Today, in Schoola Style...
Since I heard about Schoola last fall, a steady stream of Schoola packages have hit our doorstep. It's like thrift-store shopping, except I don't have to leave my house. It's a homebody's dream!
(Schoola is an online gently-used clothing retailer where purchases benefit schools. I wrote more about 'em here.)
I always think it's fun to see other people's second-hand hauls, so today I'm gonna share some of our recent Schoola finds.
The lovely thing about having three girls plus me in the house is that even if I've guessed a bit on the sizing, odds are good that somebody in the house can wear it.
I thought this Gap dress might fit Sonia but nope, it's more of a Zoe size. Perfect!
The girls felt that Schoola pictures would be better with a hamster as a prop. Of course.
I didn't plan this at all, but Sonia came outside while I was taking pictures of Zoe, and she happened to be wearing a Schoola shirt and a Schoola skirt.
(Leggings are from Target.)
Sonia also likes to wear that shirt with her Aeropostale skirt from Schoola.
That white pair of leggings is from Old Navy. They were a preschool size when we got them (long leggings), and Sonia just keeps wearing wearing them as shorter and shorter leggings. I'm pretty sure we've gotten our money's worth out of them by now. 😉
Zoe's got a skirt from Schoola just like Sonia's denim one up above.
She's wearing a Schoola Gymboree shirt with hers. Plus Target leggings.
I love the sequinned Gymboree shirts I get from Schoola because each sequin is secured on all the edges. So, none of 'em come off in the wash. Yay!
And Gymboree from Schoola is so much more affordable than Gymboree from Gymboree.
I love this little white shirt I got from Schoola for Zoe. So classy.
Lisey did a fabulous model pose to show off her Schoola dress. So professional. 😉
This striped skirt from Schoola has been seeing lots of wear from Sonia this summer.
It came with some pilling issues, but I just scraped 'em off with an old razor and she's in business.
Shopping at Schoola is slightly more challenging than shopping at other online retailers, due to the vast inventory, but after having made a bunch of orders, I've figured out a few tricks to make it a little easier.
Since this post is already a bit on the long side, though, I'm gonna wait to share my tips until Wednesday, so tune in then for some ideas!

I really want to like Schoola, but their prices are really ridiculous. They are asking over $7 for a freebie shirt from Relay for Life, $36 for Volcom pants that are blemished (they say they are $180 new, but I know they sell for $50 at Dillard's/Nordstrom), etc. I checked the brands that we normally buy for our boys, and in most cases I could get a new item for the same price from places like Nordstrom Rack. Also, my biggest beefs are that I keep finding tons of obviously cut for girls clothing in the boys section along with items priced by brand, not style. Just because something sold for $40 8 years ago, doesn't mean that style is still as valuable today.
Yeah, just like with regular thrift stores, the pricing is a little unpredictable. Sometimes it's outrageous and sometimes it's a steal.
I don't have any experience with Schoola....but you're girls are adorable! 🙂
All your girls are cute as a button but viewing today's pictures I am noticing how GORGEOUS Lisey's hair has gotten to be! All my life I've wanted to have hair like hers!
Yeah, me too. Ha. She got her nice thick head of hair from Mr. FG, not me!
What a fantastic idea, I hate shopping and tend to get most of our clothes online and get them delivered. Your girls look lovely in their outfits. X
The red dress have a really big neckline. It's a challenge to find modest clothes for children these days, specially girls. The shorts got shorter, tee shirts thinner, pants tighter and necklines bigger. People are forgetting to dress on their own terms.
What a great bunch of clothing! We have a couple of different chain second-hand clothing stores in our town, and although they weren't around when my kids were young, they arrived in time for my daughter in her teen years. She preferred shopping there because there was so much variety and she could get so much more for her money. And there's the thrill of not knowing what you might find next. I shop there for almost all my own clothing, too. Schoola seems like a good option for those who don't like to hunt through tables or racks of things.
LOL on the leggings that continue to fit as your girl grows 🙂
Schoola has a coupon today FALLINGPRICES 50% off entire cart + free shipping.
I just wanted to pop in and say that thank you so much for introducing me to Schoola. I can't express how in love I am with the concept of online shopping for used clothes. I'm waiting on my fourth package from them today!
Yay! I'm super glad Schoola is working out well for you.
