Thanks for breaking it all down. I might have to start adding some of those tricks to my own eBay hunts. 😁
Some days I’m absolutely obsessed—total mania—and other days, honestly, I just can't be bothered to fight through the jungle. 😁

David Sullivan61 said:Someone once asked me about the Marielle Burani outlet. My sister shops there for plus-size clothing, so I finally looked into where the outlet actually is. It’s located in Cavriago, over in Emilia-Romagna, which is roughly a two-hour drive from Venice. My sister heads there specifically for coats, trousers, suits, and general professional attire. Prices can be up to 50% off, I think. She claims this particular spot has the best selection of Burani pieces; apparently, there's another one in Barberino, but she says the variety there just isn't as good. From what I gather, they carry sizes up to a 56, which I suppose would be the equivalent of a US size 22.
Anyway, I hope that helps 🙂

This is gold! Thanks so much! I'm definitely gonna try to make a run for it soon. 🙂

Glad you found those links useful 🙂 and that your orders arrived okay. Thanks for the Lands' End review, too—pretty sure you're the first person here to try them, and it's great news that the quality holds up (their stuff is cute, by the way 😍). Now the rest of us can finally start clearing out our shopping carts. 🤣

As for selling things, I think you’ll have better luck getting eyes on your items in this thread since the target audience is right here, though I'm not sure if the moderators allow it. Might be best to just shoot one of them a DM and ask if posting clothes for sale is cool here? 🤷

Just a quick update from me. 🙂 I mentioned before that I was hunting for a leather jacket (I thought I'd just stick to faux leather again), but I haven't found anything I actually like. Anyway, I ended up snagging a real leather jacket on eBay for like $15. 😍 It's basically brand new. Some lady in the Midwest lost some weight and was clearing out her closet. 🤣 I think it'll be nice, but I'll post photos once it gets here. Her pictures were pretty terrible—probably why there wasn't much competition on the bid. We'll see.

Between those knee-high boots everyone was talking about and everything else, I've pretty much got what I need. Except for snow boots. My cobbler said he could fix my current pair since they've been leaking, so I'll try that first—the prices for new ones online are just ridiculous right now. 😬

Thanks, nimbleheron47! 😍 Honestly, looking forward to hunting for gems together—fingers crossed this thread doesn't die out too soon.

How do you even navigate eBay without losing your mind? Do you filter by size? And any hacks for shipping? I once bought an Evans jacket from some woman over in the UK and the shipping ended up being more than $33, when the jacket itself was only about $13. 🙂

Hey there, all you beautiful ladies out there! 👋

So, this summer I finally went down the rabbit hole of online shopping. Spent way too much money—total splurge, honestly—but looking back, it was actually worth it. After ordering a mountain of pants, tees, shirts, blazers, and scarves, I’d say I missed the mark on size or quality maybe 10% of the time, which isn't a bad ratio if you ask me. 😁

I stumbled upon Lands' End through this thread, so I figured I'd sign up and leave some reviews for the stuff I picked up.
Everything I got was from their outlet section because, let's be real, the full-price stuff is a bit steep for my budget. The quality is legit, though—feels like it'll actually last.


My version of this shirt is this light turquoise blue. It fits great, it's long enough, hugs the body without being weird, and it's super comfy. Plus, it's easy to iron. Definitely a solid buy.


This one is sooo soft—like, seriously cozy against the skin. It's got those 2-3 layers in the front depending on where you look. It hangs nicely, but man, it stretches *a lot*. I definitely botched the sizing here; it looks decent right after a wash, but after sitting down a couple of times, I've got excess fabric everywhere. Didn't bother returning it because shipping is a killer 😁, and honestly, the fabric is just too soft to pass up.


A really high-quality, polished little shirt. It has plenty of stretch, but just enough to hold its shape. It's long enough too—I need things to hit at least mid-rear, you know? Just don't wear it when it's warm out. I tried it once when it was around 70°F and felt like I was wearing a tarp—probably because the fabric is so thick. Looks great tucked into some trousers, though.

I'm thinking about placing another order soon, so if anyone wants to split the shipping costs, hit me up! That would be awesome.

I also grabbed some stuff from New Look—mostly pants—and I'm loving them. Also picked up some tops from Yours, and the fit is spot on.
Now I'm on the hunt for some cotton pajamas that won't break the $25 mark. Any ideas?

Anyway, I'm loving this thread; I've practically read every single page. Let's keep it going... 😍

One more thing... is there a specific thread where I can sell a few new items that didn't fit? Either here or somewhere else?
