Poll: Return Policy

By -
I'm a returner. I buy things I'm unsure about, take them home, see how they look with the clothes I imagined them with. I never take tags off or wear them out, but I have to think about most things before I'm sure I want to keep them. I used to leave things in the store to see if I remembered them later, but I lost too many good deals to my indecisiveness. If an item cannot be returned, I have to spend eternity in a store thinking about it. I probably return half of what I buy. However, I never waste money on items I don't like or that don't quite work. Do you return stuff?

Bonus Question: Do you return more or less when you shop with friends?

I only recall returning things I bought online (Target) because they didn't fit correctly. I prefer to stalk an item in the store. If it's gone before I buy it, it wasn't meant to be.

I usually return more of the thngs I buy online, but I have no qualms about purchasing and returning.

My significant other gives me a lot of teasing for the amount of things I return. I stood in F21 for almost 20 minutes last week agonizing over a dress because of their crappy return policy and my low funds. Especially when it comes to online purchases- I'd say I return about half of what I order.

If I buy something and it doesn't quite fit, but it's close, I'll take the sewing machine to it. Especially because I have a large bust and tiny waist and NOBODY makes clothes that fit me off the rack. I've taken to buying size 18 womens button-downs because they close around my chest and sewing darts into the front and back to make them fit me. I am quickly becoming a pro at this! So "fit" is very relative to me. If I like an item and the price is right, I'll MAKE it fit.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

Meet your new favorite simple summer dress

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
