Every now and again, I feel guilty because my thoughts are so self-centered. Like on Tuesdays, when I’m supposed to be thinking of teen clothing. Says who? Well, says me. I like routine.
And my routine for Mondays is to hit Value Village first thing in the morning, usually accompanied by one or more teens. This week I tried on a jacket by Charlotte Russe. (Although it was a nice cotton/spandex fabric, great fit, and super cute styling, I didn’t buy it because is wasn’t one of my colors.)
Anyway, because we agree that online shopping is a frugal move these days (did I tell you I figured out a round trip to Walmart costs me $5 in gas?), I wanted to link you to Charlotte Russe.
Because now not only is online shopping frugal, it’s social with Charlotte Russe’s Shop Together application. Plus, if you buy something through my link, they’ll pay me for it! 🙂
Make your next visit interactive. Visit the Fashion Lounge at Charlotte Russe and check out what’s new. (And play with their outfit builder, which is where I got the picture of the safari dress over the bermuda shorts.)
Related thought that I don’t have a use for myself (yet): Teen-focused retailers are increasingly promoting new lines by selling them in Second Life (or similar venues) before putting the physical clothes on the racks.
I kind of wish lines for grown women were more creative in letting us play with the clothes before we have to hit the stores… *sigh*
I’ve never even heard of Second Life before! I had better not even sniff around, though, because what I’ve seen so far looks like fun, and a positive waste of time. Or maybe not?
I agree with you. It’s always been sort of a dream of mine to have a true to life paper doll or something like that. 🙂 You never know, I am taking up watercolors this fall.
okay, I sniffed around a little bit. I’m fascinated! I should have realized there was something like that. Are you there? 🙂
THe outfit builder isn’t exclusively theirs. It’s basically a link from polyvore.com, which has way more clothes and backgrounds and awesome stuff other people made to look at.
