The following site, Dolce Fugo does not require signing up. They have elite designers. The designer items on this site are at rock bottom prices. We thought you may enjoy looking at designer clothes you can actually afford. Remember our philosophy, first build you Basic Classic Wardrobe (BCW) and then add in trendy and fun items. No sense purchasing a designer tee shirt if you have nothing to wear with it. Conversely if you have a great BCW, go ahead and invest, you will have unlimited things to wear your designer tee with!
The best way I can think of the describe Brandlet is to say it is an online version of TJ Maxx or Marshalls. They have brand names for much less than retail. Items are limited – but taking the time to find something at these prices is wellh worth it!
