have found 3 that I’m keeping (and you know jean shopping is HARD). I just (well, almost 9 months ago but give me “just”) had a baby so it feels so good to go into Fall weather with jeans that FIT!

    Next on my shopping to do is sweaters. I need some thin ones that look good under jackets. Something like this: https://www.thredup.com/product/x-linda-allard-ellen-tracy-wool-cardigan/29175564?sizing_id=391%2C382%2C386%2C781%2C18%2C396

  102. Thanks for always being so honest about the mom bod. Man it’s real. You look fabulous. Personal question for ya, where do you find bras? You’ve helped me a ton to find places for my 30 year old, two kids under 2 self. But I’ve been wearing one bra for 4 years through two pregnancies and it really needs to retire. I just CANNOT find something that is comfortable and supportive. Do you have any go to places?

  103. Dressied up cotton sweatshirts. Because I’m tired but still have to look semi nice for work.

  106. I found a J. Crew silk dress that would be perfect for holiday parties! I’m also loving all the scarf options

  107. I’m loving gray/neutrals and polka dots right now. I’m dying for the Zara wool coat on ThredUp, navy cowl neck, polka dot sleeves, so cute!

  110. While I had my babies 18 and 20 years ago, I still have baby weight! I love the long tunics and sweaters to hide it!

  112. I’ve been eyeing all the super cute sweaters they have right now.
    there’s also an incredibly cute plaid anthropologie dress I just saw from clicking thru your link. 🙂

  113. I am eyeing up lots on the site. I recently lost some weight and don’t really have much that fits me right now, but money is tight. This shopping spree would be so helpful!

  114. I’m always loving chunky knits and neutrals for fall. This year I’m looking at maternity clothes on thredup and I have found some cute stuff already.

  115. I want the pink Marc jacobs dress in the new designer section!!! It’s perfect to layer warm neutrals with for Christmas and New Years parties.

  116. I love ThredUp! I would buy some jewel toned shirts and stock up on J Crew gingham shirts because a southern girl just can’t have enough of those

  117. I found some cute sweaters! More than one, of course! Looking to add some chunky sweaters, and some cute fall tops to my wardrobe! Love Thred Ups prices and winning this would be even sweeter!! Thank you for the chance!

  118. We’re always on the lookout for great deals for our house school student! She loves unique clothes and warm sweaters.

  120. I love that beautiful green sweater! For fall I’m loving tunics and thicker leggings, anything that works well for nursing.

  122. Cashmere sweaters – so cozy, but not too bulky. And on ThredUp, I can actually afford them! Fun ThredUp story today – had a stain on one of my favorite Gap sweaters and after soaking multiple times, I gave up and decided it was a goner. But today, I found that same sweater on ThredUp for $11! So happy to replace one of my favorite fall pieces!

  125. Great outfits. I need a whole new wardrobe for work. Love tops with fancy sleeves – not very practical but so darn cute.

  126. YOU ARE ADORABLE. I love your hair. Love the clothes. Love the prices. And I need to shop for some cute cozy sweaters!

  128. I always love a good puffer for the fall! I live in the south so they’re perfect! Warm but not too warm!

  134. I love ThredUp thanks to you posting all the fun finds! I just ordered a few things actually. 🙂 I need some new updated sweaters, nothing to big and bulky but some cute statement pieces that are easy to layer (hello FL ‘fall’)

  135. Fall always means jewel colored clothing and all the scarves (even though in Los Angeles we really don’t get fall or winter!) There is a INC burgundy printed scarf that is lovely. Thanks for the giveaway!

  136. I am loving all the booties and sweaters. I live in cold MN and boots and sweaters are a staple!!

  137. Some nicer tops! I tend to only wear plain basic shirts and I would like some things with lace details, flowing sleeves, etc.

  142. Sweaters for me too! Drapey cardigans, especially. I live in CA and we can mostly get by on sweaters from October-March. (Ok, with the occasional jacket.)

  144. I really want a quality (merino or cashmere) close-fitting turtleneck that I could pair either with slacks or skirts for work, or even wear underneath a sleeveless dress, jumper-style! I’m also really loving blouses with fancy sleeves in neutral tones.

  152. I wear jewel tones and neutrals are 95% of the time regardless of the season. Right now I need some skirts to round out my closet.

  153. Can’t go wrong with a blazer. Love their selection. Paired with one of their plaid scarves and I am instantly good to go.

  156. Thred Up has an amazing selection of purses! There’s a great yellow Michael Kors purse I’ve love to have.

  159. They have some super cute ankle boots, paired with a plaid shirt over some skinnys or leggings!

  161. I could really use some new cardigans! Perfect for layering for my sometimes hot, sometimes cold office!

  163. I have been looking for some pretty, long necklaces and there are a lot to choose from.

  168. I’m pregnant (for the first time) this fall, so I’m loving the open, drapey cardigans. I love the poncho you found too.

  171. I’m a gramma so I”m not really model material! I love longer velvet tunics with black leggings!

  173. I found a cute knit Athleta dress. I like neutrals and jewel tones for fall. Scarves are always fun too!

  175. I would really love some new fall neutrals (I found a really cute gap sweater in thredup!), my youngest is 5 months old so I’m ready for an update too!

  178. Cute scarves! It’s always around this time of year that I wish I lived somewhere other than Florida so that I could enjoy more than a day of Fall. But then, I’m think of living in snow…and I’m okay again 🙂

    But, I could really use a work blazer. Something to throw on to make outfits look more business casual instead of just my go-to cardigans.

  179. I’d get a blazer – or a skirt. I wish you’d do my shopping for me – you have a real talent for finding adorable things!!

  180. I visited the site but honestly really loved the poncho you are rocking here! I’m traveling inMarch and need a cool weather wardrobe.

  184. I just had baby #2 … as in, we’re still in the hospital. So this fall, I’m looking for forgiving clothes that will last through my fourth trimester and beyond! I think the Tracy Reese Casual Dress would be a good start!

  185. Holy cats! I’m going to begin trouble. All of those glorious sweaters. I also want to add olive to my wardrobe this year, and I found ample examples. Thanks for sharing this site.

  186. Loving all the plaid and cozy fabrics for fall on the website! You got some great finds! I am also loving all the kids clothes–searching for a winter coat for my 5-year-old!

  189. Love all fall flannels, esp the classics from LLBean. Just saw a navy douney and bourke crossbody bag on the site for 52% off!

  193. I’ve been a stay at home mama for 14 years. I just went back to work at a school very part time and am looking forward to wearing cute dresses with leggings and boots this fall 🙂

  194. I’ll keep looking for another one of those Free People cardigans! But really, I’d stock up on long cardigans.. or any tunics really. Leggings, tunics, and boots are my current jam as I try to hide my growing 12-wk baby bump at least a few more weeks at work!

  196. I spy some cute cardigans and I could also use some jeans now the weather is finally cooling down here in TX!

  199. Okay, Thred Up folks, I went to your website to check it out. First and foremost I wanted to know how returns work, because I don’t necessarily know my size at every retailer. But, I can’t click through to anything without logging in from Facebook or giving you my email. Even trying to click the basic menu creates a pop up asking for it. I don’t want to give you my information, much less accept your terms and conditions, until I explore your policies and know I want to shop with you. I am in need of clothes and Katie’s description appealed to me, but this policy (or website design issue) lost you a potential customer.

  200. I love thredup and used it post-partum too. I like thredup to try the latest trend. Today? The faux fur look

  201. Loving the scarves, but they are all sold out! Guess I’ll settle for plaid button downs (perfect for errands after working out!)

  205. You look so good in all your outfits!! I love your style and definitely use your tips for my own postpartum body 🙂 I would love some long, flowy tops!!

  206. I’m really loving drapey sweaters in muted colors. I’m also currently obsessed with layering long necklaces!

  213. Im also 3 weeks pp, and have the same 5 outfits on rotation (maternity jeans and T-shirt with a cardigan thrown on top). It would be nice to have a few items I haven’t been wearing the last 9 months (a sweater? Or a plaid button down?) to get me through the next 9 months… bc let’s be honest that’s probably when my real clothes will fit again!

  216. I’m due with my third in just over a week , and I think I’m going to need some postpartum clothes that fit me. Some new pants for sure!

  217. I’m always looking for fun tops for me and clothes for my kids. Also the handbags on here are great. Love ThredUp!

  219. I’m really into sweaters right now. The most winters I usually am not. By the way you look great and I don’t even think you look like you just gave birth to a baby:-)

  221. Katie, you look beautiful! I always love getting new sweaters for fall and winter. It’s so cold where I live!

  222. Love all the sweaters! I coil live in a glory cardigan all day 🙂 the dresses for my 8 year aren’t great too, I found so many she would like!

  225. Love booties for fall! Also maybe a structured blazer to pull myself together. I am 6 months postpartum so button downs are my current jam 🙂

  230. My baby is 15 months old and I just lost the baby weight lol so I am ready for some new clothes. I am digging sweaters of about all kinds right now!

  232. Great finds! I am loving the poncho with jeggings this fall. Also, would love to try one of their goody boxes:-)

  233. I am expecting baby # 3 so I love anything that fits and makes me look slightly less huge! For me that’s a tighter fitting top layered with a cute chunky knit!

  234. Baby #3 is in the way and I have ZERO maternity clothes! So I’m loving long, flowing cardigans (not necessarily maternity) and long tanks!

  236. I am two months postpartum and also in that lovely self-esteem boosting stage where nothing fits. I would use thred up to get some pants as I hate to spring for brand new pants when I’m not sure what size I will be in a few months!

  237. I am looking for new booties, scarves and cardigans. Love that I can buy name brands for less!

  238. I didn’t know before that thredup also sells handbags! I went to their site and I want to replace my purse with a new hand bag for the fall/winter!

  240. I am loving the fall dresses! There’s a super cute Calvin Kline one that I’d love to hang up in my closet 🙂

  241. Would love to find a long cozy black cardigan. Thred up is my fav because it’s like guilt-free shopping. I just feel bad that they don’t yet have guy stuff for my hubby!

  243. I’m almost 2 years postpartum, and I finally admitted that my body won’t go back anytime soon to the way it was! I need new pants that are in style and don’t cause a muffin top. I’m excited to find all the brands I love for so much less on thredup. Thank you!

  246. I’m loving all the fall colors – reds, maroons, yellows- and the fun patterned scarfs.

  247. Pants!!!! Do you know how hard it is to find pants when you are under 5ft?? And I saw tons of kids clothes

  251. OBSESSED with ThredUp. I’m totally into peplum tops and bomber jackets. <3 great post. You look beautiful. 🙂

  254. I’ve been stalking thredup for a Patagonia fleece – i can’t justify paying full price. So i’m waiting for one to come on the site in my size. 🙂 I also have been looking at a new blazer. One that you can roll the cuffs and it has a cute lining inside. Love this site!

  257. Loving open front cardigans, blanket scarves, and velvet this fall! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  259. First things first.
    You look fantastic. Also. Your hair deserves its own IG page. So good!
    I’m loving long cardigans and boots!

  261. Love thredup! I just got an order in last week. I’m loving dresses with cozy cardigans.

  263. For fall I am digging some shirts i can wear with jeans, and I’d like some of those shirts to be wearable with pants or a skirt for church. I am digging things that are loose around the waist and not too heavy in weight because i get hot easily. I’ve just this year reached a new stage as a mother and that stage is we have to leave the house every day for school and i am required to get out of the car sooo….in need of some clothes for sure! Nothing fancy just something to break up the constant gym wear, hahahahaha.
    I like this top because i think it could be paired with something like a cardigan for when it’s chilly but worn alone in the afternoon when it’s hot.

  266. I love thredUP! I love saving $$, the thrill of the hunt, avoiding the mall and putting great items to good use. I’m digging comfort clothes this season. Nothing binding -it has to move for a mama with stuff to do!

  270. I actually would take advantage of those super affordable handbags! With three little kids and a tendency to have cheerio crumbs in my bag, I never want to spend a lot but Thred Up has some great deals!

  271. I LOVE all the outfits you picked and they are so flattering on you! I would pick a new handbag for fall and a utility vest and tall boots.

  274. I am loving comfy sweaters this fall, the bigger the better to cuddle up in! I am in a long distance relationship and my boyfriend lives in Boston so for our first Boston winter, these sweaters will come in handy 🙂

  278. I’m 6 months postpartum and things still aren’t quite back to normal so I have been loving oversized sweaters and stretchy skinny jeans!

  283. I could use some new sweaters. We don’t need them very often in Texas but I hate spending full price on something I only wear a few months. The ones I have are pretty out dated. I see some really beautiful red ones and I love 3/4 sleeve since I have long arms that always is the best option for me.

  288. I’m in need of soooo many different fall staples, there’s not one thing I can pick out. My fall wardrobe needs help but I don’t have the funds to replenish it.

  290. I would love to find some long, floral dresses! Something I can wear leggings under for some extra warmth while still getting a break from always wearing pants.

  293. I didn’t have a great experience selling with thredup but I really like purchasing through there and one of my goals for this year was to reduce my consumption of “fast fashion” and I think this is one great way to do it. I need some new*to me* jackets and boots for this fall/winter so that’s what I’m looking for.

  295. I am ALL about jumpers right now. One piece, easy to pick out, no fussing with matching – all about the ease!

  298. I’m loving chunky cowl neck sweaters, I found a really cute one from Ann Taylor Loft that would look great with leggings and boots!!

  299. I would love to add some nice fall tops to my wardrobe. I recently lost some weight (Thanks Weightwatchers!) and need to tops that flatter my new, smaller figure. I found a cute silk blouse and a plaid ls top from the LOFT that would look amazing!

  313. I am digging the scarf trend – definitely pulls an outfit together.

    Also, it DOES NOT look like you just had a baby! You’re glowing!

  315. I love thin, long-sleeve sweaters and, when cool enough, a nice, chunky sweater is perfect to keep comfortable and warm.

  317. I’m digging fall colors right now in general – plums, maroon, etc. And I need to add so much to my wardrobe, as I just lost a lot of weight and not much fits me rigth now. I’m particularly interested in the jeans section on ThredUp!

  318. I have such a love for plaid blanket scarves! I had no idea about Thread Up – I’m a single mom, and budget clothes shopping is a necessity. Thank you so much for your post – I can see a lot of savings in my future!

  324. I just found out I”m pregnant for the first time, so I was scoping out maternity dresses and jeans to stock up for when I get bigger!

  326. I like to grab a few new tops for each season to freshen up my wardrobe. I am loving all of the jewel tones. I’m checking out their jeans now and found a few pair.

  327. I’m loving all the scarf options they have! Give me all the chunky sweaters and long, flowy shirts too!

  328. I could use a new fall bag. We are finally out of diapers and haven’t had a new purse (non-diaper bag) in ages!

  330. I love baggy sweaters and ankle boots. I’ve put on a lot of weight from stress so something that hides the bump… I can totally relate to!!

  332. I am digging all sorts of shoes this fall. I want options, and colorful. I checked out the shoes on ThredUp, great options!

  337. Katie, you look adorable! I know your body is different and you’re adjusting, but holy cow — you look amazing! Your body has made 5 people! Five, tiny, perfect little people — nothing short of miraculous, actually — and of course it should reflect that. Lose weight, gain weight, whatevs – you’re beautiful and amazing. xoxox

  338. Thredup always has linen skirts, and I cannot resist them! And elastic waistband ones, especially J.Crew, are my spirit animal!

  340. Everything! With 6 kids at home, shopping for mom is hard to come by. I haven’t updated my closet in years! 🙁

  343. You look so great in all these photos! Make-up tutorial please 😀

    I would love some dress pants for work. the skinny ankle style that is so popular now!

  348. I love the basic Black Ann taylor loft dress that I just saw on thred up! It would be great with leggings and boots for Fall. I couldn’t copy the link for some reason.

  349. I LOVE thredup for a million reasons. huge kid selection, great brands, it’s better for the environment!

    i often hesitate to shop second hand bc i’m not sure about sizes, but shopping this way you can order confidently! i’m going to be postpartum soon (currenly 37 weeks preg!) and am looking forward to using thredup to get me through the awkward phase 🙂

  350. I love thredUP! And I especially love anything warm and cozy, since the hubs likes to keep the heat at a toasty 64 degrees in the winter! Give me all the chunky knits!

  352. I am eyeing a Maggie London silk dress for my daughter. An adorable little black dress. I am still exploring the plus sized clothes. I love a nice cozy sweater that is good for layering. I’m on the hunt!

  353. I’ve recently lost some weight so I am in need of new neutral basics I can swap out to make several looks. Love thredup!

  354. I am looking to size up in some clothes since I am having a baby in a week. Vests and scarves are my go to to hide some of the baby jiggle that takes a while to go away.

  355. I live in northern Michigan where it’s already been fall since the middle of summer (admittedly, we did have two separate crazy warm weeks this fall), so I’m looking at allllllll the big sweaters/cardigans/anything warm. 🙂 I’m due with baby #2 in December and my method of coping for maternity wear is to go with maternity tanks and my regular cardigans. So great for transitioning after baby is here!

  358. I would love to get a winter jacket and some stuff for my son. I love shopping for basics that can transition through multiple seasons.

  361. I’d love to get a versatile chambray button down shirt that would go with everything. I have a ton of outfits pinned that have chambray shirts, but I don’t have one myself!

  362. Five months postpartum and my weight is good, but i feel like everythInf shifted. Some pants that fit would rock!

  368. You look so amazing mama! 😉

    I have two big things happening in my heart right now for fall wardrobes…
    1) Fur vests. I have yet to invest as the in-store pricing is always dismally high. And
    2) Green. Olive green has snuck up on me but I am loving it! I’ve been searching for excuses to wear it, especially with those perfectly classy neutrals like B&W stripes and touches of leopard…So gorgeous!

  370. I am digging leather satchels in all the colors – orange, mustard, blue, purple – TU has a bunch of cute options from Aldo, Olivia + Joy, Coach, Steve Madden, etc. that I have my eye on. Love Thred Up!

  371. Found a Green banana republic sweater I am buying, along with a bunch of other items. Hopefully they all fit.

  373. I can’t seem to login to my account at the moment. Boo! I would love a new winter coats or some fun boots. Thank you so much for offering such a great giveaway.

  374. I would love to get a great pair of boot cut jeans which are kind of impossible to find these days.

  376. So, my baby is about to turn 7…and I’m finally losing all the weight I gained after having 2 kids in 2 years…and letting myself eat what ever I felt like! SO, I have the opposite problem, my clothes are now too big. I am needing to get some dress shirts/nicer things to wear to church and when I work 1 day a week…I’m looking at dress shirts, and for a cute denim jacket! Glad you got cute things to make yourself feel better!!! Lots of grace while you adjust to 5 (and several other littles).

  377. I need to try this! Long sweaters for layering and jewel tones to get me out of my comfort zone! They have so many fun pieces!

  378. The maternity clothes! Baby #2 is coming at a completely different time of year than baby #1 and I’m looking for some affordable winter maternity clothes!

  379. Their site has LOADS more than I thought it would.
    I’m all about adding some comfy cardigans to my life. Nursing my 3rd babe right now and between the hot flashes, living in Florida during “fall” (as you understand being in Georgia), and the need for a tank top to keep from sweating allllll day but not wanting to show off my bra straps – cardigans are my newest best friend.

  380. I love sweaters! I’m always cold so sweaters I could layer and still look put together for work are key right now.

  384. I am expecting baby #3 in a few weeks, so I could definitely use a few new pieces for the holidays. I am loving the jewel tone tunic tops and sweaters!

  389. Maternity tops. Loving the baggy non-maternity right now in hopes of wearing longer.

  390. Plaid anything! I’m a yoga pants kind of girl so I like to dress up in skirts and a nice loose top.

  394. I love all the plaid scarves. Also the ankle booties – I need to get a few more colors 🙂

  398. I would love to find a few good quality sweaters I could use for an office-casual environment and at home chasing after my 2-year-old!

  402. There is an adorable Sparrow striped cardigan that I am eyeing. Thanks for the chance to win!

  408. Love thread up both for my son and myself. I love your items for fall!! I would love to try to find a poncho so cute!

  412. With three teenage daughters and myself to clothe, this giveaway would be amazing! I want all of the blazers. ALL!

  413. I’d love some fall/winter shirts that are easy to dress up and down. I need good baby wearing/nursing clothes, so minimal layers to tuck into the carrier but that work well with a cover/scarf. I’m sure you already have your baby gear, but i’m sort of obsessed with the Tula carrier.

    Also, you look amazing. We all need bigger clothes post-partum. ❤️ Take care of yourself and baby. I’ve been amazed that you’re posting so frequently!

  414. Hello there! Thank you for this wonderful giveaway! I would love the Neiman Marcus poncho I saw on thredup! Hope I am the winner! It would make my day…or rather, month!!!

  416. I’m loving that I can wear my “uniform” again – leggings, boots, and a tunic top. I LOVE ThredUP and have had a lot of success selling my clothes with them.

  417. You look amazing, Katie! And having clothes that fit during this crazy body transition time is so important to feeling good and starting to feel like yourself again. Thanks for the chance to enter – I’m loving all the scarves!!

  420. I need to buy larger size clothes too, thanks to prednisone, and love ThredUp! I am loving the leather moto jackets and the chunky/loose/baggy sweaters look oh so comfy!!!

  423. As the weather is getting colder all I’m interested in is cozy and it’s a bonus if it’s also cute 🙂

  427. i seriously love every single one of the scarves that you featured – but could really use a jacket!!

  428. Im really liking crushed velvet lately. Thred up is great for trends bc the price and style
    Is perfect

  430. I am always on the search for expensive looking office wear without paying expensive prices! Bring on the blazers in everybody color!

  431. Obsessed with buffalo check, and bookies for fall. I love ThreadUp, clothes for the whole family!

  434. I am digging all the warm, cozy sweaters in fall colors! And the chance to refresh my wardrobe (always buying for the kids, not much for mom)!

  436. Oops, I thought my original comment didn’t go through and had to resubmit it. Please delete it if that’s against the rules! My bad!

  438. I’ve been obsessed with dresses this year, especially A-line dresses with a defined waistline. But they don’t appear to be “in” this year? What?! Such a classic should never leave stores. Also, I’m always obsessed with knits 🙂

  439. I would love to find some cute maternity clothes for the holidays and my upcoming sprinkle. What a fun website!

  442. We recently moved to south Texas, and I’m needing some cute jackets to get me through winter. Apparently my big winter coat won’t be much use here. haha

  444. Im digging 90’s crushed velvet for fall! I love it! Thredup for sure has some good fall staples — so many cute lulu leggings for a good price!

  445. I always wear black, but I’m loving some of the jewel tone sweaters, including a gorgeous J. Crew wool sweater I teal that I just spotted. It would be fun to branch out of my comfort zone! I also love the fur vest you’re rocking here!

  447. I could really use some warm sweaters and I’m really liking some of the jewelry that I see on there. The lace back cardigan is really cute.

  451. I love all the cozy cardigans… we just had our first snow yesterday in MN and it’s 32 degrees this afternoon!!

  453. I am looking for a blazer and some drapey cardigans. Also a little plaid somewhere! I’ve got some bumps too, and I am 11 years post partum.

  459. I’m really feeling tunic style shirts to layer under cardigans and scarves. I need all the layers!

  465. in general i’m digging plaid and sweater dresses but love the Yoki
    Jacket and cant believe its only 17 bucks

  466. I’m curious about how you shop the site… did you search brands you know you like or start with size and go from there?

  467. I start with brands I know and filter by size. I look for silhouettes that I know look good on my body and I don’t look at the picture as much as I do the description.
    xo – kb

  468. ALL of the chunky knit sweaters, especially longer ones that look good with leggings. Also, thanks for turning me on to the Old Navy jeggings. They are life!

  470. Katie, I’ve been a long time reader of yours and today felt compelled to comment. I know you like to poke fun at yourself when you’re feeling unsure (and lord knows I know how it feels to be self conscious) but you truly deserve to give yourself some grace. You are absolutely beautiful inside and out. I’m sure you know that too, but it’s easy to get wrapped up in feeling less than perfect, especially with crazy postpartum hormones. Anyway, I hope you don’t read this as preachy… I just totally feel you and hope that soon you can feel as confident and beautiful as we all see you. xoxoxoxo
