Cheap & Cheerful Clothing Sites


For The Iconic Lovers, Here are some Coupon Code links:

To find perfect coupon codes you need to look for 4 key things:
1. Correct clothing website you are wanting codes for.
2. Still valid.
3. Works with sale items in cart, not just full price (to maximise savings & bargains!!!)
4. Ensure shipping is Free or less than $10, as it’s not worth spending an extra $10 for shipping when you’re trying to be savvy and save.

Other great websites with continuous sales:
INSTAGRAM: the little clothing stores are still unknown to majority of the world and have great sales to try promoting the store. I always seem to find 20-80% off! Plus if they have coupon codes USE them.

DIY - Nike Tshirt


Recently for a party the theme was Black and White. I didnt see a point in being the typical girl in a black tight low cut dress... so i found a few ideas on fashion blogs. I found an outfit containing a White Nike tshirt with the classic black logo and a White pencil skirt. To purchase the Nike top was $45 plus $40 shipping (to expensive) so i got creative and decided I could make the outfit!

Basically i got a white top made from http://www.vistaprint.com.au/vp/ns/default.aspx found a few coupon codes and got the white tshirt for $4 100% cotton. Shipping was $15 (arrived in a week) and in total I spent $19 for a Nike top that could have costed $45 on 1 website or $120 on Ebay as its considered a "vintage style" now.

This is my version:


Replica Nike Tshirt $19 and Black pencil skirt from Forever21.

Best Buy So Far!



Last night I thought I should buy another dress only because it was on sale...
This dress is worth $109 from 'Beginners Boutique' personally i wouldnt spend that amount of money on a dress thats 100% cotton and not a "Designer" so i did some googling and found the SAME dress and brand on sale from $45 to $30.60!!! This store is my fav online store 'StyleKeepers' they sell the same products as Princess Polly & Beginners Boutique but are more than half the price! (No coupon code; just an amazing sale)

 


This dress is size S worth $109 brought for $30.90, free 1 day shipping and perfect quality!
This dress is a 'print' however the white lace on the front is 'touchy feely' .. thats why i love it; its a graphic print and has a feel&touch element!

Savvy Fashion


Welcome to my blog 'Coupon Queen'!
Everyone would know I love shopping however working in the fast food industry making $14.27 an hour doesn’t really help my shopping addiction. It all started when I became in love with online shopping... adding items to carts, making accounts; but with the total price being more than three double digits, I never brought anything. One day I was on Victoria's Secret and finally made my first order and was rewarded a coupon code for $15 off and that is how the Coupon Queen started. Coupons totally changed my world! I’ve used them on places such as: The Iconic & One Teaspoon and many more. The best thing about being a couponer is that you realise that a sale at David Jones for 30% off is absolutely nothing compared to the coupon code world. I have found myself not buying clothes full price (THAT'S A NO) or on sale for 30-50% off, as i know its a rip off! The coupon world and the online shopping world has been the best thing that has happened to my wardrobe (& my wallet).

Just recently I’ve had a massive shop online and thought i should start a blog! Within a week I have spent $74 on 6 items.

From the 6 items, i have the top 2 'Best Buys' which I’ll be sharing!

Item 1:
'Style keeper' online store white lace top size S on sale for $35 with coupon $27!! Coupon code: 'INSTA-LOVE' 10% off



My package came within 1 days (ordered Sunday arvo arrived Monday arvo) opening the package it was wrapped in tissue paper. The top itself was light fabric and the quality wasn’t too bad considering the price. Size S would fit 6-8. On the bright side it’s a great design and not many people have it!

Item 2:
'Glasson’s' online store Black Cord Jeans on sale for $20 (original price $50).

I brought size 6 (if your between 6 and 8 some jean do size 7 and according to my measurements I’m a 7 but they didn’t sell that size). Size 6 was a great fit! Light Cord fabric and worth $20! (I was close to buying cheap Monday jeans for $100+ and so GLAD i didn’t!!). Arrived in 2 days! No coupon required! Glasson’s is great for basic clothing plus jeans i really love the store!
