Unclaimed Mail: Counterfeit Clothing

 Today’s unclaimed‑mail haul came with a little bit of cute and a whole lot of questionable. This batch included:

  • A tiny red one‑piece

  • A “Ralph Lauren” sweatsuit

  • A “Victoria’s Secret” sweatsuit

Both designer items were very obvious counterfeits. The decals said Ralph Lauren and Victoria’s Secret, but the fabric was cheap polyester, the stitching was rough, and the tags read Made in China. Not exactly the luxury experience they were pretending to be.

Counterfeits are pretty common in unclaimed mail, but these two weren’t even trying to hide it.

Thrift Store Haul — St. Barnabas Cares

 


Today’s post is a little different, but absolutely worth sharing. My favorite local thrift store, St. Barnabas Cares Clothing Thrift Store, had a huge sale last week and every single item in the store was just $1.

For $26, I walked out with an entire wardrobe, accessories included.

What I love most about St. Barnabas is that their prices are always amazing. They never charge more than $5 for anything, even on regular days. All proceeds go directly to the church food bank, helping local families right here in Cape May County.

Not only am I a regular customer, but I also bring them tons of donations, including any mystery‑box items that aren’t claimed by my family or coworkers. Nothing goes to waste, and everything helps someone.

Check out some of the items in the video, and if you live in or ever visit Cape May County for vacation, make sure you stop by St. Barnabas Cares. It’s one of those hidden gems that makes the community better.

Unclaimed Mail - Luck of the Irish ☘️

 Today Heather opened a fresh batch of unclaimed mail, and it delivered a little bit of everything.

First up was a shamrock shirt which was festive, cute, and perfect for anyone who celebrates St. Paddy’s Day year‑round.

Next, she pulled out a car organizer, and finally, a gothic shirt that brought the perfect touch of moody, energy to the whole haul.

Another day, another round of unclaimed‑mail surprises, and Heather always makes it fun.

Unclaimed Mail - Pretty in Pink


First up in today's return mail was a pink winter jacket, super cute and surprisingly good quality.

Next, we pulled out a glasses holder. And
finally, the wildcard of the day was a long brown wig. Heather and I both tried it on. Just another day in the world of unclaimed mail. Always random, and always entertaining.

What makes mini dresses so popular?

 Going out mini dresses was one of the main trends of the 90s. Since then, they have become a timeless classic that never goes out of style.

The reason is that they are not only comfortable and cool but also stylize the figure. This makes them feel good about all women, whatever type of body they have. The best proof of this is a dress with this cut that we have found at Solado. And it is so beautiful and flattering that it has become one of the brand's great successes.

Dare to wear minidresses:

In your closet, you cannot miss this strong garment this season, which between the sensual and innocent will make you look spectacular.

The so-called mini-dress is a garment that you should not stop using for anything. With a sensual and innocent air, its preparation in wool, cotton, chiffon, or crochet with bows and necklines below the chest or in a V, will give you a romantic touch that will accentuate your silhouette.

Our favorite one is the black maxi cut out dress, which creates a very original gathered effect. The straps are thin and can be adjusted to suit your needs. The straight neckline manages to enhance the chest and accentuate the curves, but without providing extra volume. Therefore, it fits well regardless of whether you have a large or small chest.

It's made of a linen-blend fabric and has an inner lining that makes it very comfortable. The closure is by zipper, which is hidden in the back seam.

To complete the outfit, it is best to opt for flat sandals in black or white. You will not need anything else to succeed in the last weeks of summer. Of course, as long as you manage to get hold of it: it has been so successful that some sizes are already sold out.

A provocative and naive garment:

From the popular model of the 60s, Twiggy, to the protagonists of the Gossip Girl series, all women who love fashion fall in love with the charms of mini dresses.

With a mix of insinuation, provocation, and ingenuity, today these garments are made in all colors, patterns, and fabrics, and have unique details such as sequins, embroidery, or fringes.

Although the most classic ones are empire cut out mini dresses, under the chest, there are round or square openings and V-necklines, very flattering for women with a large bust, since they show off their breasts a lot.

A model for every woman:

Very low-cut minidresses are usually worn at night, although if they are worn with a t-shirt underneath, they become the most trendy and flattering outfit during the day. This single garment becomes two and thus the perfect look is achieved both for going out and going to the office.

They are made of various materials such as light fabrics in fluorescent colors, reminiscent of what women of the 50s wore in their day. Some show hippie airs that give them a subtle and sweet touch and others have eighties prints, lace, or straps.

The sexiest are those that display childish touches, such as a round neckline reminiscent of kindergarten uniforms or honeycomb embroidery on the chest, like a little princess.

The sleeves are another important detail of the minidresses. There are long-sleeved ones, which are usually worn with turtlenecks or three-quarter sleeves for the V-neck and are ideal for day and night. They can be worn with a short jacket or sweater.

The babydoll minidress with straps is for the most daring who want to look spectacular.

The size of the dress is very important depending on its shape: straight, flared, or with volume and should be chosen depending on the occasion and the body of each woman.


Tips to show off your minidress:

To wear this outfit correctly, follow these tips:

- If you have thick legs, you can combine them with black or gray leggings to hide the effect.

- If it is very short and looks more like a long blouse than a short dress, wear it with thick socks.

- If the length of the dress is just above the knees, you can wear it without stockings.

- Babydoll dresses look cute with flats or ballerinas with straps, to coquettishly encircle your legs. Another option is to combine them with flat boots without a heel.

- If your style is more tender and feminine, wear round-toe high heels.

Great tips for wearing short dresses:

Dresses are beautiful garments that without a doubt cannot be missing from our wardrobe. That is why, in this case, we are going to give you various great tips so that you always dress making the most of your attributes, in this case, your beautiful legs.

- Short dress and Boots: If you are not very tall and you are going to wear boots with a dress, it is not advisable because they take away your height. That is why we recommend using other types of footwear.

- Short dress and sneakers: Come on girls, we know that while you want to be original, this is not going to work. Some rules must be respected and wear sneakers with a dress, we know that it is not "nothing" pretty, so do not do it if you have ever done it.

- Short dress and ankle boots: A very good idea if what you want is to refresh your image. Not bad at all to give something different and “chic” to your look.

- Short dress and blouse: Although it is something that is normally used, try a transparent blouse, that will undoubtedly give you a sexy and very fresh look.

- Short dress and heels: One of the best ways to wear a short dress. We recommend it.

- Short dress and sandals: It is a very fresh style that is generally the best if it is spring or summer.

Last Minute DIY Halloween Costumes - From zulily


Halloween is only one week away…but have no fear because last-minute costume ideas are here.  Online retailer zulily has compiled some fun and quick women’s DIY costume ideas, sure to bring uniqueness to any ghoulish or ghostly bash!
Sarah Ward, zulily’s Lead Editorial Stylist (bio below), has compiled some of her favorite costume ideas, utilizing items straight from you or your friend’s closets, to save both time and money during this busy time of year.  Here are a few of our faves.

Deer
A faux fur vest with a neutral colored outfit make the best staples. To complete the look, add an antler headband created from foliage in your backyard or with artificial flowers.




Rosie the Riveter
A chambray shirt and jeans are all you need! To finish the look, just add a red bandana in your hair and top it off with some powerful red lips.



Sushi
An all-white outfit is the foundation for your “rice.” Tie a pink/orange ‘sashimi’ pillow with a simple black scarf around your waist. Add some green and pink flowers to your hair as “ginger” and “wasabi” and voila!


As Lead Editorial Stylist, Sarah manages a team of women’s stylists on zulily’s Editorial Studio team, responsible for producing on- and off-model imagery to create a visually compelling customer experience.

zulily is the only online retailer that launches 9,000 products, in 100 limited-time sales, to our 6.1M active customers each and every day, at incredible prices – so we know what it takes for someone to be a “savvy online shopper.” That’s why zulily uncovered in a recent poll which female celebrities Americans think are the “most-savvy” online shoppers and the results are in…



The ever-lovable Ocean’s 8 star Sandra Bullock topped the charts (24%), followed shortly after by the sexy screen stealer Jennifer Lawrence (18%), and then daytime TV phenom Kelly Ripa (16%).

 She may be the “newest Royal” but Americans aren’t so sure Meghan Markle has what it takes to still be a “savvy online shopper.” The Duchess of Sussex ranked 6th from a list of female celebs, falling behind Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Lawrence, Kelly Ripa, Chrissy Teigen and Hoda Kotb.*



Want to dress like a celeb but stick to your budget? In honor of savvy-shoppers everywhere, zulily JUST unveiled the news about our first-ever zulily Thrill Week to bring a whole week of “wow!” with exclusive deals from boutique and beloved brands, all at unbelievable prices.
