HOW TO SHOP ONLINE BOUTIQUES

Most of our pieces in our closets are from boutiques across the world. With the Internet, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram giving us direct access to discovering these beautiful and unique shops- I have completely lost interest in the every day, ordinary shops. The different shapes and ways that art is utilized in clothing is such an inspiration! It is super unique and usually means it is coming from around the world. Here are some helpful tips to make online (and overseas) shopping easier.

1. Follow the brands you like on social media outlets to access exclusive flash sales they may post

2. Utilize their “retail locator” section on their website, they’re may be a store in your country or area that already carries the brand

3. Find a local friend to combine a purchase with so that you can save on shipping costs

4. Read their return and exchange policies thoroughly.

5. If you are worried about the size or fit contact the company before ordering to clarify. If you are still in doubt order the larger size. That way there is room for growth and you have options to roll the pants or sleeves to fake the fit. Versus if it is too small there isn’t much you can do and it may be to expensive to ship back.

6. Always make sure it is a secure site when you go to make your credit card payment.

7. If you are on social media:: For Instagram users a great way to see the pieces in action or finding someone who may know about the fit is searching the brand name under a hashtag “#”. For Facebook users a great way is to go to the brand’s page and post a question on it, you may be lucky enough to get a response from someone who has the item.
