WEARING
Splendid skirt
James Perse tank top (n/a)
Forever21 jacket (old, from the plus-size section, which I pretend is really this Etoile Isabel Marant jacket)
Robert Clergerie sandals (old)
Jas M.B. bag
It’s a good thing it’s getting warm here, I won’t be able to wear closed shoes for a while; the Rachel Comey sandals I wore Monday tore up my feet 🙁 Seriously, nearly every toe has an open blister on it. I kind of knew this about the sandals from wearing them once before, but I really love them, and wore them around the house for a long time again before wearing them out, to kind of test whether or not I would get blisters AGAIN, but that was nothing compared to an hour or two of constant walking (shopping). It was brutal. And I’m pissed. I’ve hardly worn them, and they were NOT cheap. I can’t possibly sell them to anyone I know, but I need to make some of what I paid for them back…
Moving on, speaking of online shopping, I’ve just re-discovered Zappos. I know, they’ve been around forever, and I used to shop with them all the time, but then they stopped doing automatic overnight shipping and I stopped. Turns out, you can become a VIP and get free overnight shipping, easy peasy. And they do have the best CS in the business. They also have A TON of stuff; nearly everything you could want. I can’t believe I waited so long to shop from them again – I ordered these Born Maldives sandals when they went on sale for $85 on Sunday and they should arrive today.
Where did you used to shop online that you don’t anymore? Or have re-discovered? (I also used to shop at Revolve all the time, but lately, it seems like they don’t carry larger sizes – even mediums – and they never have codes. I like a coupon code every once in a while ;))
I am also totally done with Revolve, which is too bad because it used to be one of my favorites due to the wide selection and coupon codes. Even if I wanted to buy something now I couldn’t, because I SWEAR that they only stock about 2 XS’s in every item.
That F21 jacket was seriously a find…
i know! i used to buy like crazy from revolve, but they never have any sizes anymore…
funny thing about the f21 jacket, i found it on my first and only trip into f21. it’s just not a place i think about going, but this jacket is truly amazing, so i’m glad i did 🙂
Also I recall being obsessed with the site Org Hip Chick when I first started online shopping- I had never seen Ella Moss and the like before and could browse it forever. Do you remember that one? Sadly it appears to be long out of commission.
yes! they used to advertise with me in the early days!! loved them. soooo many of the boutiques i worked with in the beginning are gone. remember active endeavors??
YES. I moved up to Chicago not too long before they closed and was pretty much beside myself when I visited the store, haha! They just did not have those kind of brands in Indiana back then.
That’s what I was going to say!! I used to shop at Revolve a LOT. No more. And really, any place that doesn’t offer a break on shipping and handling. I know, it all gets figured into the cost of the item if they don’t charge it, but psychologically, it’s more important to me NOT to pay S&H. Plus, online shopping has to off coupon codes or forget it! I’m not shopping Calypso as much for those very reasons!
I think I’m going to pretend with a few of my clothing items and see if I love them more! lol…;-)
Totally remember both of those. Used to go to AE when I visited Chicago. Bummer…
Now it is a BCBG despite the fact that there is another BCBG a half mile away! Wish they could have stuck it out.
I’m so sorry about the shoes – they were so cute! But yeah, you can’t wear something that injures you every time you wear it for any length of time. Too bad 🙁
I just rediscovered Ideeli. They have a great plus size sale every week, and i always find stuff I like. Plus, everything is 40%-80% off which is AWESOME. Yay for shopping deals!!
