15 Things That Happen When You Shop on St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day may not seem like your typical retail bonanza like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. But as you know, when celebrations and libations are involved, things happen. We at Ebates have put together a possible scenario for how St. Paddy’s Day could play out for those who enjoy a little retail therapy. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. 🙂

1. First, you craft your strategy in terms of wearing green.

2. You decide to go the subtle route and prepare to remind would-be pinchers at work that green undergarments totally count.

3. They respond with the maturity and professionalism you have come to expect of them.

4. You survive the cheesy 4 pm festivities that may or may not include wearing tiny green plastic hats and enjoying a cocktail in the kitchen. (But we bet you didn’t look nearly as adorbz as this little guy.)

5. 5 pm rolls around and it’s finally time to hit the town with a few friends. You try not to run too quickly out of the building.

6. On the way to dinner, you pass a few shops. Nothing really catches your eye. But then again, you’ve got other things on your mind.

7. You finally have dinner and a signature green spirit. Feeling full and festive, it is now time to explore the rest of the city.

8. You pass the same boutique you spotted earlier and suddenly, those slingback boots in the window are the cutest shoes you have ever seen.

9. You go inside, knowing you are opening a fabulous can of worms. You spot pair after pair of shoes that would surely make your life complete. Somewhere during this frenzy, you ask yourself if you really need so many pairs.

10. You silently engage in a philosophical conversation with yourself about the nature of “need.” If we’re getting technical, you don’t really “need” a single pair of shoes. Shoes are a luxury. You buy shoes because you love shoes. And for some reason, totally unrelated to how many cocktails you have imbibed this St. Paddy’s Day, you really love THESE shoes.

11. You decide to go for it.

12. Because YOLO.

13. You go home. The next day, you wake up to boxes of beauties just waiting to be worn by you and only you.

14. And…receipts…

15. But luckily, you remembered to link In-Store Cash Back offers to your credit card using the Ebates App before buying those new shoes! That means you didn’t miss out on Cash Back while indulging in some impromptu purchases. Guilt-free shopping = Best St. Patrick’s Day ever?

7 Secrets to Finding Spring Clothing Deals

Spring has finally sprung! Whether you’re planning to jet off somewhere fabulous for spring break or just want to get out and take a stroll in the recently returned sunshine, spring is the perfect time to give your wardrobe a much needed pick-me-up. If your ambitions of new spring fashion have your budget quaking in its boots, don’t fret just yet. Spring generally means flowers and more sunlight, but did you know it also comes with some pretty incredible fashion deals? If you know where to look, spring fashion coupons and clothing sales are ripe for the picking on everything from basics to swimwear. Wondering where to get started? Check out these seven insider secrets and you’ll be on your way to the perfect spring fashion makeover at a price that will make the most of any budget.

1. Join the Club

Staying in touch with your favorite brands simply by entering your email address can mean some serious spring fashion savings. Many stores will reward customers for loyalty or even just for signing up for their email newsletters. Get incredible spring fashion coupons, spring sample sale alerts and exclusive early access to spring clothing sales when you register online with your favorite brands. Signing up for store loyalty programs can also mean that you get reward points for shopping that can later be redeemed for a clothing promo code or freebie. Spring shopping can easily turn into enough points for fabulous fashion savings later on in the year!

2. Take Advantage of End of Season Sales

Mark your calendars! As the seasons shift, stores will usually knock down the prices on the previous season’s apparel and spring is no exception. Many retailers will move into warm weather apparel and swimsuits as soon as spring starts and put their cooler weather apparel on sale. If you happen to live in a region where spring doesn’t exactly equal bathing suit weather, this can mean some awesome clothing deals for you! Stock up on warmer wear or even the apparel that came out in prior seasons that still fits in with ongoing fashion trends and you’re in for a steal!

3. Shop Top Fashion Outlet Stores

If you’re looking for the top brands this spring but don’t want to pay top price, make sure you cash in on the incredible spring clothing deals available at popular online outlet stores. High fashion stores are full of gorgeous accessories and clothes on sale that will have you looking like you stepped out of a fashion magazine without the top fashion prices. Plus, if you activate Cash Back at Ebates at any of these stores, your spring fashion budget will go even farther!

4. Update Your Accessories

Even if you don’t have the cash to do a full spring wardrobe overhaul, updating your accessories and accent pieces can go a long way toward freshening up your look. Give those drab fall and winter outfits a fun spring accessory like a bright pair of flats, some sparkly jewelry or a scarf with a cheerful print. Check out stores like J.Crew for a wealth of fun accents that won’t break the bank and will score you some Cash Back.

5. Cash in on Coupon Codes

When it comes to stretching your spring fashion budget, coupons and promo codes are going to be your best friends. Plus, spring fashion coupons are easy to find if you know where to look! Keeping an eye on the store’s homepage will ensure that you don’t miss any deals, but no one really has time to constantly watch for that spring accessory promo code you’re after. While this is another reason you’ll want to sign up for store e-newsletters, if you’re overwhelmed with emails, don’t forget that you can simply head over to Ebates for a full listing of available codes and sales from all of your favorite online stores. Make Ebates your first stop for spring fashion shopping and never miss out on an apparel promo code or spring accessory coupon code again!

6. Check Out Fashion Blogs to Get the Look for Less

Staying up to date with top fashion trends is fun, but it can mean serious danger for your bank account balance. As you know, some high fashion just isn’t affordable, even with major clothing sales. The good news is that this doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t get the look you’re after at a great price. The secret? Check out fashion blogs and magazines with features on how to get the look for less. Most retailers will produce similar garments and accessories as top fashion labels, so you really don’t have to spend top dollar to keep up to date. Finding a great deal on the looks you want and getting clothes on sale is a much easier task at a trend and wallet friendly store.

7. Think Outside the Box & Get Creative

Still not finding the savings you’re seeking? Tap into your creative side and make your own spring fashion accessories! Start collecting ideas on Pinterest or your other favorite creative hub and then head off to the craft store! Stores like Michaels and joann.com both have a terrific selection of DIY fashion supplies that can help fuel your projects, like headbands, faux flowers and jewelry essentials. Whether you are adding a little sparkle and a flowery touch to an old clutch or making a bright new statement necklace, you’ll stand out from the pack with your truly unique creation and keep up with spring fashion trends at a fraction of the cost!

4 Spring Shoe Trends Anyone Can Rock

It’s officially time to commence your spring fashion wardrobe overhaul and why not start from the bottom up with a pair or 10 of fabulously on-trend spring shoes? These four shoe trends are daring enough to kick up any look but accessible for even a fashion novice because they can easily pair with basics. Score these and other designer shoes with Cash Back at Ebates and keep an eye out for spring fashion coupons to get an even bigger bang for your buck on runway-inspired looks and accessories.

Laces Out

This is one shoe trend you cannot miss. Lace-up flats, pumps and sandals give you the flirty ballerina vibe with some added structure for edge. These Nine West flats in a creamy neutral can pair with printed dresses and jeans alike.

Go with a print and an accented heel for a really bold statement, topped off with those delicate laces. These spotted flats are perfect for liquid leggings by night, tailored slacks by day.

The popping yellow in these Steve Madden Roebella pumps will make the laces stand out even more, especially when rocked with a midi skirt.

Block Party

Block heels are a big part of the larger 70s retro fashion trend, but don’t be fooled by their perceived heaviness. Styles like this slingback boot use cut-outs and peep toes to stay on the spring style tip.

A solid bright pair like these Style & Co. sandals will give you plenty of mileage and can easily wear for both casual and work outfits.

Because block heels are large and in-charge, they are the perfect vehicle for embellishment to create a small yet bold accent. These Miu Miu sandals look fabulous with a sleek black jumpsuit.

Technicolor Dream

Spectrum colors in both straight-up rainbow arrangements and popping prints are taking over the spring shoe market. These suede peep-toe booties will certainly turn heads.

A daring play on spring florals, these abstract-print pumps are fruity and flirty. Easily pair with cuffed jeans or a white tank dress.

These art-deco flats feature a strong dose of spectrum color but their allure comes from graphic stripes and a fashion-forward structure.

Sleek and Sporty

Oxfords and loafers with a sporty heel are an easy way to make an instant statement. These pastel oxfords feature a slight platform and wedge that would easily complement a midi pencil skirt for a nod to 90s style.

Add some swing to your step with these menswear-inspired creepers. The key with a chunky shoe is to stick with a slim leg silhouette like a fitted skirt or skinny jeans.

These perfectly perforated oxfords have the look of a running shoe with some sophisticated touches thrown in to create a daring daytime look.
