If 2021 taught us anything at Curtsy, it was that if you manifest hard enough, write down your goals and keep a positive attitude, your dreams can become reality. 2022 can really be YOUR YEAR if you start it off right! With the New Year quickly approaching, now is the time to start thinking about how you’ll create your 2022 Vision Board. We’ve got all the answers for the Curtsy community to manifest all your dreams and goals in 2022!
✍️ Write down your personal goals for the year
To start off your 2022 vision board, you are going to want to take note of all the ideas, goals and dreams you’d like to achieve in the new year. Personal, financial, educational/career and social are great places to start! Decide on the ones that are the most achievable and highlight them.
📸 Create a “2022” board on Pinterest to add photos that align with your goals
Head over to your Pinterest account, create a 2022 board and start adding photos, quotes and ideas that align with your goals list. Pick a color scheme and images that are different sizes to create a true collage. Next, download the photos that you want to piece together!
✨ Download a collage app
Use a free app like Canva or Picsart where you can create a collage on a blank canvas. Resize the images however you like, then save your final collage in 16:9 ratio for your phone wallpaper!
🎉 Make the collage your wallpaper & take on 2022!
Now you are all ready to take on the New Year with your goals, ideas and dreams at the forefront. 2022 is your oyster so put your new vision board everywhere and keep manifesting the year ahead!’

Learn how to turn your Black Friday into ♻️Green Friday♻️ by saving money AND the planet today!
Did you know the biggest shopping day of the year also has a big impact on the Planet due to higher production and shipping? When Black Friday deals drop there’s no reason we should drop our love for Earth too. Turn Black Friday into Green Friday by shopping the Curtsy way. Here’s how to find great deals that make a small impact on your wallet and the Planet.
👋 Shop second hand (*cough-cough* CURTSY)
Spend Black Friday right by saving money AND the planet when you thrift shop. What’s your favorite online thrift store and why is it Curtsy 😉? There’s no better place to #extendthetrend and shop looks you love without all the guilt. Plus, every day feels like Black Friday with daily deals on the Curtsy app.
🛍 Support small & local
This year it’s more important than ever to shop small, because many small businesses are feeling the impact of the pandemic. Show your support by shopping locally at a boutique or online at Etsy. Small shops offer just as great of deals as the big guys.
💚 Shop eco-conscious brands
We see major red flags when a brand is afraid of commitment (to us and the Planet). This weekend shop responsibly from the below list of eco-conscious brands we admire.
Impulse buys are fun, but knowing you took your time to find the best deal on what you actually need can be even better. This year make a list of what you need before you start shopping so you don’t gobble up every sale you see.
👯♀️Shopping in person? Buddy up!
Have plans to add fresh finds to an IRL shopping cart? Invite a wingman to your in-person adventure and carpool from store to store. Plus, don’t forget to bring along your reusable tote for your new items. The Planet will thank you!
At Curtsy, we’ve re-imagined how you shop for and sell your clothes. We’re working everyday to use our platform to keep fashion out of landfills and give apparel a second life. We’re making it easy for you to buy and sell your clothes, shoes, and accessories online and through our app.
At Curtsy we value integrity, boldness, and community. We’re dreamers, thinkers, doers, and achievers. We meld old-school tradition with new-school disruption. We want to be THE go-to for sustainable fashion, and it takes bold action, challenging the status quo, and delivering a wow customer experience.
So far we’ve kept over two million items out of landfills and helped our community earn over $30M through giving their clothes a second life. Together we work hard, we dream big, and we look great doing it.
We started Curtsy in the Tri Delt house Ole Miss. Today we’re a small but mighty team with an office in downtown San Francisco. We’re still a small startup and are looking for people just as fun and lively to join the team! Read on for more deets! 👇🏼

When a new trend hits there’s always at least one brand we look to who’s doing the trend right. Think Lululemon for hi-rise leggings or Patagonia for fleece vests. Scroll below for current Fall trends to start shopping and what brands to search for that are doing the trend right.
SHACKETS:
This season’s crossover style is shirt jackets. Grab one when you like being outtsiiiddee, but aren’t ready to commit to a full-on jacket. We especially have our eyes on shackets in plaid or sherpa.
CHUNKY SHOES: Ready to bare your sole? Make it a thick, chunky sole and you’ve got our attention. Whether you’re feeling boots, sneakers, or loafers this Fall, make them chunky and you’ll be held in high regard.
OVERSIZED LEATHER BLAZERS: Nothing says effortlessly cool like an oversized leather blazer. Embrace this street style by going up a size when shopping for your Fall layers.
SLIP DRESSES: Slip dresses can take you from Holiday parties to chilling with friends in an instant. How to wear them in Fall? Throw on a blazer and your chunky boots to complete the look.
For when you’re in a soft pants mood, but want to look chic, grab for relaxed trousers. The flowy silhouette adds length to your look. Plus, they’re comfy, cozy, and cool.
When we started Curtsy *cue the nostalgia* we set out to build the most personalized and easy to use clothing resale app. We’re constantly asking ourselves how we can “level up” and provide an even better experience for our customers. Today I’m excited to announce the biggest change we’ve made since our launch — in other words, a glow up ✨
It’s still the same Curtsy you know and love, but more aligned with our values and more personalized to your unique style. We’re so grateful to the members of our community that participated in this process. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of our customers.
To express our gratitude, use code “NEWNEW” for 15% off all items in the app between now and the end of the day on Wednesday, November 3. We rarely do sales, so don’t miss out on the fun 🙂
Sincerely, David Curtsy CEO & co-founder
Now without further ado… introducing our new look 👀
✨Fresh look, same spirit✨
POV: When Curtsy takes thrifting to the next level
Our early brand was created by a team of four working on a dress rental app. Since 2016, we’ve grown along with our users. We continue to welcome more people, clothing sizes, and styles.
The new Curtsy brand expresses where we’ve been and where we’re headed. We envision Curtsy to be a truly inclusive thrifting experience focused on making fashion more sustainable, while keeping it simple and fun.
The new brand gives the app a fresh feel and makes it easier to find what you love. We’ve kept the original Curtsy spirit, but elevated the look to showcase a modern way to buy and sell fresh ‘fits online.
How personal is personal?
Using more advanced machine learning (aka we’ve gotten to know and like you a lot), Curtsy is even more personalizedto you. Your home feed now features items we think you’ll love based on your recent shopping and favorite brands.
The more you search and shop, the better Curtsy will get to know your style. Nothing creepy, just think of Curtsy as the Spotify of resale apps, serving you a fresh playlist of your favorite looks.

PHOTO TIPS

✔️ Tip #2: *It’s all in the details* Snap your item from all sides, and go in for a closeup to show off the details of unique patterns or textures.
✔️ Tip #3: Post as many photos of the item as you can, cause on Curtsy there’s no such thing as TMI. Try to include at least one photo of the item IRL, a stock photo from the brand, and a closeup.
✔️ Tip #2: BUT Curtsy Babes love discovering fresh brands and styles, so list what you love and we’ll love it too! 😍
✔️ Tip #3: Have an item in your closet perfect for the current szn? Keep the weather in mind and what trends shoppers are coveting. Follow us on social for major trend inspo.

Greetings from Curtsy HQ! If you’re reading this, you already know what we are, but do you know who we are? We recently took a stab at answering this question. We thought about each Curtsy team member and the characteristics that make each person great. What the discussion sparked is this list of traits (some might even call them quirks) that summarize our values and inform everything from our interview questions to our customer service.
TL;DR: We’re a passionate team of optimists and strategic thinkers, with open minds and hearts, who don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Our Values
Persistence
High-level thinking
Going above and beyond
Optimism
Taking responsibility
Teamwork
Fun
Persistence
We bust through walls to achieve our goals (or find a way around the wall, make friends with the wall, or figure out why the wall doesn’t matter).
We solve issues as they arise and course correct when necessary, but we never give up or go home early.
We understand that setbacks are part of the learning process.
High-level thinking
We focus on getting it right (strategy) and getting it done (execution). Both are equally important.
We carve out time to research, think, ideate, and get aligned on the strategy before diving in. A few hours of strategic planning can save us weeks of wasted effort.
Along the way, we regularly zoom out to ensure that we’re still headed in the right direction.
Going above and beyond
Going the extra mile for customers is our normal route. We don’t tolerate mediocrity, and continually work to improve our customers’ experience.
We’re looking for “wow” reactions; delight is our goal. We consider a working app, with helpful and responsive customer service, the bare minimum.
We move quickly to squash issues and bugs that come up to minimize customer impact.
Optimism
We’re motivated by hope for a better future and our ability to bring it to life. The world around us was created by normal people just like us.
We try to look with clear eyes at the reasons why ideas will work rather than fail, taking care to avoid blind optimism. After information-seeking and discussion, we rely on our intuition to guide us.
We have a can-do attitude. If we don’t know something, we believe in our ability to figure it out.
We recognize that no person or company is perfect. To err is human, and companies are human endeavors. When we miss the mark, we will take full responsibility without making excuses.
We don’t blame others for our mistakes.
We’re all part owners in Curtsy, so we act according to its best interests.
We do what we say we’re going to do.
Teamwork
We put aside our egos in the service of the greater goal.
We avoid zero-sum thinking, and competitive or political behavior towards others on our team.
We’re motivated by helping others and see others’ success as our own success.
We’re focused on building strong relationships with others on the team, and tackle conflict head on rather than sweeping it under the rug.
We’re aware of the impact that our actions have on others.
We assume positive intent in others’ actions.
Fun
We spend most of our waking hours at work, so we try to make it fun and laugh a little.
We try not to take ourselves too seriously.
Success is a function of skill, effort, and luck. We bring our best selves to every task, but we don’t stress over what we can’t control.
