Amy’s Secret Shopping Tip (CCP)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.

From one woman to one woman, I have to share my fabulous shopping tips with you.

Emails can be very annoying, but sometimes your spam mail can be your best friend. When you subscribe to your favorite stores, they’ll tell you when there are new arrivals, but they also send you promo codes or updates on when the latest sales are. What a great friend, wanting you to look fabulous and helping you save on the green. Well, I want to introduce you to one of my best friends, Country Club Prep.

Country Club Prep is an online retailer of clothes that come from the preppy lifestyle, made easy for you to access and purchase, kind of like the Zappos of Prep. Living in Iowa, it’s kind of difficult to get access to some of my favorite brands, especially living the preppy life I lead. The access to Lilly Pulitzer, Vineyard Vines and Jack Rogers was extremely difficult in the past year. When I was searching retailers that sold these preppy brands, it was very limited. Then a result of Country Club Prep showed up, and my prayers were answered.

Here I am, sharing my love for prep to you. As I got to college, I was able to wear what I wanted without being judged for “looking like a grandma.” If I want to wear a vest, I will. Sorry my wardrobe doesn’t appeal to your taste, but this is my aesthetic. I’m also a student who tries to buy everything herself, and my wants don’t always match my wallet. So those emails with those promo codes, you’re welcome to come to my inbox. Without them, I wouldn’t be a Country Club Prep Ambassador with the access to promote the brands I love.

Give CCP a try, and you never know what you can find. With every purchase, you get free shipping and a free present. So put some prep in your step and don’t let cost stop you from looking good. Email Amy-Luong@UIowa.com for a special promo code (restrictions apply) and keep on the lookout for some freebies in your future.
