*Outfit Details: Skirt (Zara), Boots (Alfani), Bag (Anne Klein), Sweater (Shein)
I love clothing, but I hate shopping. Can any of you guys relate? I rarely shop in stores because I don’t have the patience to look through racks, try on clothing and then stand online to pay for it. I prefer shopping online at the convenience of my home because I am able to filter clothing to my sizes and styles. Most of the time, there is also free returns so I don’t feel too bad if I order the same item in two different sizes or styles that I am unsure about.
Here are my top favorite three places to shop at:
- ASOS:Â I love ASOS mainly because it has a petite section and I think it one of the only online stores that have this category. I absolutely love their clothing as well because they are stylish, affordable and fit me perfectly. I am also a huge fan of their runway video because it shows exactly how the item looks on a model and in action. I hate when stores have clothing on mannequins because it is usually fitted well with clips in the back. ASOS also have regular sales so it’s a great destination to shop all year round.
- ZARA:Â Who doesn’t love ZARA? Zara is my go to store for everything and anything. I live by Soho and there’s a huge new Zara that opened last year and I am constantly there. Zara is also the only store that I will prefer to shop in person than online because to be honest, I don’t really like their online layout and shopping experience. I love their wide range of items and everything usually seems to be in style or in trend. It is very difficult to go in and not come out with at least one purchase.
- LULUS: Lulus is my go to spot when I am looking for something fancy or a specific dress for a special occasion. They have regular items too but I prefer their dresses because they have styles for all events. I got my graduation dress from Lulus and several dresses for weddings. They also have cute summer dresses so before the summer starts, I normally visit their website to see what I can stock up for.
I would love to hear about your favorite stores to shop at because I am always trying to find new places for clothes. Be sure to also let me know if you prefer online shopping to in person.

I love zara too, esp if its on sale haha! ? My top 3 picks are cotton on, forever21, H&M ?
Asos is a pretty great store. I actually should check out that store more often since they have a variety of stuff that definitely fit my size! OMG Zara is sooo good for finding pieces in the neutral color palette. 🙂 My two favorite stores are Nasty Gal and Topshop. I really like Nordstrom as well.

I love nastygal for special occasion clothing. Top shop is also good especially since it’s right near where I live but I love Zara the best for style and price!
Oh dear! I can totally relate ! I prefer to do my shopping online! So much easier that way! I also love to shop @asos and @zara! So many beautiful pieces!

So glad you can relate!
I love shopping online too! Lately going to the mall is fun but so stressful to me because I have to fight people for parking and there are people everywhere! You look super cute!

Thanks Linh! Shopping online is definitely less stressful than in person.
Hey I have this sweater too, it’s super cutie! And I love shopping at all three of your favorites! Such great pieces at great prices too.
Thank you Lucy!
Great studded skirt and pop of red! You look lovely! I adore ZARA. I’m a total sucker for that store and can spend over an hour browsing and trying things on. Asos is one of my favourites as well. I honestly get stuck shopping for a really long time on that site though. There’s so many great pieces! Lulus is also an amazing one. 🙂 Funny enough, I actually prefer shopping online, except for ZARA. The selection is always so much better in stores to me.

I totally agree and glad we share the same feelings about those stores!
I love that red bag babe! Adds just the perfect amount of pop to the look hehe xo, sharon

Thanks Sharon! Since I had such a basic outfit, I wanted to accessorize it with something bright.
ASOS is one of my favorite places to shop for accessories and shoes!! And I love going to Zara to check out the latest trends 🙂 the red bag is adorable!

Thank you Samantha! I recently just purchased quite a few things from Zara!
I’m exactly the same as you. Love fashion, but hate shopping. It’s kind of an oxymoron really, so just like you, I do most of my shopping online. I have to add yet another store to that list though if you’re looking for basic, contemporary and affordable fashion: H&M.

I like shopping at H&M, but not online. I feel like their sizing is always a little off so I have to physically try it in stores before purchasing them.
I love Zara and Asos too, but I also like Nordstroms because of their stellar return policy. My fav online stores to shop at are also Shopbop and Revolve. I haven’t shopped at Lulu’s ever before but will definitely look into it. Love the studded mini skirt and that red bag! xoxo, Christine

Thank you Christine. I definitely need to shop at Revolve more!
The red Anna Klein bag is beautiful! I’ve never shopped at Lulus before. Do they also have a physical store to help try on sizing?

No they don’t, but their online size guide is pretty accurate. I haven’t ran into any issues with their sizing.
Love all 3 of these stores girl!! Especially ASOS..I’m always browsing through their website!! Zara is such a great store for affordable trend pieces and basics too 🙂 Thanks for sharing <3

Thanks Jessi! Glad we have similar store preferences.
You know what’s so crazy?! While I absolutely love every piece I’ve seen from those shops, I’ve never actually shopped at any of them haha. It’s terrible! I typically stick with super affordable stores like H&M or Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe if I’m going to do any shopping for myself. I definitely need to begin opening up the door to more options!

I used to shop at those stores but for some reason, I’ve outgrown it. I think the items are adorable and affordable, but I never feel compelled to actually go and purchase an item.
I love the way you styled this look girl! That sweater is so cute!
Thank you Kenzie!
I definitely love all three of those stores! I love how all of them always have such a nice variety of clothings and styles 🙂 Have an amazing day hun!

Yes I totally agree and it’s helpful that they’re having a major sale right now!
I’m grinning from ear to ear because you selected 3 of my favorite stores! I also hate shopping in store because of similar reasons, but also because I hate being hit-on by guys when I’m trying to shop…ugh. That saddle bag you’re wearing needs to be added to my collection 🙂

Thanks love! So glad you agree with me and we have similar store preferences 🙂
I love your outfit, you look amazing and that skirt is so cute!!
Thanks love! It’s from Zara, which is one of my favorite places to shop at.
I’m an avid online shopper as well, especially around sale season—my least favorite season to wait on line! Asos and Zara are definitely on my top favorites list. My latest obsession is & other stories! They’re a little bit pricey but I absolutely love their collection.

I’ve been hearing great reviews about & Other stories. There’s also a shop near me so maybe I should go check it out!
I actually haven’t shopped at ASOS before but I heard SO many good things! Must try them out. And I loooove Zara!! Like you said, who doesn’t?! I love lulu’s too! I haven’t shopped from them in a while but definitely will when the weather gets a little warmer. I love their dresses!

You haven’t shopped at ASOS?!? Girl, you need to make a purchase ASAP 🙂 I love them!
I am a huge fan of Zara and Asos, but have yet to try Lulu’s. And I am the same way – I’m a total online shopper. I stepped into a mall today to run a couple errands – it had been like 2 months since I went to a mall to shop. It’s just so much easier, more variety, and better sizing choices online for sure!

I also think it’s because I love receiving packages in the mail. It might sound a bit weird but I would prefer receiving my items on my doorstep rather than carrying the bag home from the shop.
The first 2 are also my favourite but never heard about Lulus babe. Will make sure to check them out and thanks for the recommendation.
xoxo

Lulus is a great online boutique for fun dresses and cute clothing!
