Barefoot Dreams ... really?

Skyegirl21 — Sat, 07 Oct 2017 11:50:54 GMT

Yes, I am of the frugal sort, saving because my salary just decreased a lot, as a teacher. Their stuff is attractive and cuddly but the prices are a nightmare for my bank account! $124 for a casual poly hoodie? Can't afford it.

That is a lot to pay for a hoodie. You could buy a coat for that money.

I agree that their stuff is pretty ridiculously priced. I like it, but I never pay full price for it. Nordstrom Rack has it for half price a few times a year, including right now.

Another QVC overpriced clothing label. Not worth the cost. I ordered a item from this line and sent it back. Not a dream more like a nightmare.

Sorry Ladies, I am a huge fan. I bought Barefoot Dreams before they were on QVC and have always loved their items. The pieces I have bought have been very good quality and have lasted fore a number of years, so far.

They are on the higher priced side but they are not trendy (cold shoulder, camo, etc) so I don't need to worry about them going out of style and having to wait until it comes back around again. I never feel like the items look dated.

I am glad the Q have something for everyone

I bought the recent cardi that was the TSV. Loved it so much I went back for a 2nd color. Super soft, super cozy, well made. Love it!

@Skyegirl21 I feel your pain on the price tags in this line, certainly not worth what they charge for sure. I've seen this fabric in my local stores and it is NOT all that. I don't understand what this vendor thinks they have in this fabric they use.

Ms Skye, I was just looking at all of the throws the Q has online now since we're moving into the season of using our throws. This line has a few here priced in the hundreds of dollars!!!!! Are they kidding about this stuff????

I call this highway robbery. It's totally laughable.

@Skyegirl21 I agree with you about being frugal, but frugality comes in all sorts of prices, so I fully understand why QVC offers a decent range of prices for us to choose from.

I've lived through many, many years during which I necessarily owned little and bought little and budgeted very carefully. In some ways, I still make use of all I learned, but I've also learned that no one else can make me feel guilty about what I spend or how I choose to spend it.

So, right now in my hoodie collection (assuming there is such a thing), my two favorites came with wildly different prices: one cost maybe $5 at the thrift shop (I've already worn it for at least 5 years so I don't remember exactly) and the other was over $150 just last spring.

But - and to me this is so important - I could totally afford both of those hoodies when I bought them. I detest debt, so I would rather wear what I already own (jewelry included) than put something I can't afford that month on a credit card. My savings are for emergencies, not everyday wants or impulses. That's my frugality talking to me.

@Skyegirl21, I agree. I think their prices are on the high side. And, the other brand Anybody looks cheap to me. I personally do not run around in jogging pants and tops. I like hoodies but refuse to pay a high price.

Well, come on, they certainly aren't the only game in town! You can purchase womens' Faded Glory or Hanes hoodies at Walmart for $12 or less. Shop around.

Just went to Norstrom Rack an got a savings of 50% off of Barefoot Dreams. I'm a happy camper...thanks for the info.

QVCkitty1 — Sat, 07 Oct 2017 13:54:45 GMT

I bought the first BD. TSV, and it is ok, but not that great, I would never buy anything else from the line, the items are not worth the price.

Re: Barefoot Dreams ... really?

Love Barefoot Dreams!

QVC and every other retailer has price points for every budget.

@SFGIANTSGIRL

count me in as another one who absolutely LOVES this line of clothing! so glad that qvc is expanding their choices.

i am now hooked. i buy mine from here and from nordstrom.

excellent quality and so comfortable.

did you see the new hooded cardi today that is on a special price?

for the poster who said you can spend this much money on a coat......these can easily be worn as coats during certain times of the year. we had a particularly mild winter last year and it even worked for me then.

Both of these brands hold up well, IMO. I would rather purchase these brands then spend $125 for a hoodie with a "name" brand. Both are imported.

Can I afford this line...no, but I'm happy that others can & that they enjoy it. There are plenty of choices for everyone's taste & budget on the Q & thousands of other places to shop. The people buying this line or anything else you consider too expensive are not using your money to do it.

High prices are because ,Oprah" and "Hollywood" recommends B.D. ...................

Hey Sunshine

I saw that one this morning but by the time I saw it the xs was gone. I continued to watch the show and they did a second presentation and some of the xs popped back in stock so I grabbed the indigo. So cute. My office runs very cool in the winter and I love having BFD's as an option at my desk

@QVCkitty1 I also bought the TSV and totally agree with you. I am fortunate I can afford it but feel it's just not worth the price. JMO, and HSN has a Soft and Cozy line that is just as soft and comfy and 1/3 the price!!

Re: Barefoot Dreams ... really?

To each his own on what they choose to spend their $ on. If you like it and can afford it - enjoy it!! I wear all different price points of clothes. I have lots of Cuddl Duds that I love to wear and lots of Barefoot Dreams that I love to wear. Thankfully there’s something for everyone.
