The Best Money I've Ever Spent on The RealReal
A catalogue of favorite finds from the last five years, plus links to similar (or in some cases, the exact same) pieces.
Anyone who regularly shops on The RealReal knows how chaotic the experience can be — which is it’s so satisfying to find those special, elusive pieces that make all the endless scrolling feel worthwhile.
Below, I’ve cataloged 11 of my favorite TRR purchases from the last five years: the items I continue to love every time I put them on (and in some cases, the ones I managed to snag for a price that felt like a minor heist). I also share links to current listings across multiple resale sites for anyone looking to track down something similar. If you’ve ever done mental victory laps after scoring a long-hunted item — or if you’re in the market for a timeless blazer, trench coat, pleated mini skirt, or pregnancy-friendly “going out” top — I think you’ll enjoy this.
A fitted navy wool blazer from The Row
Year I bought it: 2020
Price I paid for it: $192.50
The best thing about this blazer — and what makes it stand out compared to classic blazers, IMO — is the single-button structure and the way it nips in perfectly at the waist. It’s been a staple in my wardrobe from the moment I bought it. I found it by searching for “wool blazer” on The RealReal and sifting through their entire inventory in my size.
