Victoria\u2019s Secret is like the Holy Grail of sexy. Maybe it\u2019s because your BFFs Alessandra Ambrosio and Chanel Iman are there to shop with you, or maybe it’s because you somehow always look so good in the dressing room mirrors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whatever it is, a girl could blow a lot of money in the famed retailer, but not necessarily on the right items. Get the most out of your Victoria’s Secret shopping experience with these tips.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Victoria\u2019s secret shopping hacks<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Get sized first<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A very sweet sales attendant is waiting near the dressing rooms with measuring tape in hand to make sure you select the right bras for you. A shocking number of women are buying the wrong size, so before you fill your dressing room (or online shopping cart) with ill-fitting bras, ask for help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"T\r\n

After she fits you, she\u2019ll even bring you a selection of bras that cater to your specific needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Online vs. In-store<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you know you want to buy something from VS, always check prices both online and in-store. They tend to be different, and you don’t want to pay more than is necessary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You only have to worry about shipping<\/a> costs if you’re spending less than $100 \u2014 and sometimes not even then. The online store sometimes offers seasonal free shipping deals. Right now (July 2019), there are two such deals posted on the site. You can get free shipping on anything in the new fall collection with code PREVIEWSHIP or you can get free shipping on orders of $50 or more with code SHIP50.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Shop the semi-annual sale (Now)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If $50 seems like too much for a bra, shop the semi-annual sale to get that bra for $15. The sale shows up in stores in June and December and usually lasts for two weeks in-store.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Green\r\n

But here’s a little secret. Those fabulous sale prices hang around online for a little longer. It’s true! It’s July now and there are still semi-annual prices posted on the website. All the merch in this post is on sale, which means the time to move is now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Never pay full price<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You don\u2019t have to sign up for a store credit card to score exclusive deals. Victoria\u2019s Secret sends out crazy amounts of emails to loyal shoppers offering discounts on just about everything in the store. Sign up for their emails\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> online or in the store and save big. If you\u2019re patient, you\u2019ll never need to buy anything at VS for full price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Don\u2019t rush (Unless it\u2019s on sale!)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"Plunge\r\n
Lined Plunge Bra, $15 (on sale), Victoria’s Secret<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If it\u2019s the bra you\u2019ve wanted since you first saw it in the catalog and it\u2019s on sale, then by all means, get it before it\u2019s gone. If it\u2019s a sundress you saw online, don\u2019t feel the need to pounce. The apparel online tends to stick around awhile.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Even swimsuits stay around for years at Victoria\u2019s Secret. So if you\u2019re hard on cash, wait it out. It\u2019ll be there later.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Angel rewards<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As you’d expect, VS does have a rewards program. The downside is that it’s tied to a Victoria’s Secret credit card. We don’t love store credit cards, even the ones that give you perks \u2014 because that’s how they hook you into overspending.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Bombshell Wild Flower Velvet Body Cream, $3.99 (on sale), Victoria’s Secret<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

But if you always only shop for clothes, foundation pieces and beauty at Victoria’s Secret, the credit card is an option for you. You earn 1 point for each $1, and you can cash them in for a $10 or $15 cash reward<\/a> at 250 points.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Channel your inner Angel<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re like us, then you\u2019ve got your favorite VS Angel (we\u2019re often temped to buy something just because Alessandra\u2019s wearing it). Yes, they\u2019re gorgeous beyond reasonable measure, but Victoria\u2019s Secret models are so personable that it feels like they\u2019re at our level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can get to know them even better by checking out VS All Access. Candice shares what she thinks is sexy while Adriana shows you how to use the brand\u2019s new makeup palette. Plus, you can learn about all the ladies and the crazy shopping sprees and other prizes. If only for the fun of it, we think it\u2019s worth a few minutes of your time.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
