Before you go shopping, here are a few things I would like
for you to consider. First of all, slow down :). If you are like me once you
get an idea in your head you are ready to act upon it. In stores this is called
impulse shopping and they like nothing better than an impulse buyer.
As you get ideas for
new outfits, keep in mind that you will only be buying items in your personal
seasonal colors and basic colors. If you stick to that rule, after a while you
will see how they will start matching up and compliment your current wardrobe.
Remember to make sure what you are purchasing is flattering to your figure and
style. Bring along a best friend for a second opinion.
Before you leave the
house, decide what you are looking for. Browsing fashion magazines, the internet
and online boutiques are great places to begin. Once you have a plan, don't
become overwhelmed in the stores. Stick to your plan. Sure, I agree it is not
easy. With the lure of sales, endless promotions and discounts, it makes it
tempting to run out a buy on sale. I have purchased clothes because of the discounts
in the past and most of them were only worn a couple of times before I realized
that they were not becoming on me. I found that buying more solids is easier on
my budget because it makes putting outfit together a snap.
You also want to
consider how much room you have in your closet. Next post will be filled with
storage ideas and tips to maximize you space and properly care for you clothes
and accessories. Until then, enjoy window shopping!
