ONLINE SHOPPING GUIDE | LUCKY FOR YOU I WAS BORN TO SHOP

I can be your online shopping guide. Born to shop. No matter where I go, shopping has always been my superpower. The way we all shop now has changed, and we find the most online. These are the secrets to online shopping success.

First, you have to have an idea of WHAT LOOKS BEST ON YOUR BODY. One of the biggest mistakes we make online is deciding on something for us based on how good it looks on someone else. Try to look at details like color, proportion, construction, and silhouette instead.

Look how much shorter the same jeans are on the model than on me at 5’4″.

BEST JEANS

Since all bodies aren’t the same, the best way to know if a pair of jeans will fit you is to know your numbers, or measurements. Check out my DENIM DIRECTORY for more details.

Stores like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bloomingdale’s share all the measurements and offer free shipping and free returns.

If you want to cut to the chase these styles are my best sellers and come in a variety of washes. Most are a flattering mid rise and ankle length. I’m 5’4″ and wear a 26, but sized down in FRAME and up in MOTHER.

PAIGE | CINDY

FRAME | STRAIGHT LEG

MOTHER | INSIDER CROP

SHOE-IN

You can play it safe by shopping for shoes online from brands that you’ve worn before. These brands are my go to for style, price, fit, and quality. I linked all of their sites for future reference, and highlighted my 4 favorite styles.

TOP TOPS ONLINE

Adding a fun new top to your wardrobe is a fast way to a whole new outfit. ASTR , VERA MODA, ENDLESS ROSE, AVEC LES FILLES, and AQUA are some of thee best budget brands that offer great styles on trend.

Bonus Tip -Make sure you look at all the color choices so you can pick the one that looks the most expensive. At these prices, they aren’t all created equal. For example the top I’m wearing comes in a darker color combination, but the lighter looks more expensive.

This top looks like so much more than $59 in the neutral animal print or solid black, verses the gingham.

T-SHIRTS

This V-neck from FRAME is phenomenal. Its been mercerized, so it glides on and doesn’t cling. You can’t beat the price on Madewell Tees. Their wisper cotton V-neck without a pocket is perfect.

A crew neck T-shirt will always be a staple in our wardrobes. My Nordstrom 6 girlfriends swear by this crewneck ATM T-shirt. James Perse is a personal favorite of mine. I found it here in stock and 53% off.

Graphic Tees add print and personality. Splurge on styles from ANINE BING. Styles from DAYDREAMER will add to your arsenal too.

BAGS AND BELTS ONLINE

In this catergory you want to look at the images on the models. Even though most are taller than us, the photos on the models will give you a much better idea of the item’s size and scale.
