Of course when you are a commuter student and have multiple breaks in between your classes, with no dorm room or apartment to go back to, and you are just plain tired of school work, you always end up online shopping to pass the time. Well, that’s the case for me at least. I spend a lot of my time on my MacBook on campus, and it’s using Adobe software, social networking, or online shopping.

Recently, I’ve seen advertisements on Facebook for “JustFab.com.” As I’m scrolling through my news feed, this advertisement just keeps popping up and taunting me. It was telling me that all shoe styles (boots, flats, heels, wedges, sandals) were only $39.95 and always free shipping. It also informed me that you receive 20% off your first item. So obviously I clicked.

I really wanted a pair of chestnut colored boots with gold embellishments. I found where it listed the shoes, which was a bit confusing because it was under the drop down menu “Top Sellers,” along with “Handbags,” “Jewelry,” and “Denim.” Once I found the shoe department though, there were options of which type of shoes I was looking for, so automatically I clicked “Boots.” Once I clicked “Boots,” it gave me even more options on what type of boot I was looking for (like flat, ankle, knee-high, combat, wide calf). I was moreover looking for flat boots. I started scrolling down through the boots and what do you know? I found the perfect pair that I had imagined in my mind.

The thumbnails of each boot were very clear and when you roll your mouse over the image, the image changes to the boot being worn, which is extremely nice because you can see how high the boot goes on your leg, etc. I clicked on the “Buy now” button and I was easily able to view different angles of the boot, different colors, and reviews of the boot. I picked my size and clicked “Add to Bag.” A little pop up menu came up telling me that the item was waiting for me in my shopping cart. All I had to do was click the “X” in the corner and I could go right back to shopping, instead of some websites, where they leave you off in your cart so you cannot easily go right back to where you were shopping.

BUT, instead of shopping more, I went right to my cart and went through their easy payment process. I got 20% off my perfect pair of boots and also free shipping. They arrived in just under a week and fit perfectly (they do offer free exchanges also, just in case). I’d say it was a steal; quick and easy also.
