While you may be eagerly anticipating the release of Sex & the City The Movie 2, if you’re like me, you won’t be looking forward to Carrie flaunting her Louboutins in front of my Nine West-clad feet. Well, thanks to the advent of several websites, you can get Carrie’s designer looks for less. While we don’t advocate spending all of your hard-earned dough on these designer duds, the following websites can be excellent outlets for finding that dress that no one will have, that bag I never thought I’d own or those shoes I will have forever!
These private designer sample samples are open for a limited time only so that “members” can purchase clothes, accessories, home goods and more at ridiculously discounted prices. I’ve purchased from both sites successfully and found both to have terrific customer service if I encountered a problem. The best part? You get rewarded for inviting friends who shop on the sites – basically free money to spend on these swanky, stylish labels. Visit the sites and register to request a membership and start monitoring the great deals right away!
You may remember this (not so subtle) product placement in the first Sex and the City Movie, when Carrie’s assistant, played by Jennifer Hudson, poses the very reasonable question, “why spend a fortune on a Louis Vuitton that will be out of season in a month when you can rent one?” Now, that’s the attitude of a Reformed Shopaholic! The members-only website boasts the largest collection of handbags, accessories and jewelry worldwide, online that you can borrow at prices more manageable on an assistant’s salary.
If your closet is chock full of clothes that you never wear, or that still have labels, thredUP provides a great way to say “out with the old and in with the new!” The much hyped about service facilitates the peer-to-peer exchange of new or barely worn cloths for a minimal cost. A great way freshen your wardrobe and practice fiscal responsibility at the same time.
