It’s that time of year for summer sales and promotions; use them wisely!
The best shopping is bargain shopping — but it’s not just about getting a discount or buying three pieces of clothing for the price of two! We shop best when we buy things that are suitable for many occasions. Ideally, our new clothes should last, and be durable, comfortable, and easy to adapt even when our figure and popular fashion trends change. How can we shop to accomplish those goals?
Pick your colors
Before you head to the stores, look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself which dresses and shirts bring you the most compliments. Don’t just think about which colors you like, because there are always some colors we love to look at, but shouldn’t wear, because they don’t look great on us. Think about which colors really look good on you — even if they may not be your favorites. Now you know what colors to shop for, and this will make it easier to focus as you go through the sales racks. Avoid experimenting with new colors and patterns; if you wear stripes or polka dots and you feel okay in them, keep buying them, but if you’ve never put on anything of that sort, don’t risk it now. It’s better to have another white shirt in the closet (purchased on sale) than an item you’ll never put on because of its color or pattern
