Untapped Resources: Avon

Avon has made a bazillion dollars off of its cosmetics and skincare products. But Avon addicts know that the company also sells all kinds of stuff: holiday decorations, jewelry, bags, shoes, underwear, knicknacks, lingerie, clothes, etc.. Not everything Avon sells is the height of fashion but every now and then it sells some cute outfits, tops, and skirts through its main catalogue or through its popular teen/young adult catalogue, Mark.

The regular catalogue features clothes, pajamas, and underwear in both misses and women's (plus) sizes. The misses sizes usually go up to 16 or 18. The Mark catalogue has offered tops up through juniors' size 17 or XL. Recently I noticed a top was available in XXL.

As with most Avon products, the prices are reasonable, more often than not under $35. The quality is more or less what you'd expect for the price.
