Well, Friends, Land’s End has been killing it once
again! I think I say this every
fall (when I have to buy new stuff for the kids and am usually on the lookout
for a piece or two for myself) but they cannot be beaten! Land’s End quality is outstanding,
their style is trending and flattering (unlike the Forever 21 harem pants I saw
when I was hunting for skinnies the other day) – and their prices are always
great.
I am not being paid for this, I just wanted to tell y’all
what I found.
1 – Dresses – I’m looking for a few
winter-appropriate dresses. Maybe
for work, maybe for events. I
found two, on sale. I tried them
on and they look great – a $90 dress for $20!! When I wear them, I’ll put up pictures for you to see.
2 – Work Pants – I like to wear pants to work in the
winter. I live in Minnesota. It’s a no-brainer. I’ve read about their Ponte-Knit work
pants for ages, but never purchased them as they’re usually in the $50-60 range
and so I put them on the ‘next time’ list. Well, I found a pair on sale for $30 and I was in need of a pair of pants. Let me tell you that these feel like
I’m wearing sweats to work!! Note:
the reviews said they shrink easily, so I called LE Customer Service and they
said to wash cold and hang dry and that should avoid this problem.
3 – Necklace – I don’t normally consider Land’s End a
jewelry place, though they’ve always had nice accessory jewelry available. I found a necklace I just had to try,
though, so I did, with my birthday money.
I haven’t gotten it yet.
4 – Kid Clothes – Their kids’ clothes aren’t the
cheapest, not the most expensive, but I buy a lot of clothes locally and for
the girls’ school pictures, I wanted their outfits to be from someplace else
besides one of the standard stores I shop at (Target, Children’s Place, Gap
Kids, Old Navy) – for ease as much as anything. I got the girls dresses and since it was the same dress,
just different pattern, I was able to take advantage of their buy-2-(or
more)-and-get-$3-off-each-dress sale.

5 – Kids’ Outerwear – Land’s End kids outerwear can’t
be beaten by a mile. Dad and Mom
Connie got the girls LE Squall Parkas last year and they’ll wear them again
this year because the sleeve length extends (genius). We got the girls their snow boots from LE last year and they
were great, waterproof and easy on-off.
They outgrew them, so I had to order new pairs – same style since I
know what works! I also ordered
another set of their fleece mittens and hats since I know it’s good quality,
not chintzy stuff. Why am I
stocking up on this, you say?
Because
through September 17th at midnight Central time, kids outwear is 25%
off with this code and pin # (PLAYFUL; 3120)!! Those are from my catalog – I don’t know if you can find it
online anymore since their website seems to have moved on to another sale. You’re
welcome.
In general, if you spend over $50, you can find a code for
free shipping and their customer service is SECOND TO NONE. (Well, maybe tied with Nordstrom, and
Nordstrom does have free shipping all the time, but they also cost a lot more,
so I’m giving Land’s End the win on the free shipping.)
Have fun shopping!
I’m always happy to share tips where I find them since it seems like the
internet is a snake pit for the unwitting shopper what with restocking fees and
return deadlines. Yowza.
