Since coming to college I have developed a great love for online shopping (or at least pretending to put things in my cart to only take them out). And I have developed some favorite websites. These sites not only have affordable clothing but it also tends to ship out quite quick.

1. Lulu’s

Lulu’s is one of my favorite stores ever. It is an online only store but it’s trustworthy and they offer free returns on most items. I bought both my prom dresses from here and they were much more affordable than many of my friends and I knew they would be unique. Since then I have bought dresses, shirts, jeans and sunglasses and I am still obsessed with them. They do free shipping over $50 or $5 standard shipping. They have a range from basics to high end as well as great sales. I rarely pay full price for clothes from here.

2. American Eagle

I never shopped here in high school so it has become my college wardrobe. Between their quick standard shipping (that is usually very reasonable or free over $50) and their constant sales I am obsessed. I also switched from Pink underwear to theirs because for half the cost I can get something just as comfortable if not more, I also think they have better colors and designs. Beyond underwear though they have amazing clothes. I especially love all their Aerie stuff.

3. Urban Outfitters

While this is the store I wish I could buy my whole life from it’s not. I go here to get inspiration and then shop other stores to find something similar. Although I love their bralettes. I have this rule that I refuse to spend over $20 on a bralette and they have a great selection of bralettes under $20. It also never hurts to look through their sale section to see if they have anything. Especially between seasons they have great markdowns.

4. Forever 21

A store I never thought I would like but yet it never fails me. I have bought one of my favorite pairs of shorts here for only $2. While it’s a store that’s overwhelming both in person and online, as long as you know what you are looking for it is not bad. It’s also quite affordable, especially for buying basics that you don’t want to spend a ton of money on.

5. Target

The store that never fails. Target has it all and if you have yet to see their spring stuff consider yourself lucky because that means you will save yourself a lot of money. They have everything you could possibly need and they have it for you convienently. It might not be brand name but you will be happy with it at the end of the day. And their easy to shop online with too. Whether you need a cute purse, some shoes or a shirt they have you covered. Also their swimsuits are extra cute this year and I am so thankful that I need a new one.
