I'm not a huge online shopper. If I had a choice between adding items to my cart or going in store? I'd choose a visit to the store eight times out of ten. But there's been a shopping site I've been dying to try. It's Wish. You've probably heard of them. They sell clothes, shoes, accessories and pretty much everything at an affordable price. And when I say affordable, some items are a few bucks and others are even free. Yes, free!But of course there's a catch. While the clothes are cheap, you have to pay for shipping for each individual item {versus one shipping rate for an entire order}. Also, the quality is a crap shoot.So, I figured why not? Let me give it a shot, right? It's time for another What's In Store feature. Here's what I found on Wish, plus a few tips.Looking Fly on a Dime: striped culotte jumpsuit

The fashion gods have answered our prayers: TJ Maxx has finally launched an e-commerce site. The affordable chain was once only for those lucky enough to have a store in their area, but now, every budget lover can get her hands on affordable fashion and discounted designer finds.Check out a few of my favorite fall pieces below and why shopping online might be a better experience than visiting the actual store.

selling on threadflip, online consignment

I first learned about Threadflip last year when I wrote a piece for The New York Times on them as well as other online consignment sites.
Threadflip has a premium White Glove Service where the company professionally photographs your clothes and accessories before listing them on the site to be sold. But their peer-to-peer service is where it's at if you want to unload your fly threads you no longer wear or score some new-to-you pieces at highly discounted prices.
And now, the site has been revamped so the process is even easier.

I love the joy of thrifting. It's not just the idea of adding a new piece to my closet but I actually like digging through bins and racks to discover a cheap, unique treasure. However, I understand not everyone shares that feeling. Some people just don't have the patience or time for it. Luckily, a few thrift and vintage stores let you shop online. Yup, you can score secondhand clothing and accessories from the comfort of your living room.

I briefly mentioned online thrift shopping as an option if you don't have any great stores in your area, but I decided to expand on it. Below are a few options to shopping thrift and vintage online.ShopHousingWorks.com Though Housing Works is based in New York City, their website let's you shop from anywhere. If you're specifically looking for higher end designers {Chloé, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg}, this is the site to check out for chic coats, dresses and more. You can buy items or bid on them eBay style.
