barefoot dreams

What prompts a buyer to buy? I tired a cardigan once and returned. It was like a pj cover up. Today I saw a lounge/beach cover up, on sale for 109$, wow. that material is same as in store for reasonable prices. That vendor must be rich

I have one of their blankets but that's all. I do love the blanket. The vendor is big on promoting they're from Malibu but everything is made in China.

@matty liz I consider myself a thrifty shopper. I rarely, if ever, buy anything full price. When I was in an Economics class and the teacher said full price is considered the "sucker" price for retailers, it has stuck with me.

I have to say though, I have 40+ sweaters and wraps. I have one Barefoot Dreams Ultra Lite cardigan. Oh my, it's like none of my others. I love it so much I am sometimes afraid to wear it because I don't want it to get ruined. It is so soft and comfortable.

What prompted me to buy it you ask? That is a great question and I'm really not sure other than it was a great deal, had great reviews and they must have caught me in a weak moment. However, one of the best purchases I have ever made. Sometimes one quality item at $100 is better than 3 lesser quality items at $30 or so.

We had such a cold cold wet winter in CA this year. I lived in my two Barefoot Dreams robes. I have many other pieces of BD that I just don't wear very oftan. I have two of the throw blankets that are wonderful and the only extra piece we need on the bed to be toast warm.

I love the fabric, the color palettes and the styles--that's why I buy BD for myself and for gifts. Everyone I have ever given a cardigan, blanket or wrap to loves them.

I have one sweater and one throw. I won't be buying anymore. Have given them as gifts and they all liked them.

I have maybe thirty pieces and a few pieces of Malibu knit. My teenage son has a few pieces from the men’s line. I like the fabrics and the colors and it fits my lifestyle.

It might not be for you and that’s ok.

I'd like to know who, in April, is buying sweaters in a year that could easily be one of, if not THE, hottest on record?

QVC seems to have a lucrative, if repeative, contract with this company with seemingly Daily presentations.

@Kachina624 Raising hand as to who needs a sweater in April. 😁

It snowed up here on Monday. Just flurries. My furnace is running. It's 45 degrees out today.

I have maybe 12-15 pieces of BD. Love the ones I kept. I did return a few.

The high today where I live is 64 degrees and a perfect day for a BD sweater.

I have a few BD sweaters/cardigans and I am also a thrifty shopper looking for good deals as @cjm61 explained so well.

@Kachina624 ME for one. We don't all live in the same part of the country. I live in the Northeast and we still have cool weather. Yesterday was 85 today 50. I tend to wear BFD pretty much all year round.

Everyone has there own loves and hates....that is one thing that is great about QVC and other retailers. A variety. I happen to love Barefoot Dreams. However I rarely buy it at full price. I look for sales whenever possible. Also for me I dislike Logo. I don't like the styles or price. However others LOVE Logo. And I respect that. And hopefully they respect my love for barefoot dreams. We need the variety to keep everyone happy.

i used to love the brand, but they shed on and into every piece of clothing, lint is in my washer and you cannot remove the shiny lint out of your clothes.

i have returned all the Ultra Light, now the cozy chic lite is shedding on and into my other clothes in the wash cycle. even with repeated drying cycles/air-no heat, and a lint roller, i cannot remove the shiny lint.

Take your pieces out in the sun and you will see all the sparkle. it is very tiny, but it is there.

I for one, am done with BFD. For what they charge, it is highway robbery!

Their customer service (BFD) not QVC is disgraceful and i have to say i now regret all the $$ i spent on this brand.

Wash & dry your pieces w/o other clothes is u want to preserve your other clothes. and wipe out your washer, because its in there as well and will transfer to your next load.

@hkrgrl I have to admit that hasn't happened to me and I have many BFD.
