Stock Your Spring Wardrobe Without Emptying Your Wallet

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

Do you have an online shopping addiction? Do you find yourself spending all of your money at online stores? Have no fear, this guilty pleasure can be safely satisfied with bargain-shopping apps and websites.

The Gilt website/app features designers from Hermes to Dolce Vita – you can find everything from running shoes to prom dresses. Every day at 12 pm, you can scavenge through new sales and save big. But make sure you hurry – items that are popular sell out quickly! These sales are incredible: you can save hundreds on designer shoes, almost 50% on denim, and so much more! Don’t believe me? I snagged a pair of Rich & Skinny petunia-colored jeans for only $79 (originally $154), allowing me to start stocking my spring wardrobe without emptying my wallet.

The website’s benefits don’t stop at clothes, shoes, and accessories –  you can also find discounts for hotels and activities in major cities. So next time you want to venture outside of Lewisburg, to say, New York City, check out Gilt’s coupons for restaurants and spas. Who wouldn’t want to save 50% on a luxury spa treatment and savory brunch in the heart of Manhattan? The Gilt app can save you money in various aspects of life —  try it out and start saving!

HauteLook, a Nordstrom Company, has similar steals that will allow you find amazing looks for spring. HauteLook categorizes events so that you can get exactly what you’re looking for, fast. For example, there’s Boot Up, where you can find fabulous ankle booties, knee highs, over-the-knee boots to get you through the rest of the winter here at Bucknell, and a Time For Spring section that has an incredible selection of shoes to wear on your resort trip over spring break.

Gilt and HauteLook will satisfy your cravings for big designer brands, but Etsy is a cool place to look for homemade and smaller label treasures. When you are looking for a statement necklace or a simple pair of pearl earrings, Etsy is the way to go. You’ll also find neat gift ideas when you’re stuck and can’t come up with anything. The best part is – a lot of the stuff is one-of-a-kind, and the prices are often very reasonable.

You don’t have to break the bank next time you set out to restock your wardrobe. These sites will give you some great prices on some fantastic products. Let out your inner online shop-aholic and take some time to download the Gilt app, sign up at HauteLook, and check out Etsy! Guilt free!
