Tips 4 Getting Perfectly Dressed 4 Less
All the Spring & Summer fashions are in the stores, and as tempting as it is to throw caution to the wind and just dive in to do some major "retail therapy" in order to get a little mood boost, think in terms of saving money by planning ahead, and following these simple rules: NO IMPULSE BUYING Before you begin shopping for the new season, take an inventory of your closet and make a list of things you need. Armed with that information, you will likely purchase fewer items--but they will expand and update your existing wardrobe. You will have more options, and have spent fewer dollars. BUY QUALITY Initially, they cost more per piece. However, they will wear better, last longer and ultimately cost less than inferior merchandise. INVEST IN CLASSIC STYLES They blend season to season without looking dated. To add a touch of "Wow", allow yourself one great trend piece each season to update your classics. MIX AND MATCH Buy a few pieces that coordinate to make multiple outfits, and be sure to purchase pieces that will work with some of your existing pieces in order to really extend your wardrobe. WORK AROUND ONE OR TWO CORE COLORS THAT LOOK GREAT ON YOU When you work your wardrobe around a core color or two colors--black, for example--you can select add-ons as updates without buying a whole outfit. For example, an optic print skirt with a basic black tank top and jacket. Also, you'll need fewer accessories. STAY ON SOLID GROUND Solid separates mix and match more easily and are less recognizable than prints; thus, they usually can be worn much more often than memorable statement pieces. Add touches of prints (plaids, florals, animal, and stripes) to jazz things up! We all need a little "perking up" of our wardrobes around this time of year. So go shopping, have a good time, but keep your wits about you. HAPPY SPRING! 0 comments from 0 users
