I just got an email that Chicos' site is 30% off.  I had held back on a top waiting for the monthly catalog's coupon.

I am "passport" so my shipping is free. I didn't notice the ceiling for SH.

@ECBG Yes I love Chico's!   I've said on here a couple of times that's where I've been purchasing most of my clothes (when I do buy clothes) the past year and a half!   The sales are great and yes passport free shipping, fantastic bargains!   I believe free shipping is normally at $99 but all you have to do is sign up for passport member and that's free too!  Plus I get email offers all the time.  Sizing is mostly consistent too, what a concept!  LOL, Enjoy Smiley Happy

@ECBG , I always have trouble with their sizing. If I order my correct size, the clothing is cut for someone petite in height. The sleeve length is never right.😢

 have never purchased Chico's fashions. too matchy matchy and the mirrors are outside the fitting cubical and theres always a SA ready to pounce and pester you with more outfits. and the sizing is weird.

 

maybe they changed the mirror placement and SA practice. haven't browsed the store in years.

@CatsyCline   Agree about the weird sizing.  I've been in a Chico's maybe a couple of times.  Put off by the sizing and nothing really caught my eye that I couldn't get elsewhere.

I started shopping in Chico's in the mid 90s - based on the recommendation of a friend to try their Travelers line.

 

They closed their store here so I only order online.  Great sales.  Particularly good for accessories.  

 

ETA:  Last time I was in Las Vegas - we drove out to the Chico's outlet - picked up some great jackets in their Travelers line.  (Spent all our winnings at Chico's.  Smiley Wink )

I think I may have bought one thing from them long ago.  Then I figured out it's not my style!  Woman Very Happy

 

There was another high end similar style--can't remember the name--that was mostly black and dark colors and geared toward work and travel, but their styles were similar.  I know @ECBG will remember that line!  

 

I am old and that was long long ago!  I had a few peices of that too but just never felt like it was me.  Now it's bugging me because I can't remember the name! Woman Embarassed

I was a loyal customer of Chico's in the '90's and bought the majority of my clothing there for quite a number of years. I always had trouble with pant sizing, but their tops, tees, blazers, and jackets were first rate. As for the sales persons, I found them helpful, and they often suggested an item or two I had overlooked or gave a suggestion on how to complete a look. Something changed about 10 or 12 years ago. I don't know if it was Chico's making a change or if I made a change. That is about the time I discovered Foxcroft and my life became less out and about.

 

I looked at the site when I saw the sale, but I really didn't need anything. I still have many of their pieces that are a part of my wardrobe because they are timeless and well-made.

Chicos is my go to and although I haven't been in their store in 4 years (3 hrs away) I definitely buy online and I buy their denim jackets on Ebay ( have about 8).  My latest jacket is SW and has an Anniversary label embroidered inside; its 38 years old! Chicos Ladies are very easy on their clothes so buying them 2nd hand is a no brainer!
