thredup has been my lifesaver. I can try so many styles/brands for hella cheap and if you have a brand you know fits well, you can find it easy enough.
GretchenVonFetch: RIGHT?! Like....I saw a tanktop I liked. $50. Just.....no. And then the old lady clothes? Not my style. Not that I think I -have- much of a style, butttttt I wanna figure it out!
right? Thredup helped me start to figure out what i like/dont like. You can save your 'sizes' and preferences too and search just based on those.. and you can set alerts for whenever something new is posted in brands/sizes you like.
I've been doing Stitch Fix | Your Personal Stylist on my budget and they've sent me things that fit me amazingly well. Even jeans with my unique shape.
So I was a longtime Torrid shopper before I found stitch fix. There are totally ways to shop there and not spend a fortune, but you have to see the patterns and plan when to shop.
