The one thing I'm still perplexed about is gaining traffic. I don't know how to do it and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I have used FB Ads in the past. I have Google Shopping currently. I use Ad Words currently. I give out free items to fashion bloggers. I post regularly on instagram, twitter, fb, google + and tumblr. I blog on my website. I use other free marketing tools such as online forums, wheretogetit, and more.
Still nothing.

If you don’t offer compelling, differentiated experiences, your current customers will research, look, purchase, and become loyal elsewhere.-- Robert Rose & Carla Johnson from Experiences: The 7th Era of Marketing
