Things would be simpler if I had help from say Stacy and Clinton of TLC's What Not to Wear.  They could filter the information, show me only things most likely to fit, and save me loads of frustration.

As luck would have it, that's the idea behind Shopittome.com.  This FREE online service is the next best thing to having a personal shopper. Like any good assistant, they get to know you before starting work and follow instructions to the letter. 

You determine:

§         The schedule - Should sale emails arrive daily, Monday and Thursday as recommended, or another day of the week?

§         What's In - Are you looking for women's, men's, running or children's clothing?  Want to see dresses, jewelry, sunglasses or shoes?  Not interested in these, don't worry, you can choose from about 20 other categories.

§         Who You'll Wear - The 600+ brand names possible include everyone from Ann Taylor Loft to Zac Posen.

§         A Flattering Fit - Are you regular or petite?  What's your size in tops, bottoms, shoes and intimate apparel?

§         Discount Dollars - Is $200 the limit or what's the most you'll pay? Want at least a 20 percent discount or more?

You can be precise, like me, requesting 7 For All Mankind or Joe's Jeans in size 25 with at least a 20 percent discount.  Or cast a wider net.  In either case, Shop It To Me follows through delivering sale rundowns as planned with only the items right for you. Pieces are organized by retailer and include any codes needed to reap the specified discount.

If you like what you see, simply click through to the retailer's site where you'll want to check out shipping and return policies before completing the order. You can also tell your friends.  Refer 10 and you'll score a $10 gift card to Banana Republic, Gap, J Crew or any of about seven other stores. And you can change your settings plus pause or unsubscribe to the service at any time.
