DressLily, Your Secret Spot For Sales

DressLily is the hidden secret of all smart shoppers: it has regular sales, plenty of trend-setting styles to take advantage of, and fun looks to send you back into your closet to cook up a fun ensemble or two using the site as inspiration.

That's another thing that DressLily does well: the designer-inspired company hits it home with looks that seem they came straight out off the pages of the best fashion spreads out there. The company is sleek and stylish, and one of its strongest suits is its variety. The e-tailer is heavy on trends, but that doesn't mean it doesn't embrace classic working pieces like black frocks, simple shift shapes, and blouses that work perfectly underneath a cardigan or blazer. You need to commit the time it takes, however, to hunting out pieces that make you go "aha!!"

You can't walk away from DressLily without a few cool finds that are neither basic nor buttoned-up. We say the best way to approach the retailer for the fun stuff is to imagine that your budget had no restrictions at all. The great thing about DressLily is that it never leaves you feeling deprived, because you can afford styles that normally you would only dream of.

If DressLily were designed to send a message, it would be to “treat yourself.” Fanciful styles are just as plentiful as basic ones, and getting a mix is probably your best bet to score the best deals and still be relatively practical. Just don’t forget those coupon codes.
