Friendly Disclaimer: one thing you need to know about me is that I never buy things at full price. I think the last thing I did was my computer.. when you see MacBooks on sale, help a sista out ;) But that's besides the point. All I'm trying to say is, yes, I'm in college, and yes, I have money issues, yes, I have expensive taste, and yes, I love to shop, what girl in her 20's doesn't? So, although many of the sites I have listed have quite high price tags, they ALL have sales, and very good ones at that! Check the clearance and sale sections religiously and I can almost promise you that $80 bathing suit or $115 pair of heels will one day be sitting there at 40% off.
An extra hint about J.Crew and Madewell, they go through rounds of special sales on their sites. Every couple weeks or so, for about 4 day periods, they have sales of 20, 25, 30, sometimes even 40% off of all Final Sale items. Register for their emails or just click by their site every few days and see what's up, I promise, it will be worth it!
By Invitation Only,
These are online sites that offer limited time only boutiques of designer fashions at high discount!
Some you can simply sign up for, and others you must have a current member shoot you an invitation. If anyone is interested in receiving an invite, send me an e-mail & i would be happy to help you out.
These sites are amazing, I promise. I've only actually purchased from RueLaLa (many times) & HauteLook, but Gilt Groupe, Ideeli, and One Kings Lane have incredible deals that although my bank account just wasn't feeling it, my closet sure was! So give them a try, and if you aren't happy, unsubscribe from their (way overpowering) emails, and never visit the site again, simple as that.
Hope You Enjoy!! :)
