Me, too! I didn't realize how much until I started cleaning out my closet to sell on smashion - I was amazed to see so many items in so many shades of red.

Then I turn around and buy a red dress. Go figure! : >

Whether a piece of clothing or an accessory, as long as it will add to your wardrobe, please share what you got today, where you found it and why you decided to purchase it. Do you think it is a good buy?

while searching for offers and deal i found a website called prodresser.com They have tops, skirts pants, outerwear and other accessories. They displaying products from all top retailers like nordstrom, 6pm, zappos, etc. The interesting part is that they are displaying prodcuts that have deals and offers from various websites.

Today i saw a skirt which has 71% off from nordstrom. planning to get :)

Even when all the stores have closed for the night, I resume my shopping online. Hehe, I love windowshopping and going through different items, even if I end up buying nothing.

The creation of this thread was inspired by the "I shop online. Do you?" topic. A lot of Smashionistas say that they shop online but I'd like to know what things you shop for mostly.

Oddly enough, I rarely buy clothes online. I don't really fit into the standard sizes so fitting clothes before buying is essential to me! I do buy shoes online though and I have also purchased a lot of books, gadgets and plane tickets.

What about you? What do you buy mostly online?

I love finding good deals over the internet, but I am extremely happy and pleased when I can get the best business opportunities available. Even though it might sound crazy, I love trying my luck and I love taking on a new challenge when it presents itself, so when I saw the prices on the bags-wholesale.net products found on this website, I knew that I was ready to make some profits. After some debates and negotiations, I was able to get an additional discount and thus I opened my own business with selling incredibly beautiful handbags for a very low price. If you are looking to get the best products you can find for the most amazing prices on the current market, then this website will present some of the most interesting options yet. Check out their offers and be convinced about the opportunity waiting for you.

Shopping Diary - How to wear a sheer nude blouse?

>>> Last post by benbri1 on 30-Aug-11 9:16 PM

You could try a nude, body-hugging camisole - it gives the illusion of bare without actually revealing anything and isn't bulky. Another option is a bikini top; they are usually made for no show-through and come in such a wide array of colors - one with gold shimmer would be beautiful under a sheer blouse, or perhaps one with pretty hardware details for hint of bling (not for work, of course!).

>>> First post by irislogic on 23-Aug-11 1:47 PM

I just bought a nude-colored sheer blouse similar to the one in the picture below.

My question is, what do I wear with it?

I want to try just wearing it with a bra but I don't know what else to wear with it so it doesn't look skanky.

Anyone got any ideas?

I love to shop. I find myself shopping online more often, it's just so convenient. I decided I wanted to buy a watch and came across the Fling by Speidel. I usually only wear fashion watches, but this one is a also a chronograph. I guess thats good if you are timing yourself running....which I have been meaning to do more often. Maybe this watch will motivate me! Anyway it comes in stainless and gold, I prefer stainless. I am going to attempt to upload a pic for all to see. http://www.speidel.com/default.cfm?PID=1.25&SFP_ID=45. When I get it, I'll add more pics. Feedback please!

Hmm, I've been to a few shopping meccas but I get overwhelmed at those places. Where I really enjoy shopping is at night markets, shopping streets and fairs. New York comes to mind; I love all those little shops and boutiques that pop up at every corner and have trinkets lining the walls from floor to ceiling. I could spend hours in those stores.

>>> First post by chun_hyang on 06-Jul-11 3:02 AM

I recently went on a trip with my friend to Singapore. It's truly a shopper's heaven! Nearly every train stop has a mall or department store attached to it, or at least one a few steps away. I think it's the most number of malls I've been to in a day.

I spent one whole afternoon at Orchard Road and I don't think I was able to cover the entire area. My favorite is Ngee Ann City because it has the bookstore Kinokuniya and this art store on the 4th floor, as well as Takashimaya Department Store. ION mall is also a great place.

What shopping places have you been to?

I think that having a look book is not just doing yourself a favour; it’s also a way of giving inspiration to others. How many times have you found yourself stumped while looking at your clothes, then you skim through someone else’s fashion blog and suddenly, you know what to wear? We look at others’ look books and we get inspired.

>>> First post by sandra on 26-Mar-10 12:17 PM

Do you have a look book? Do you cut out magazine pictures that give you ideas on what to wear? Do you have a compilation of any sort, pictures of clothes and accessories that you look at every so often to spruce up your daily fashion choices? :)

What are the items in your closet you’re “saving for later”? Do you have certain accessories and clothes you purchased in the past which you haven’t worn until now? Do you often buy clothes which you don’t need at the time but you buy them anyway because you just might need them?

Anyone love designer jeans but hate paying designer prices? Go to TJ Maxx! Not all, but some of the TJ Maxx stores carry a section called 'Off The Runway' where you can get designer jeans at a fraction of the price. I went with my roomates this weekend and got a pair of J Brand for just 60 bucks. They had everything from Sevens to Rock and Republic. Its a definite steal that I would recommend to everyone!

How adorable are these!

I don't think anyone can go wrong with a neutral suede pump. You can wear it in the office or on a night out. There are other lovely colors on the Nine West website too, including red suede.

If anyone's curious, the pumps used to be $89.00, so at $48.99, that's 45% savings!
