I love ideeli, the deal site where you get designer clothes and accessories for way less than in the stores. Each “event” (sale) lasts 40 hours (I believe) so there’s limited time and limited inventory to snag. You have to be a member to see the sales and such, however it’s free – sign up here.
In the past, I only could browse the pretty jewelry or accessories at ideeli, but never the clothes. Recently, however, ideeli has had several “Plus Size Perfection” sales featuring some of my favorite plus size designers, as well as some I had never heard of before. Last week, they had a Plus Size Perfection sale where me and my wallet bravely entered the wonderful online universe and left just slightly worse for wear. At one point my shopping cart was over $600, but I swiftly edited it down (significantly!) to pieces I knew I’d get a lot of use out of. I ended up with 1 dress from Tiana B., 1 dress from Kiyonna, 1 pair of Calvin Klein jeans, and a tank and vest from XCVI.
Here’s a BLURRY photo of me and my new Tiana B. dress, which seriously is the most fun piece of clothing in my wardrobe right now. I got SO MANY compliments on it and I swear wearing it made me feel like a superhero. Or as superhero as I could be at work today. (Don’t mind the hair, it was a HOT MESS today) Best $39 I’ve spent in a LONG time.
Paired with Fitzwell Vanessa III Camel Patent flats from Zappos (Ankle still bothering me from half marathon, so I’m still in flats. Pair with some platform sandals or open toed pumps? DIE!)
That is freaking gorgeous. Does it come in minus sizes? Because I want one so bad.
I love that you said “minus sizes” LOL. Actually, Ideeli is having a “minus size” sale of the same designer right now, but I think it ends soon. There’s one called the double border paisley dress that is the same cut, but a different pattern (which I LOVE). You have to be logged in, but here’s the link: http://www.ideeli.com/events/52686/offers/1788370/latest_view/1188623
I signed up on Ideeli. And already want about $200 worth of Betsey Johnson Jewlery, not to mention the handbag I want.
How often do they have the Plus Size Perfection sales???
Lately they’ve been having them about once a month, i believe.
Love! Now I wish I had one. You’re too cute!
You look so awesome in all your dresses!!! I love your style. I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
Question:
I can’t seem to wear dresses because I naturally tend to sit with my knees far apart. I don’t think looking at someone’s underwear at work is very interesting. Is this my personal problem or is there some tips you might share. My body porportions are a big round apple, and a dress looks better just about the knee. This makes my natural sitting posture more of a problem. Any advise?
I’d never heard of Ideeli before reading your post. Will have to check that out. As for sales, I love scouring the pages of ebay for the occasional find. I’ve managed to get a few nice deals out of it, including two Eileen Fisher cardigans that I simply adore.
