I have always been one to love online shopping. It all started in 8th grade with Bloomingdales, Saks, and Shopbop. I perused their online stores and begged my mom to buy me anything and everything that was priced under $40. The situation usually went a bit like this:
"Mom, I love you very much. Can I show you something? It's kind of urgent because I'm afraid that everything in my shopping cart will get sold out! I love this. And I love this. And I can't possibly live without this."
My mom would reluctantly buy them for me with the optimism that I would wear these prized clothes a thousand times over (bless her soul). The clothes would come in a week later. I wore everything maybe once and then they collected dust in my closet.
Nowadays, my online shopping habits are significantly healthier... if you could actually say that my amount of online I do shopping is actually healthy. I actually think through my purchases and do indeed wear what I buy.
My current favorite website are as follows:
This site has the most fabulous clothes. OMG I just drooled over everything I saw on the homepage as I linked the website to this post. Seriously, check it out! They have a really great mix of styles and a wide range of prices, so it fits practically every budget! I've order quite a few pieces from Modcloth and have never been disappointed. People leave really helpful reviews and returns are always free (if it's within 30 days)! How can you go wrong?!
This is the most beautiful skirt in the entire world, in my opinion. You can find it here. It's called "Sweep Me off My Pleats"- which is a fitting name because this skirt really sweeps me off my feet (pleats) every time I see it. My college budget can't quite justify buying it seeing as I wouldn't have a ton of places to wear it to (elegant tea party anyone!?). Buy one day, I will buy it. And it will be a glorious day!
You all probably know that drill. Really great, fashionable pieces, at crazy prices. They aren't necessarily the highest quality, but they are so worth the price!! Call me lame, because I know there is a Forever21 in just about every decent mall. But I can't resist popping over to the online store every once in a while to take a look at what they have. I usually end up filling my shopping cart with loads of jewelry and headbands. But with such low prices ($1.80 for of earings? HOLLA!), it's easy to justify such purchases.
I actually just bought this necklace last week (at a physical store). LOVE it! It's a simple gold bow. That's it. It's just enough to make a little statement. I paired it with a high neck black and white sleeveless top, which I may feature in an upcoming post. I might consider buying it in the silver as well because I liked it that much!
Now I'm sure some know of this website. But for others, I have to put this disclaimer in. This website is not a gross adult website. It's a wonderful, tasteful clothing store. Some prices are a bit steep, but then again I tend to be on the more frugal end of the spectrum. Simply put, look at the clothes. It's pure eye candy!
Stop the traffic. This bag. Oh my goodness. This bag. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made. If it isn't already obvious, I love mint green. Now that the color is in this season, I've been stocking up a bit on mint clothes. The second I saw this bag I almost fell of my chair. It's perfect! My mom saw how much I liked it and bought it for me (have I mentioned how much I love my mom?) This bag is fantastic. It's on the small side, but it holds all I need for the day. I've used it many times and I still think it is the bees knees. I see now that it is 50% off ($34 from $68). Holy cow. I only wish it was $34 when I (my mother) initially purchased it. But it's okay, it's so worth $68 for the amount of love I have for it.
I'm always on the lookout for great new online shopping websites, so let me know if you have any favorites!! Happy shopping!! :)
