Happy New Year! I am happy to see a new year arrive. Sometimes it doesn’t matter so much, but 2024 was a hard year for me, so I’m hopeful 2025 will be better.
It’s fun to take a look at the items you purchased during a year. I like knowing what resonated with you. These results are based on clicks on links, so I don’t know exactly what you bought or who bought it. Don’t worry, your privacy is safe. What I know is what item was clicked on that made a sale. Maybe you bought it or maybe you found something different/better once you clicked over. Nonethless, these things caught your eye and drove sales.
Before we dive into these, let me express my sincere appreciation for your support. I earn a commission from these purchases and it makes this blog possible. It’ s how I pay hosting fees and other expeneses that go into running a blog. I truly appreciate all of your visits, comments, pins, shares and purchases. All of these things move the needle forward on keeping this space alive and running. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it possible.
The Top Ten Retailers of 2024
Here’s a quick run down of the retailers you purchase from when you visit my blog, click from my newsletter or other social media links. A couple of years ago I did a survey and it was funny to me that where readers said they shopped and wanted to see content from did not align with the actual analytics. Maybe you shop those retailers from someone else’s links or no links at all, but it didn’t match up and I didn’t make sales from a couple of the retailers I tried to feature.
The top ten retailers are:
Amazon- Who doesn’t love Amazon, especially Prime members for free shipping and free returns? Amazon fashion can be hit or miss, but there are some great brands there and I try to only share what I would buy for myself.
Macy’s– Macy’s surprises me because I don’t shop there much for myself, but I do feature it often so it makes sense. I had some issues a couple of years ago with returns and I don’t live close to a Macy’s. If I did I would probably shop there more often. I do like that they have petite options online.
Nordstrom– Another great place to shop for free shipping and great return options. Also great options for petites and a variety of body shapes.
Wal-mart Wal-mart fashion is so fun and affordable. But you really have to stay on top of it. Things sell out so quickly sometimes.
JCPenney- an old faithful. I have shopped here my entire life. It was one of the options within a reasonable driving distance from where I grew up, and I was sad when our local stores closed. I shop there less now because of shipping and the cost of returns, but they still have affordable and stylish fashion.
Old Navy -so many affordable finds and the petite options online are one of my draws to ON. I love their jeans.
Loft- Great retailer for work wear and petite options. I love it when they offer free shipping.
Kohl’s– Another affordable place for casual or work wear, and you can find some options for petites.
Target One stop shopping for everything, much like Amazon and Wal-mart.
DSW Great place for shoes. Sign up for perks with their VIP club.
So, do these retailers resonate with you? Is there somewhere else you would like to see items featured from?
The Top Ten Best Sellers of 2024
These are the top ten best sellers from everwhere except Amazon. I plan on doing a separate post for Amazon. Amazon is my top retailer so it gets its own post.
Time and Tru Faux Leather Leggings– I have these and love them. They are on the thinner side but that’s perfect for our southern fall and winters. And the price is a steal.
Time and Tru Faux Leather Mary Jane Flats – Another winner from Wal-mart. I have these and I’m currently still wearing them. They have a memory foam foot bed and they are comfortable enough for all day wear. They are an affordable way to be on trend, and they go with everything.
Banana Republic Factory Elbow Sleeve t-shirt- perfect for covering those upper arms when you want coverage. Currently at a great price for under $20.
Print Sleeveless Chiffon Maxi Dress A gorgeous option for fall and winter weddings.
Sam and Jess Smocked Waist Top This top is another great option for covering upper arms and providing waist definition.
Style and Company Comfort Waist Cargo Shorts– great classic shorts to have for summer. “Comfort waist” is a winner.
Women’s Button Front Jumpsuit A jumpsuit can be a great option for a variety of occasions when you need to dress up and don’t want to wear a dress.
Classic Jean Jacket– Goes with so many outfits and can be worn year round in many places. I carry mine around in the summer for chilly stores and restaraunts.
Waist Defined V-Neck Jumpsuit Stretchy and comfy! So comfy you won’t even realize you are dressed up.
Everlane Pima Luxe Rib Crew Neck Tee Another item I don’t own, and I don’t remember featuring this much, but these tees are highly recommend. One of my goals this year will be to branch out and try other retailers, so this might be making its way into my closet.
