If you want to go for sales go early is the only advice to pick the best ones. Sales product needs to be checked carefully. Online shopping never gave me a good feel of the product if it is not a book.

Shopping for clothing on line can be very tricky, as you have discovered...I generally don't purchase clothing for that very reason, unless it's something like PJs or the like that wherein I can guesstimate the size fairly well.<br/><br/>Good luck with customer service...been there, done that.<br/><br/>Price doesn't always indicate quality...or, at least, price doesn't always provide the longevity one would want to associate with price that it used to. (There was an article in Vogue a few months ago, I think, about a problem with a VERY expensive coat that couldn't keep its buttons attached.) Kudos on getting a warm coat!

Good luck with customer service…been there, done that.

Also, great article. There are many bright and driven women out there who forget to save and plan for the future. No time like the present; we are in an age where relying on a man does always work :-)! Congrats on your purchases! Also, great article.
