Where do you shop? especially online

Where do you shop? especially online

I feel like I only go to the same few stores- either in person or online- Macy's, Target, Kohl's, Loft or NY and Co. and I feel like I keep buying the same items of clothing over and over again each season.

I need to freshen up my wardrobe and have no idea where to shop.

Anyone have any great places?

Re: Where do you shop? especially online

I usually shop at Torrid, Lane Bryant, and Simply Be. These stores are geared toward plus-size fashion, but I think they go down to a size 10ish (I could be wrong).

Once in awhile, I find something at Old Navy. I tend toward ON more for lounging clothes. I feel like everything I buy there fits in a weird, baggy way.

Sometimes, I will get a good clothing purchase from Amazon. I find it a little difficult because sometimes a brand-specific size chart isn't available (on Amazon or elsewhere), which is annoying.

Macys
Ann Taylor
Loft

You posted about Closet Candy for another question and I took a look and everything is adorable - how is the sizing?

True to size. For each item it will state- runs true to size, runs slightly oversized, runs slightly fitted.

I thought it would be like Junior sizing so i sized up on a long sleeve tee even though it said true to size. I shouldn't have- it was a bit big.

So definitely follow what they say

I have ordered from Modern Vintage and I'm convinced that it is the same company as Candy Closet! Similar stuff and I swear one of the models is the same person Chat Icon

I think Modern Vintage might be a little "younger" but they have a few cute things - worth checking out. I got a sweater and two bralettes there.

Net-a-porter.com
Outnet.com
Zappos.com
Shopbop.com

Those are my go-tos because they tend to have fast shipping (2 day), make returns easy and do quick refunds.

I will use online retailers like
Nordstrom.com
Saks.com
NeimanMarcus.com
BergdorfGoodman.com

but their systems bite. They take a long time to ship items out, are horrible about inventory and take a while to refund.

shiiiiiit, i've just spent the last 45 min browsing around on here. I'm going to take a chance and order some stuff even though i'm somewhat doubtful that it will look good on me (i hover around a 14/16 and some of this stuff will look horrible on me, but i have to try at least!)
The model and clothing reminds me of Venus a lot!
