Free Money
For a limited time, Newport News (online women's clothing store--they have neat stuff) is selling their gift cards for 20% off. Here is the link to the sale page. They regularly run really awesome sales, too, so if you buy the card, then use the card to buy something on sale, you are gonna save a lot of money :D
I have bought most of my clothes recently from there, and have gotten a lot of compliments on many of the things I've gotten. A good example is this jacket that I wear all the time and I have gotten so many compliments and people asking where I got it. It's also one of the few places I've found that has jeans that fit my body shape (they're called "curvy jeans"). They also sell on Amazon (but not usually as good a sale price) and you can search for the stuff there and read any reviews. For example, I almost bought a shirt until I read something on an Amazon review saying that it wasn't fitted in the back and so it fit like a lab coat if you're curvy. From the way the model was in the photo, you couldn't tell that. There was also a sweater that I wasn't sure about until I read three five-star reviews about how well it fit and how soft it was..
Also, you can check out this site where people post the current coupon codes from the catalog if you don't receive it. You can generally find a discount code and/or a free shipping code.
So bottom line: find the clothes on NN, check for reviews on Amazon, buy at NN with discounted gift card and coupon codes. Yay!
At least as of today, you get 20% off with discount code 505 and free shipping with code L55. So if you buy the $100 gift card using the link above and both of these codes, you pay $64 total for the card. Then you get the card and you use the card to buy your clothes, using the discount codes again, and save even more. Woohoo!
