Y’all know that I am a huge fan of Eloquii. I’m not kidding when I say about half my closet is full of their clothes. What can I say? They are trendy and affordable clothing, both for work and play, specifically made for the curvy woman. What fashion-obsessed blogger would not love it? 😀 Ever since they re-launched as an independent brand in 2014, I have been a huge fan and customer of their fashionable clothing. I even had the opportunity to visit their HQ when I was in NYC in March. I was such a fantastic opportunity and I loved being able to meet some of their team, see BTS of shooting a marketing campaign and to try on a few items in their new spring collection. (It was definitely a pinch me moment that I will never forget!)

This white lace dress was one of the items I was able to see when I stopped by and I loved the lace detailing from the moment I saw it. Little did I know how absolutely gorgeous it would look on. The black trimming makes the dress almost looked paneled. And it is so flattering! I cannot tell you how many compliments I got on/continue to get about this dress. If you are a bride to be, this dress is one of my favorite options for an engagement party, bridal shower or any other celebration you may need to attend. Heck, even if you aren’t a bride *raising my hand*, this dress is perfect to wear to brunch, a luncheon, a white party or even to date night. Besides wearing it to a wedding, I know that I am going to be wearing this dress to everything!!

Over the past couple of years, I’ve learned a few strategies that have helped me to save a few dollars when purchasing some of my favorite items from Eloquii and I figured I would share them with you, so you can save a little moo-lah or maybe buy that extra item you’ve been eye-ing. So without further ado…

How to save money when shopping at Eloquii

Love” the items that you are interested in purchasing

This probably has to be my saving grace. Have you ever noticed the “Love” button on the right side of the image underneath the name of the item? I’ve highlighted the button in red in the screenshot below.

If you click on this button for an item you like, the item is stored in your profile as one of your loved item. When you are ready to make a purchase, you can go directly to your “Loves” (located as the image of a heart on the right-hand side of the header bar) and see all of your favorites in one place. What makes this feature even cooler is that whenever Eloquii is having a sale, the promotion is listed in red underneath the thumbnail of the image, as shown below. This makes it perfect to determine if it’s time to pull the trigger on that item you are so in love with.

Sign up for Eloquii’s emails

Eloquii is really great about sending out all of their promotions via email and highlighting the new products to their collection. Every morning, I look forward to receiving my Eloquii email to see what the great promotion they are offering that day.

Follow Eloquii on social media

Maybe you get too many emails and can’t fathom subscribing to one more newsletter, no worries – Eloquii’s social media team is amazing about including their sales that are on Eloquii TV (every weekday morning at 9AM CDT on Instagram), throughout their Instagram Stories, Facebook and the traditional Instagram feed (plus it’s fun to see some of the BTS at Eloquii HQ every morning and how other curvy ladies are styling their pics through the #xoq hashtag).

Use Happy Returns, if possible

So, this is a fairly new option that Eloquii is offering. Basically, it’s a way for you to return your items to a physical location rather than shipping it back (and there is NO cost associated with using this service).

I have now used the Happy Returns service twice and have been thoroughly impressed with how it works. At the Houston Galleria, I can take the items that didn’t quite work out for me to the Guest Services desk on the 1st floor of the Galleria closest to Saks Fifth Ave. I bring the items and the itemized package slip. The guest services representative will ask you the store/website you are returning your items to and then ask for the order number. On an iPad, they find the store you are returning items from and enter in your order number and details about your order show up, including pictures. The representative will look at the items you are returning and will return the items for you. During both of my experiences with Happy Returns, I did need to provide a little guidance on which item was which. I think it was because the individuals assisting me weren’t super familiar with the brand, but it really was no trouble at all – I just pointed out which items I was returning on the iPad and the lady assisting me did a quick glance over the physical items before returning it. Overall, I think the hardest part about the returns was finding parking at the Galleria, but Happy Returns is the way I wish I could return everything – I had a return notification in my email prior to walking away from the desk and my refund was in my account within 48 hours.

If you live near a Happy Returns location, take full advantage of it to save the return shipping cost ($7). In addition to the Houston location, Happy Returns also has locations in California, Illinois and Virginia. You can see a list of all the locations on the Eloquii Returns page.

Try to bundle, when possible

Another thing I do when shopping online at any site, is to bundle enough items to meet the free shipping limit (and save myself $7.95), which at Eloquii is $100. Let me tell you, this isn’t hard for me to do, because I love so many things from their website, but there have been a handful of times when I found one item that I needed to have right away and was so glad that I had my “Love” list to go back to and include a few items to meet that quota.

Now, I am not advocating for bombarding your cart with extra items you won’t wear just to meet the limit, because at the end of the day, you will probably end up paying way more than the shipping cost, but waiting until you find a few items that have stolen your heart and bundling them together can save you a bit of $$. Plus, I know if I truly love something when I come back to it after sleeping on it and still have the same giddy feeling when I see it. 😀

Know when to pull the trigger

This tip is definitely three-pronged: First, know when you are getting a deal. Besides final sale items, the largest reduction I typically see on any item is 50%. Not to say it doesn’t or won’t happen, but the highest discount I see on most products throughout the year is 50%. Typically, I will buy the items I love at 40% off because these sales happen more frequently, but it doesn’t hurt to continue to hunt for the best deal.

Secondly, it’s important to know what items do and don’t go on sale. For example, Eloquii’s special collaborations, particularly the one with Teresa Missioni does not go on sale and their swimsuits have not yet been on sale. (Update: Yesterday, I saw some codes on social media from the ladies who were in the swimsuit campaign – go check out KellyAugstineB, AlexMichaelMay or any of the other ladies in the campaign for a special promotion code).

Lastly, and probably most importantly, if you absolutely love an item, be sure to grab it up as soon as you see it or as soon as you see it for a discounted price. There have been a few items that I have waited too long to buy and totally regretted not doing so.

One other thing I’ve learned is to not use my e-cash. Although this is a great perk, it cannot be combined with any other sale or promotion and you cannot use more than one e-cash code on a single transaction. Since Eloquii offers great sales on a lot of items, the e-cash almost becomes irrelevant because you will end up spending more on shipping for a single item rather than bulking items together and taking advantage of the free shipping. If you’ve found a great way to use the e-cash, I would totally love to hear it!

I hope you’ve been having a great week. It’s a bit crazy in my neck of the woods, but I can’t complain. Please comment below with any other tips you have used to save a bit of money at Eloquii – I’m all ears! Happy Shopping!!
