I love these trends. I just finished my spring shopping at Burlington Coat Factory. THey had great deals and I ended up saving about $100 on my shopping trip.
I love a good deal! ROSS is one of my favorite places to shop. Just like Burlington, you get a quality product that will last a long time at the same price or cheaper than you would pay at a department store.
