Women’s Clothing on Ebay

My favorite place to shop for women’s clothing is Ebay. I love clothes – lots of them. I love designer clothes, but my budget can’t always accommodate my taste. On Ebay, the quality is high and the price is right. I buy shoes (new, in box) for 80% off retail from brands such as Cole Haan and Born. I found a hand knit Ralph Lauren Collection Indian blanket sweater for $150. A Harari outfit for $75, with the tags still on. I buy my favorite Seven for All Mankind jeans for $50, not $150. Although most vendors do not accept returns, they will often email you their original photo of the item you bought. If it doesn’t fit, I just resell it!

Lord & Taylor

I have fantastic luck at Lord & Taylor. Really, their markdowns are substantial and I have gotten designer items at less than I could get anything at Wal-Mart. They have a semi-annual sale in the spring and fall, and if you get an additional markdown by mail, it is amazing. This is not cheap merchandise, it is high-quality, and in some cases, designer clothes. I see a lot of other working women like me there, looking for work wardrobes.

The last time I was there, I got a pale blue Philosophy blouse marked from $89 for less than $7. I know people don’t think of L&T as a bargain house, but if you go at the right time and get on their mailing list, it can be.
