I have a shopping problem. I’m not afraid to admit it. Once I get going it’s kind of hard to stop me, especially shopping of the internet variety. There are so many good deals out there! Promo codes, free shipping and my new favorite…wholesale sites.

My wardrobe is pretty basic, well clothing-wise at least, let’s not get started on bags and shoes… I’m a jeans and tee shirt kind of girl. Throw in some tanks for layering, a cardigan, a pair of flats and I’m ready to go. I find American Apparel is the best for basics. It’s good quality stuff (let’s just forget about how skeezy their CEO guy is, for a sec) and I don’t mind paying for quality, but sometimes $17 a pop for a tee can hurt your cute little pocketbook.

In comes my newest internet find: Trendy Blanks.

An American Apparel wholesale site. They don’t have EVERYTHING offered in stores but they do have a nice selection.

I just bought 6 tees, 3 scarves, 6 tanks, 1 pair of leggings (for under jeans in winter or dresses with boots. Fuck that leggings as pants noise, I am NOT down with that) and 2 tunics. I paid $104 for all of that. If I had bought that from AA, it would have been around $350. Craziness.

Even with this site, I know I will still frequent the American Apparel store. They have tons of cute stuff. Salt and Pepper hoodie and Interlock Wrap Dress, I’m looking at you next.

But seriously? AA on the cheap, man. Time to bust out your Visa.

P.S. On the bags and shoes note, currently wanting: Marc Jacobs Dr Q Groovee and Michael Kors Gillian Flat

Living here in the “Windy City”, I barely get a break between seasons. Last week it was almost 90 and today it’s probably 60ish degrees. What happened to fall?! By Halloween, I will probably have snow!

Since it will get cold soon, I had to buy a winter coat. I found the perfect one of Bluefly. It’s a Kenneth Cole Reaction wool coat. I lovelovelove the funnel neck.

I’m ready for winter! How about you?
