Fashion, feature, Jayne 7:29 PM
Lets talk fashion for the everyday woman wanting to be stylish and have all the luxury of a Manhattan socialite. With many designers making fashion more affordable for the every day gal and websites having more sales on the designer brands we love where could a girl go wrong! Since, credit card debt isn’t sexy I found the savviest ways to save when purchasing the brands we love.
1.
NORDSTROM RACK: When you hear the word NORDSTROM you think leading department store for the higher bracket income level and one of the top 10 companies to work for, but many people never hear about Nordstrom Rack. Nordstrom Rack is Nordstrom’s store where they have discounted items from NORDSTROM sent and a buyer selecting specific merchandise for their store to carry. So, if you love all the great brands from Vince, Theory, Trina Turk,Elizabeth & James, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and even Burberry this is the place to shop. Also, when they have sales they go all out with discounts anywhere from 35%-70% off already great prices.
2. RueLaLa.com : RueLaLa is a website offering discounted prices on specific brands every few days. Right now they are spotlighting Halston Heritage, Tom Ford, Joan & David, Free People, and more. Each day they have a new sale posted that last a certain amount of days. Some of the Halston Heritage dresses are actually $200! less than their original price! Also, its easy to sign up and once you get other friends to sign up and purchase something you get $10 off your next purchase.
3. PiperLime.com : Another great website for those ready to invest in great pieces without breaking the bank. Online shopping at it's best with almost every brand you can think of like 7 for All Mankind Jeans, Betsey Johnson, L.A.M.B., and See by Chloe there is a style for everyone offered here. Plus! On any purchase you receive free shipping and if you find the size wasn't right or realize the purchase was too much of an impulse by return shipping is also free! Fast delivery and a wide selection piperlime.com gets my stamp of approval.
4. Target: the store best known around the suburbs has created a spark when they first launched designer’s creating clothing lines for a smaller price point at their stores. To name a few designers that have made special designs for target: Rodarte, Zac Posen, William Rast, and Paul & Joe. This spring Target has announced bringing back the favorite designs from each designer’s Target collection to sell again starting March 13th! Guess this means there will be more items than just my spring break essentials I will be picking up at Target this month.
5. RenttheRunway.com: Fancy wedding to attend this month? Cocktail dinner with the boss or company? Invited to a special event this year? Well, then RenttheRunway.com is the perfect website for you. Signing up with your email address is easy and once your in you can check out all the luxury designer dresses available to you. Rental prices for these amazing cocktail dresses and gowns range from $50- $200+. For example there is the D&G by Dolce & Gabbana, "Leopard Looker Dress," to rent for $75 that retails at $625 originally. If you want to go more upscale say red carpet style you could rent a gown by Doo. Ri , "Ravishing Remi Gown," for $250 that retails at $1,995 originally. The best part is that when you order the dress they will send two sizes incase you aren't sure what you will need. Besides the glitzy cocktail dresses & Hollywood glamour gowns be sure to check out the beautiful jewelry available to rent as well.
Hope these great five places to shop for less inspire you to glitz up your wardrobe and have fun not breaking the bank while doing it. As the great movie star and fashion icon, Audrey Hepburn once said, “My look is attainable. Women can look like Audrey Hepburn by buying the large sunglasses and the little sleeveless dress.” Take Audrey's advice and find your style at the budget you desire!
