For the Armchair Shopper
Why spend hours scouring the aisles of Marshalls and Ross when you can experience the thrill of the hunt online with a host of discount shopping Web sites? Many of them are offering special deals for the holidays.
DesignerOutlet.com stocks men’s, women’s and kids’ clothing and accessories from 150 lines, including Alexandra Julian, Dolce & Gabbana and Cynthia Rowley. Prices are 35% to 75% off retail, and there are lots of gift possibilities. How about a leather Prada purse for $475? (It retails for $990.) For men, Nicole Miller travel bags and tie cases start at $24.
The site also offers a selection of ready-made gifts for less than $50. Choosier shoppers can send shopping lists via e-mail to receive recommendations.
DealaDay.com is even more bargain basement, with most prices in the $25 range. The site offers clothes for men, women and children and even includes plus sizes. Designs from Calvin Klein, Polo, August Silk and others are for sale, and inventory is updated daily. A glittery August Silk sweater, regularly $49, is a good holiday bet at $29.
Too bad you can’t try things on, though both of these sites accept returns.
