After checking out the websites on this list, you'll have items in your cart quicker than you can say "RIP wallet."
1. Tobi
This is by far my favorite online store to shop from. It’s hard to resist the
lure of a whopping 50 percent off your entire order when you first sign up, combined
with free shipping and returns on all orders. Tobi frequently has “50 percent off your
entire order” sales, and you can get 50 percent off if you invite five of your friends
to sign up, too. This site is addicting with its clothing that ranges from hot
going out dresses to comfy cute lounge-wear, so be careful or you’ll end up
spending $515 in no time (not like I know from personal experience…).
2. Lulus
Lulus is my second favorite online shopping store. It’s similar to Tobi, minus
the free shipping and killer initial sign up discount. However, you still can get
10 percent off of any order when you subscribe to their email list and free shipping
on orders over $50. This site sells a variety of cute clothing, shoes,and
accessories, perfect for girls in their 20s.
3. Piperlime
This online retail store was founded by the same people who created Gap, but this ain’t yo mama’s clothing. Piperlime is like Gap’s chic older sister with much a trendier and preppy style. It’s a bit pricier than other online stores on this list, but it has great sales, making the clothes and shoes more affordable. You’ll also get 30 percent off one item when you first sign up.
4. Fabletics
Kate Hudson co-founded this website that sells stylish athletic wear at an
affordable price. When you first sign up for Fabletics you can take a quick
lifestyle quiz that picks out which types of workout clothes will best suit
you. If you sign up for the free VIP program, you can get an entire outfit
(tights, top, and sports bra) for just $25! Spending that much money at
Lululemon would probably only get you enough material to cover one thigh.
Another bonus from Fabletics is shipping is free for your first order and free
for every order over $50 after.
5. ASOS
One thing
that sets ASOS apart from a lot of other online clothing websites is that it’s
based in the UK. It is the UK’s largest independent online fashion and beauty
retailer, so its huge variety of clothing, jewelry, and shoes all have a bit of
a unique European flair to them. This website offers free shipping on orders of
$25 or more and occasionally offers “students get 20 percent off” deals.
6. Nasty Gal
This site has some great dresses for sorority
and fraternity formals or for going out. Some of the clothing may not appeal to
everyone because it’s a bit more on the edgy/trendy/hipster side, but if that’s
what you’re into then shop away! You can get free shipping on orders of $75 or
more and free returns for store credit, otherwise there is a handling and
processing fee of $5.99 to refund your credit or debit card.
7. heels.com
This awesome online shoe store helps narrow your shoe search by giving you
categories like color, size, style, brand, and trend. Another benefit to this
site is it offers frequent sales, discounts, and free shipping and returns
depending on the week. You’ll also get 20 percent off your first order when you sign
up.
8. Gilt
Once you sign up and become a Gilt member you’ll have access to many top
designer labels like Kendra Scott, Kate Spade, and Hudson Jeans to name a few,
at up to 60 percent off retail price. Talk about a great deal.
9. Moddeals
Now I’ll admit, this isn’t the cutest of the online stores on the list so you
may have to search a little harder, but you absolutely cannot beat these
prices. The most expensive shoes are only $16 and the dresses average around
just $11! If you’re ballin’ on a budget and have some free time, look through
this site. It offers flat rate shipping for $6.99, and even though it’s not
free shipping, it’s still worth it because of how inexpensive everything is.
Online shopping tip: If you’ve made it to the end of this article without having quit reading yet in order to start shopping, I’ll let you in on a little secret. What a lot of people don’t realize about online shopping is that it is so easy to find a discount coupon online to save money. All you have to do is google search “coupon for” and the name of the store you’re shopping on and voila! Coupon websites will show up with discount and promotional codes for that store. All you need to do is enter that code during checkout and the discount will be applied to your order! It doesn’t work every time, but it’s definitely worth a shot. It has worked about 50 percent of the time for me and I’ve gotten discounts ranging from free shipping to 50 percent off my entire order.
Happy online shopping, ladies!
