As my first Tuesday, I can think of nothing I know more about than discounted fashion websites.
My love for fashion is unconditional. There is something about a new outfit that can boost your confidence to another level. There are few things in this world that have that power. I say go ahead and express yourselves through fashion, but there is no need to buy designer duds at full price. While most sites you have to sign up for a "membership," it is 100 percent free to receive the email updates of sales.
If I haven't convinced you with the word "discount," how about avoiding a time suck, aka mall trip. As I get older, my hatred for the mall continues to grow. The waiting in line, dealing with angry customers and sometimes *eek* annoyed store employees doesn't always strike my fancy. I have to be prepared for a mall trip, but what if I just want to browse from the comfort of my couch? That is when I hit up the sites below.
If there is something you are longing for or a designer you have been eyeing, my advice would be to check the updates frequently since the sales are on a first come, first serve basis.
Here are my top five discount fashion websites.
- Gilt.com: In addition to women's fashion, men's fashion and children's fashion, there is home decor, city deals and travel destinations for a discount. Your mind can certainly wander on this site about how fabulous your wardrobe could be, but some of the deals are still pricey.
- MyHabit.com: I love this site for multiple reasons. Amazon.com's website so you can use your gift cards to purchase some fantastic items. Recently, I purchased Charles Philip Shanghai flats and a Zac Posen handbag (check out my instagram for a pic of my beauty). I would have never been able to afford a Zac Posen bag any other way. Fabulous!!!
- Ideeli.com: If you haven't used these sites before, this would be the site to start with. Designers like Nine West, bcbg, Halston Heritage and more can be found on this site. I have bought a number of items from this site and they always come in great condition.
- theoutnet.com: Watch out, fashionistas! You may want to warn your bank accounts. This site is filled with talented designers like Marni, Alexander Wang, Diane Von Furstenberg and more! If you have an upcoming occasion, this site would be my first choice. Beautiful dresses, heels, clutches, and jewelry all ready for your choosing.
- CUSP.com: This is also a retail store that is the Neiman Marcus discounted store. Shopping online or in-person is less stressful than stepping foot in a massive Neiman Marcus. I would recommend this site for shoe, handbags and jewelry since I feel that the clothing is still a little pricey.
These sites are all about the "waiting for the right deal" and aren't ideal for the impulse shopping because you may go overboard. I suggest budgeting and saving for luxury goods. We still need to make our mortage/rent payments, ladies!
Happy shopping.
