Shop til you Drop (Online ver.)

I've always been extremely wary of online-shopping for clothing/accessories.  I always opted for the hand-on approach to all my clothes shopping.  Generally speaking, my style has a dual-personality consisting of: super feminine & girly with different colors, bows, and soft fabrics; and monochromatic urban chic, bordering trendy hipster wannabe.  Recently, I discovered two sites that sufficiently cater to these two sides of my personal style, from different designers/brands, at (somewhat) reasonable prices.

1.  ModCloth:  www.modcloth.com .  Their slogan claims to be 'mod-retro' clothing, but I can't seem to really find anything honestly mod or retro about the clothing on this site.  Possibly (very slightly) retro, but you can decide for yourself.  ModCloth will obviously be the girly, the love for bows and poofy dresses, side of my style characteristic.  Here's a peek:

2.  Need Supply Co.  www.needsupply.com.  Here is the other, urban monochromatic side of my style.  Again, a few of my recent picks:

(especially like this satchel for everyday use)

In an ideal world, a sophisticated (and affordable) line of clothing will merge these two fashion preferences into a coherent, classic line of clothes for young women.  I occasionally am lucky enough to find certain pieces of clothing here and there, that match this merging of styles, but usually I'm never fully content.  It's either lacking some femininity, or some edgy statement.

Enough with the rambling, and happy shopping!

Always,
