5 GAME-CHANGING Online Wardrobe Shopping Tips to Help You Shop Like a PRO!!!

[@sandycosentino1042]

I am 45 and let me tell you, I am so happy I found this channel. Your style tips are the best. I think you have a wonderful personality and your videos are great! You, in my opinion are the best fashion blogger out there 🙂

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you so much, Sandy! That's so sweet! xo

[@Bonnieerina]

I also never dry my clothes. It makes a huge difference-especially when you’re on a budget and need your pieces to last a long time. I love the tips about looking at the model’s sizes. I buy most of my items from Nordstrom Rack (perfect for your budget ladies) and they’re good about posting the model’s stats as well as details about the garment. If you use the app, the site remembers your sizes and will make suggestions. Lastly, I loved the tip on stocking up on basics during a sale. Another thing us gals can do is if there is a bigger ticket item on your needs list, you can look online during the off season and often find one heavily discounted. During quarantine I culled my closet and realized I needed updated coats/jackets. Because I like classics, I was able to find the absolute best pieces (from Nordstrom Rack and Nordstrom) that I’m so excited to wear when summer is over.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great tips, Bonnie! Not drying your clothes will definitely make them look better for longer! xo

[@maryokeefe5351]

Totally agree with you, Bobbie. I love high-end pieces and wait until they are about 70% off. They'll look just as good next year! Also love Saks Off Fifth.

[@Michellebellaa]

I litterally just came across your channel! I'm in the fashion industry as a store manager. I saw some of your fit tip videos. I would like to see other examples other than you and your size and shape. When you speak of "hiding the tummy "...... great on you but how about other women over 40 different shapes sizes.....live models side by side to show how it works differently for different people. I see in this picture you are specifically showing how to shop online and I understand......so lastly for the army of us who have retail careers. .....come on in! Keep your stores open! We are here to give you ideas and opinions, a less confusing experience......come in try it on and get amazing interactions y'all!

[@SarahAngelOchoa]

my thought when I watched the "how to hide your tummmy" video.. uhh what tummy, show me a person with a tummy that hangs, Its hard to listen/watch a skinny person "showing" us thicker /curvy women how to do anything

[@susanw620]

And this is how it’s done. Great video! This video and the one you did last week on how to make an outfit better were hands-on instructional on how to online shop and put outfits together. Thank you for getting up and showing us how to do it and not sitting at your kitchen table and just showing what you bought or telling us what was in style a year or two ago. I learned so much.

[@Clovergirl7934]

I can’t believe the high end items I find thrifting that are ruined because the owner washed and DRYED the item in a dryer instead of line dry or shaping it on a towel. It makes me crazy that people don’t know how to care for good clothing. I have had some pieces that I literally have had for years and always am asked where I got it. A beautiful well made sweater will last for years if well taken care of.

[@FourJaysFour]

Deborah Streb I was at Greene St this week and noticed the same thing. Lovely fabrics that have not been well cared for.

[@Sara-ow3fw]

I've watched a handful of your videos so maybe you've done this and I haven't seen it yet...but I'd love to learn more about fabrics. I keep a list of fabrics that pill (I check the tags when I'm folding laundry) but never know what to do when find something not my list! I never heard of some of the fabrics in this video. Thank you so much for your help keeping from being frumpy!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Great suggestion, Sara! xo

[@Matagalpa2200]

Thank you for the tips. I always check the reviews before buying something, not only clothes. I also check the size chart, but I had never thought about looking at the measurements of the model. That is really helpful.

[@BusbeeStyle]

It really is a game changer! I love looking at the model's measurements so I can better gage how an item will look on my more petite frame. xo

[@kristenmorrison7323]

This is super helpful! So many good tips for people new to online clothes shopping. Now, I need to go learn more about different fabrics... Thanks for always posting such great content!

[@anniebeemusicetc]

Erin, so glad I found your channel! I'll turn 60 in March, and I still have a closet full of stuff from my 40s. Need a serious post-menopausal redux. Your tips are soooooo helpful! Thank you, sister!!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're so welcome! I'm glad that you find my content helpful! xo

[@deirdrehoran]

Check the item closely in all of the colours in which it is available - different details show up in different colours (stitching, finish) and, they often use different models for different colours so you get a better idea of the shape/fit ... which leads me to another tip: they (should) put the model in the colour that works best with their colouring so, you can get an idea of which colour would work best for you.

[@brigittecarcagno4338]

I love your content especially dressing age appropriate. I took your advice and purchased the pants and a white blouse. I feel styled and new. You’ve heightened my style to another level. So appreciate your tips and you.

You are so welcome, Brigitte! I'm so happy that you find my videos helpful! xo

[@petiteapple9563]

Hi Erin - this was so helpful! I have fallen into every trap that mentioned in this video. The worst ia definitely getting sucked into the vortex and getting overwhelmed that I either end up purchasing items that end up collecting dust in my closet or I don't buy anything at all. The sites you mentioned are also so very helpful; I'm looking forward to checking them out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@belindahearn721]

Thanks so much for sharing this, I wanted to let you know that I bought a couple of elevated basics and building my wardrobe around them.When I was purchasing thought about the worksheets that you have given and felt that you would approve. I am in the process of ordering a few more and building my wardrobe from there. Thanks and see you in the next video... PS, this video is so helpful while I am shopping online.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad you are finding the handouts helpful, Belinda! xo

[@PahlaB]

Okay, so what you're really telling me is that I need to know my measurements, which I don't. LOL! No wonder I always feel lost when I shop online. :) This was super, super helpful, thank you!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Yes...it is so important when shopping online to know your measurements. I discuss how to do that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-no4mMpK2nd9k

[@JoyeSmith]

Awesome! I don’t comment every time but I watch all of your videos! Some of the very best content on KZbin. Thank you for all your hard work! Hugs, Joye

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you so much, Joye! xo

[@akamelrod8872]

I also curate my list by what I know flatters my body type...which I learned in another of your videos! For example I know v neck Tshirts look best on me (as a busty hourglass) so I filter by that so I don't have to wade through all the crew necks, boat necks, etc. Thanks for sharing your very useful insight with us!

[@BusbeeStyle]

So glad this was helpful! xo

[@katherynruiz1654]

Another site for saving money when online shopping that I have not heard you mention is Rakuten. When you download the site it runs like Honey and offers additional cash back discounts. For example, I was recently shopping the 50% off clearance at Intermix and Rakuten was offering an additional 10% my purchase. It is like free money. You will be surprised at how quickly the rebates add up. I just checked Verishop and today Rakuten is offering an additional 5% off your purchase.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

I love Rakuten too.

[@loisthompson5625]

Excellent video, very helpful! Love the black slacks and beautiful white blouse combo.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Lois! xo

[@jennlynn6208]

Because of you, I had started to read the descriptions of the products, but I never thought about the model's height in relation to the product. I'm a short like you and that is such a great key to point out. Thanks for the vids!

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're so welcome! I always want to know the model's height so I can better judge how things will look on my frame! xo

[@babycakes8434]

Great tips. Thank you Erin. Can someone recommend awesome garment steamer? I don't like ironing and I am looking to make my life easier.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I love this one if you are looking for a handheld/portable type: rstyle.me/+vXF7RS-x3sp_7iVVTgfoDA . This is a great well priced full size one: rstyle.me/+pApSr6gbhG3uxNiWi7prog

[@babycakes8434]

Fantastic. Thank you very much. I will buy the handheld version. Thank you for sharing Erin.

[@PracticalPip]

I LOVE the first dress on you! I am petite also and I try to look for model size too. I don't usually care about the height of the model, because I usually just add 3-4 inches in length and know it will just be longer, but I go by bust and waist to get best fit for myself. This site looks great! Heading over there now to check it out! Also, at thrift stores, I only buy things on my list of things I want that are either trending or are pieces I will want to wear in 10 years still. I try to find designer pieces at thrift stores mostly... buying cheap quality at thrift store defeats the purpose of building a forever wardrobe in my opinion. Sometimes I buy super large pieces and use the fabric to make new clothing for myself too.

[@PracticalPip]

I also love the way the black wide leg pants fit you also! The shell is also perfect for work too.

[@melanieandrews7832]

Great video loaded with helpful tips- thanks Erin!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Glad it was helpful, Melanie! xo

[@catherinegardner8407]

Wonderful information and sites I have never heard of. Thanks. Question, please. How big is your closet if you don't mind? Generally how long do you keep your pieces that aren't the staples and basics? Do you consign? I've watched you a long time and love your choices. Also, how many times do you wear a jacket with a cami before drycleaning? Many thanks, Erin.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad that this was helpful. My closet is not big, but I do keep a lot of clothing in my studio as well. I keep pieces until they are no longer being worn and then I generally give them away. As for Jackets...I only clean them when they appear dirty or are in need of a cleaning. I can usually wear them several times in between. I clean camis more frequently, but only when needed. xo

Erin, hello new subscriber and I pressed the bell for notification when you up load. I’m pretty new to the KZbin community. But, I’m learning everywhere I can. I absolutely love this video. I have been doing it all wrong, 5’ 2” so, of course I am very, very short. You look so pretty, I am not as petite as you, however as I see I am wearing outfits that are making me look even shorter, not looking that long lean look. Thank you Erin, this video is brilliant. I feel like going into my closet and make trip, after trip to the Salvation Army and start all over with a clean slate. Also, the shoes. I am in a little shock, I am doing the wrong left side every outfit! Shoes included. I am going to watch a lot of your previous videos, I bet I’ve missed plenty of ah ha moment. Ok, thank you Erin I’m excited for my new long leaner look. Warm regards, Collette,

I don’t buy “hand wash only” clothes but “dry cleaning only”, yes, because there’s a product in the US called Woolite At Home Dry Cleaner, pop it into the dryer 20 min, medium heat and up to 5 garments of similar fabrics and colors. It never failed me and works really well. I buy it at Walmart, should be easily found.

[@ashleys4652]

I have a question about that Woolite product, if you don't mind. Have you used it on silk shirts? I don't want my pretty silk shirts to lose that soft, silky, shiny feel. Thank you! 💜

[@DouceVipere]

Linda S It says in the box that’s safe to use on silk, rayon, cotton, cashmere, wool, nylon, linen, polyester, acetate and other synthetics. I never cleaned my pure silk blouses with it, but did silk pillowcases and silk blends shirts. It comes with detailed instructions too.

[@ashleys4652]

@@DouceVipere Thanks, Vicky!

[@maryokeefe5351]

@@ashleys4652 I find silk to be the one exception. You can really wreck the texture of a gorgeous blouse or dress. These are just about the only items I have dry cleaned now, and I am really picky about finding a cleaner who specializes in silk. Otherwise even a dry cleaner can ruin your blouse. Hope this helps.

[@ashleys4652]

@@maryokeefe5351 Hi Mary, it does help. Thanks. I have a cobalt blue silk blouse that is one of my favorite pieces and like you said, I don't want to wreck the silky texture. I will try the Woolite product for other dry clean items but not silks, not worth the risk. Thanks again!

Hi Erin, I absolutely love your channel and have learnt so much since I have subscribed to it. I feel more comfortable when shopping for clothes for my body shape and being trendy. In one of the programs, you mentioned about joints pain and discomfort, I also had the same problems (due to the side effects of medication that I am on) until I started taking Curcumin supplement from Amy Myers, MD. The results in my case were unbelievable, I no longer have discomfort or cracking sounds in my joints. Just wanted to share this with you.

Not sure if you would be interested in doing this, but I'd love a recommendation video for "action sandals" that aren't dorky? 😆 Something you can wear on uneven ground, grass, and not twist an ankle. Maybe even some stylish but practical clothing for the great outdoors in Summer? Agree with all you say here, I love the shopping sites that have the model's proportions, height, size she's wearing and supply a sizing chart. I even do the wash in cold, hang to dry. 😆 Thx for the great summary! 🌱

[@reginasemenenko148]

Erin, I wish there were an app like this one geared toward plus sizes. It doesn't seem like this site lists clothing above a size large or extra large. Although I'm trying to lose weight, I realize I have to dress for the body that I have today while I'm working on the body that I want. Unfortunately, I think too many designers believe that plus size women do not want to dress well or are not interested in producing clothing for the rest of us. This is soooooooooo frustrating because I'd like to look as good as I can.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I understand your frustration, Regina! The sizing varies by designer based on their offerings. xo

You need to try thredUp, and amazon.

Hi Erin, do you resell any of the clothing you no longer want? I fell in love with the Zhivago dress you have on your Paris video.. but first of all, it sold out, and secondly, I cannot afford its retail price. Hoping I could find it at some resale site.

[@lizcademy4809]

Another tip - some stores / websites ask for your birthday when you sign up for an account. It's always optional, but give them something close. Shops that do this will send you a discount code in your birth month. And these can be amazing discounts! I like some pieces by Eileen Fisher - not all, much is too baggy for my petite hourglass frame, but some. I signed up at my local store and my birthday discount was $50 off a purchase of $100 or more. I bought myself a pair of neutral wide leg trousers that look custom made for me. Next birthday I'll buy some basic tops ... their tops last forever.

Free returns are great, but it’s no substitute for in person shopping. Guess I’ll pay more attention to your guidelines!

Also regarding dry cleaning, if it says dry clean, from what I understand, that’s optional, you can also hand wash, but if it says dry clean ONLY then you’re stuck with the bill or you’re probably going to wreck your garment. I hand wash pretty much everything too. And jeans you need to wash only rarely, you can freeze them instead!

[@BusbeeStyle]

My best advice is to purchase from somewhere that has easy and free returns so that you can order two sizes if you are unsure. Some sites let you input your size in other brands and then calculate what size you will wear in theirs. This can also be helpful. Another idea is to read the product reviews (if available) to see if they run true to size. I hope this helps, Paula! xo

High End industries do not cater to average sizes. I am a 14. I have heard so many times over the years anything over a size 4 is considered a plus size. Average Americans are size 14. I buy cheap, such as Jcpenneys, Old Navy, Walmart, Target, Lane Bryant and Amazon. I wash and hang my clothes to dry. When my shirts start to peel, I have a machine that gets the peels off. I can not think of the name of it, but it is a life saver! Too many fast fashion out there. Quailty isn't what it use to be period.

Kat I am so so SO with you on this!!! I actually have the money to spend on high end clothing now but can’t because I’m now 50 pounds heavier than I used to be. I’m a size 14 sometimes 16 and can’t get anything that doesn’t look like granny clothes. Even some of the brands Erin loves, like her Moussy vintage jeans, just aren’t size inclusive. Frustrating!!!!

Can you do a detailed video on how to take all of your body measurements? This will help with online shopping unless you already have one can you link it?

[@BusbeeStyle]

Hi April...I have discussed how to take your measurements in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-no4mMpK2nd9k . It is so much easier to buy online once you have those measurements in hand. xo

[@aprilmozuch7784]

Busbee Style awesome 👏🏻 thank you yes I agree it makes it a lot easier

I'm amazed how often I come across negative reviews for clothing items complaining that the garment shrunk, developed holes or lost dye & was horribly overpriced & cheaplymade because it didn't survive the first wash/dry BUT the description clearly states DRY CLEAN ONLY or to hand wash & line dry with the fabric contents plainly listed. Rayon, viscose, tencel, etc. Why do people buy clothing made from delicate fabrics then proceed to launder them like they're dirty sweat socks? I wash most everything in cold on a delicate cycle & line dry or dry on the coolest setting possible. When in doubt--read the care label! I shop online exclusively & rely somewhat on the reviews/comments regarding any sizing/fit issues. I'm busty so the chest measurement of tops & dresses is what I have to pay attention to since on most size charts I'm a size or even 2 sizes larger on top than the bottom even though my bust/hip is the same. It's mainly this issue that pushes me into Plus Size sizing, at least for tops, dresses & jackets especially if they button up or are fitted in any way across the chest. It's really frustrating finding tailored jackets/blazers in plus sizes, everything is open front & very light weight/unlined.

I have long arms as well as legs. How can find long enough sleeve length?

[@BusbeeStyle]

Take your arm measurement as well. Some brands will have this listed. xo

[@LJSask]

I never knew you could compare or find the model measurements

[@BusbeeStyle]

Yes...that's a great one. Glad you found it helpful, Lisa! xo

[@daffidalswuli]

Erin, do u think all the model sizing Info are realizable for our own purchase purpose? I have a few pairs of Everlane jeans. My waist is 24”, hip 34-35”. All the Everlane jeans I have are size 24. But I see models are so skinny with 23 or 24” waist, but wearing a size 26 jeans. Doesn’t make sense. So I always read lots of reviews to decide the right sizing.

My 5' body has to have petite or have it altered but appreciate your tips.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm 5' 4" and often prefer petite sizes as well. xo

[@maryokeefe5351]

Well if it's any consolation, I am 5'10" and also need to have many things altered. Plus, you can't make sleeves or pant legs longer, it's easier to shorten them. No one is a perfectly average size, it seems.

[@deanaelkins6073]

@@maryokeefe5351 No consolation 😂 5' or 5'10 the deals the same! While it's easier to make shorter I still wish the powers that be would include at least a couple of options in both my size and yours.
