Thred-up Rescue Box

I saw a blogger I follow try a rescue box.  She tried the 50 shirts for $100.00 box I believe.  I'm not much of a gambler so I didn't want to dedicate $100.00 for a few shirts I might like.  When I was looking at the app on my phone last month I decided to look into the rescue box.  I found that there were SEVERAL varieties of boxes.  I found the "classic" box that had 10 name brands such as Ann Taylor, JCrew, Banana Republic, Loft...things in that same brand style.  It was $44 with $6 shipping.  BUT for a limited time you can use the code "RESCUE" and save the $5.99 shipping!  It came about 10 days ago and I'm trying to take pictures as I wear the items which is why it's taken me so long to blog about it.  

Three things I KNEW I wasn't into went into my "take to clothes mentor" pile, and two I wanted to keep but couldn't because of fit.  If I can't make money off of them from Clothes Mentor then they will donate them for me.

 While this dress was cute, the tie at the top wasn't me.  Had it been a straight neck I probably would have kept it.

 This red pencil skirt was VERY bright.  I don't think I would have ever worn this.

 It had a great texture to it though.  Just wish it wasn't so BRIGHT!

I wish I would have gotten a closer picture of the "beads".  The beads are wood looking, they clanked when you held the shirt...that would have made me crazy after wearing it for even a short time.

I originally had this in my keep pile.  I put it on that morning and realized it was way too big on me (even at a small), and was SO see through.  (enjoy my just woke up face!)

NOT PICTURED: an Ann Taylor basic black pencil skirt.  Tried it on and, yeah no that wasn't going to work!

What I kept:

 This great shirt.  The material was not quite a sweater but not quite a t shirt...it was great!

It was almost embroidered ribbon looking - totally my style.

 The shirt AND the skirt I got in the box.  I didn't have a khaki skirt - so I was excited to get it.

The long sleeve shirt is GREAT - I can wear this with colored jeggings as well. It's a great work shirt.

This JCrew skirt is also great!!  It's a wool material - but I can make it work for one last time in the spring and then it won't come out again till fall/winter.  But it's SUPER comfortable.  

 I was worried about this waist band cutting into me - but it actually lays very nice and doesn't feel uncomfortable at all!!!

 It has a great herringbone pattern.  Very neutral color (it's more of a charcoal color than this light grey it looks like in this picture)

In the end I kept 5 of the 10 things sent in the box.  The price of the box was $44 and the shipping was $5.99.  So in the end I paid $9.99 for each of the 5 pieces I kept, and I still might recoup some of that money when I try to sell 5 to clothes mentor this week!
