Get a free Personal SALE Shopper at Covet.com

I just checked out a really awesome new website called covet.com. When you first go to the site you immediately start taking a quiz called the Stylizer where you continue to choose between two stylish images until the program has “learned your style.” When you’re done you can look at your results and add more pics until your personal style has been perfected. Then you tell the Stylizer what styles and colors you dislike and the brands you prefer. Finally, you add your budget for each clothing category. When all is said and done, Covet will send you emails daily or weekly to alert you when items consistent with your style and price go on sale either in store or online.

It was really more fun than I thought it would be! I loved choosing between all the fashion pics and editing my style profile! Here’s my results:

Classic Glam

Contemporary Preppy

I put a max price on bags and shoes at $250 and tops, bottoms, dresses, etc at $100. The Stylizer knows I don’t like platform heals and turtleneck tops.
Within the next week I should start getting my personalized alerts and I can’t wait to see all the sales!! Try out covet.com’s Stylizer yourself by clicking on the link below. I hope you have as much fun as I did! When you’re done, come back and tell me your style profile. I can’t wait to see!
