Historicalish Wardrobe WITHOUT SEWING - A Winter Thrift Haul
Get warm this winter with an EXTRA 30% off your first order with my code MORGAN : https://bit.ly/thredUPdec20_MORGAN (Offer expires 01/31/21. Applies to US & Canada customers only. See site for full terms). This video is sponsored by thredUP!
I had a great time thrifting online, and was honestly shocked by how much I loved some of the pieces (hello to my new daily wear skirt for eternity). There were a couple duds that I didn't care for (and didn't show in the video), but I just returned them, which thredUP makes very easy. If you have some holes in your wardrobe, give them a try, you have nothing to lose!
(Unless they are literal holes in your clothes, you should darn or patch those!)
