What are the advantages of shopping for clothes online?
I think the biggest advantage for shopping for clothes online is that when you're not in a major city, where you're going to have those more trendy pieces or more availability, go online, and at the click of a button you can get anything you want.
What are the disadvantages of shopping for clothes online?
The biggest disadvantage of shopping online is not probably, but definitely you're not trying it on, you don't see the piece to actually know what it looks like. Maybe it's one thing on the Internet but when you get it at home it doesn't fit, its the wrong color or weird off color, cranberry might look purple. Whatever the case may be, you don't know what it looks like. So make sure that when you are shopping that you go to sites that have a liberal return policy.
What should I be aware of when shopping online?
When shopping online, you should be most aware of what people are selling, and if it's a secure site. You're giving them your money, so you want to make sure that the shipping is affordable and that the clothing is of good quality or the items are of good quality. The return policy is important, and maybe even strike up a personal relationship with the person you're buying from so that when you fork over your credit card number or your cash, that you're not getting gypped.
What are some websites where I can find clothes on a budget?
My favorite fashion blogs or website stops are of course the budgetfashioniesta, and I love About.com and also iVillage. When I'm buying clothes I love to go to overstock.com, bluefly.com, and my favorite, eBay.
What are good tips when buying clothes from an auction website?
I think the most important thing, in shopping online, is you really need to look for the feedback, because when you look for the feedback you'll be able to tell if the person is trustworthy, of what quality are the clothes they are selling. Feedback is so important when buying clothes from an auction website, user reviews are so important, and of course, maybe put in the search engine what exactly you are looking for because it's in that, that you'll be able to find exactly what you're looking for.
