Quick post about dELiA*s:
Are you as happy about the relaunch as I am? They went bankrupt in December 2014, so I naturally bought every pair of jeans available in my size.
I’m kind of happy I did that because from my first impression of looking at the jeans section on the website, I don’t remember paying that much. Of course jeans were on super sale because everything had to go, but now they look overpriced. The most I’ve paid for a pair of jeans is around $21-$28 max. Now I am seeing $49.90-$54.90 for a pair of jeans. What a difference!
I suggest only getting these on sale when it’s worth it. I can’t speak about the dresses, because I only purchased a black cardigan, which is still alive by the way, and I’ve gotten a number of graphic tees in high school as gifts. They were kind of my thing.
Right now, I don’t seem to see a sale section. I guess they had to up their prices in order to pay for how long they’ve been gone.
What do you think? Will you shop at dELiA*s?
I’ve only heard of dELiA*s but not really looked on the site.
I think I’m too old for the site, but I like this:
Jeans are expensive – I don’t WANT to pay more than $30 but them but in reality they’re usually around $80 here even at the Gap. Gah.

I know. Jeans shopping in general — It’s a pain.

When Delia’s was having that huge sale, I believe I bought 3 or 4 pairs of jeans for just $17. Otherwise, their jeans are REALLY expensive >_<
I usually don't shop at Delia's because I think it's too overpriced for the quality, but I do have a cute penguin top from them that I bought a few years back! ^_^

SEE. That’s what I’m saying! It makes no sense to buy those jeans for over 50 bucks when clearly we got it for 20 or less. Shop the sale only if you must! I’m not so sure about this relaunch just yet.

Yeah! Companies often earn 70% (or 700%? i don’t remember) more than how much they actually spent to make their clothes. My mom was in project managing for a while, and she says that most clothes cost less than $10 to actually make, but they’re sold to us for $50.

Ooh, the prices went up?! I thought that was the whole appeal of delia*s – cheap and cheerful. I remember browsing the site back in my 20s but I never bought anything since I didn’t know they’d fit.
I generally like to get discounted jeans at the Gap (<$30, and I've even gotten a pair or two for <$10!), or I'll occasionally splurge on a designer pair at Winners.

They’re not my favorite ever, but they’re good and can be pretty cheap! They also fit petite me, so that’s a great bonus. I loved all the skinnies they put out the last few summers in pastels and brights.

Goodness! What a price difference!!! I always have the best luck at old navy for jeans – they are indestructible! I like either the diva or flirt fit because they are classic jeans with great washes and little to no stretch – I don’t know why, but I hate when jeans have a lot of stretch!
