I love Amazon as much as the next person, but up until now, it hadn’t crossed my mind to order clothing from the site. Household items, books, and cleaning supplies are part of my regular shipments, but for some reason, clothing wasn’t occurring to me. Well apparently, I’ve been living under a rock because the ‘zon has some super-chic fashion items that rival my go-to retailers.
