Buy, Return, Repeat - Your shopping habits being monitored?

www.fabulouslycurvy.blogspot.com
It seems there are some people with habits that are getting some retailers upset.  There are some stores that do not like their customers return habits.  There are some consumers out there curvy divas, who buy an item, wear it, and return to the store.  They do this over and over again, so much so that they are now on the "radar" of the store's management!

These stores are now changing their return policies for customer's who constantly return stuff.  So it is not only because the customer have worn a garment and returned it, but just because they buy and return, and buy and return.....possibly, more than two times in a given month. 

According to the article I read on Refinery29.com,  some stores are now "compiling data on customers who often purchase and return items, even if they do so at different stores.  Information about you will go into a database where other stores who are part of whatever organization or linked-data, will be able to probably "tag" you!

Do you think this is fair to you as a consumer divas? I do understand the retailers actions having been on that end of the spectrum in retail management before; and let me tell you, there were some pretty bad offenders back then!  I do think that if they are going to do this, they should be careful that they do not unfairly tag the wrong customer who might just not be able to make up her mind when shopping.  I would love your thoughts on this! 

In the meantime, to read the article in full, copy and past the link below:

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
