Whether you find yourself with the bunch of practically new clothes your kid had outgrown in a nanosecond or wondering where to get clothes for the next couple of weeks when your boy is on a growth spurt, loobalee.com is your Wonderland!
Imagine the mini E-bay for kids' clothes only but without outrageous ever growing insertion and final sale fees! Moms, boutiques, stores, manufacturers with overstock… as long as you have kids' clothes you are welcome to hang out here selling and buying.
On LoobaLee.com, you can list an unlimited number of kids' clothing items for sale for one low, flat-rate fee. Selling fees are based on a very simple subscription approach: list as many items as you want for just $2.50 - $3.99 per month. There are absolutely no additional charges! You won't find any end of sale commissions, insertion fees, re-listing fees, add-ons, or premiums here!
As seasoned E-Bayer left with a measly amount courtesy of E-Bay and PayPal's careful trimming and clipping that kept me wondering whether it was worth all the trouble I can tell you this is a REAL DEAL!
Shopping is also easy on LoobaLee.com and if you join as a Member you get even more love:
• A 3 Hour Cart "Hold" (vs. 30 minutes for guests)
• A Watch List
• Option to Save Favorite Searches & Favorite Sellers
• On-line tracking & management of all purchases
I always look for solutions online when I am stuck with a challenge on my hands. I was looking for alternative to E-Bay when I didn't manage to sell anything but still had to pay insertion fees not to mention the time I spent describing and posting my items. This is how I came across this site and I am positive it's worth sharing it with you, my dear fellow budget stylistas. Try this online marketplace and share with us your experience.
Another online venue designed to solve the problem of unused and unwanted clothes is ThredUp.com which allows you to trade in the items in your closet that you just don't wear anymore for something that catches your eye from someone else's virtual closet. Like a giant online thrift store, you post the items you want to trade (or sell), and ThredUp will send you suggestions from other members on items you might like. If it's a fit, just send away your clothes in a pre-paid envelope, and get your new items in a few days.
The only catch is that you must use prepaid ThredUp envelopes ($25 for three) to send in your old clothes. The site doesn't use pictures and you don't know exactly what you'll be getting; it's more like a clothing lottery, which might sound like a whole lot of fun but raises some questions. You don't get to choose your items; basically you are going to end up with some mystery stuff minus 25 bucks. Now they've announced upcoming launch of ThredUp Kids, which will let you swap gently, almost new or brand new kids clothes with other parents. We've been all waiting for the efficient, affordably and mutually beneficial solution for our kids' unused clothes (unless you have lines of relatives waiting for your hand dawns, like I do) but I personally don't see this site rising to the occasion. Well, we shall wait and see, sticking to Ebay or LoobaLee in a meantime.
Good morning, my fellow budget stylistas. The only thing better than a
wonderful weather is the jeans sale at 77kids. Now, listen to that...
ALL jeans are $14.50 down from $34.50! Sweet! And to make the deal even
sweeter,they threw in a free shipping if you buy 2 or more pairs! Hurry
up! They are flying off the shelves.
The stores are on fire! The inventories need to be moved to make room for Spring Collection; the shareholders need to be pleased with sales and profit figures; the customers need to get motivated. Gymboree is one of the Titans that hold the children's clothing world on their mighty shoulders, so it definitely deserves our undivided attention. Let's dig through the virtual sales racks:
You know I am a sucker for the sailor chic. This Compass Stripe Double Sleeve Tee looks like it's been touched by the gentle, fragrant Mediterranean breeze. Pair it with white jeans or shorts and sneaker slip-ons for the effortless "strolling down the marina" chic. $12.99
Continuing the sea theme these Ship tees take less relaxed approach stating firmly that this little man is indeed needs to be taken seriously. Get short sleeve or double sleeve version for your little buccaneer. $11.49 - $12.99
Very cool Stripe Dress Shirt. You dress it down, you can dress it up. Pair it with the edgy grey skinny jeans from HTG81 or groovy orange jeans from GAP, throw on laid back cardigan and finish it off with combat or cowboy boots. The boho look is ready! $14.99
Buffalo Plaid Shirt. Plaid is totally rad. Plaid would never go out of style, especially this scruffy chic one. Muted color palette ensures the versatility. $14.99
Well, you do need classic pants in your boy's closet. These dandy Grey Herringbone Pants have very distinctive English gentleman's flair. Pair with just about anything if you are tired of a classic look; Pair with classic striped shirt above to satisfy the strictest MIL in this hemisphere with an eagle eye for imperfections. $17.99
Pirate Bee Rubber Boots! The Solemn nature of pirate business just got some cheerful black and yellow stripy edge. Puddles, be very afraid! $23.49
Cowboy Boots. The Man is not complete without this eternal symbol of manhood and uncrushable frontier spirit. The boy will look so adorable he would light up a storm of smiles, when you send him out tucking his jeans into these cool take on a cowboy staple. Please, avoid a gleeful overdose of Western gear, like plaid shirt, vest on so on. This is too costumy, as Tim Gunn would point out.
$19.99
How adorable, sweet, cute and … dangerous! Carrrrramba! Pirate Stripe Hat. Keep warm in style.
$11.49
All right, all right… It's a Gymboree Sales review, but this groovy plaid shirt with easy roll-up and down sleeves is so decisively cool, I had to include it here. $17.99
Don't forget to check out GAP's Spring Collection, which I will be reviewing shortly. There are some awesome pieces begging to be included in the stylish dude's wardrobe. In a meantime you can use introductory 25% discount on GAP's new collection entering code GAP25 at online checkout. Good luck!
