It appears that the savings accounts and fashion, just do not mix. Anyone with an interest in the model design follows trends, and puts time on your required daily knows that it is almost impossible to go into a store, warehouse and empty-handed. Those who do not like the style and shopping all just do not understand. They say, "You can not get, oh, I dunno, do not buy these boots thick corner, I mean, you have shoes, they are not needed, you can not simply presented and leave the store?" And to them I say " You can not just eat today? "I mean, you've eaten before, probably no later than yesterday, so it should be good for a while. Can not you put the fork down and stop? "
In fact, diet is the perfect example of how we can buy smart. When one wants to lose weight and be healthy, not just stop eating. We eat better. We eat moderate portions, they consume fewer calories. If you are looking to save money, but we look at fashion and style up there in the list of his passions, there is no reason you have to stop. Just shop smart, and you can have both the savings account and a large closet. All you need is a little more organization. Try to stay away from the idea of buying, as spontaneous activity. Sorry, but as you can not finish a pint of Ben & Jerry's, you can not Frolic has a store in a frenzy of consumption.
1. Take an inventory of your pre-existing wardrobe. I know it sounds boring, but there are advantages. As in, will probably find things I had forgotten, and it is like to have something new - that's why they call it "buying a wardrobe Then write down everything you own in the categories: pants, jeans, sweaters, tanks, jackets, blouses , skirts, summer dresses, cocktail dresses - you get the idea. Now remember this list. Laminates and wear around your neck, if you must, somehow as a medical bracelet - and then when you buy for other people can see and respond: "Hey! Put this black baby doll dress down, it says here you have one! Even if you go to that extreme, not to keep this list somewhere accessible. Much of the money spent on the purchase finally, the questions which have very similar versions - What a mess!
2. Designers look for inspiration, not shopping. It's OK to splurge occasionally on a cardigan, Marc by Marc Jacobs, because let's be realistic. The quality is slightly better than average marks for retail trade. But who cheat should be about as often as cheesecake cheat on your diet. You must set your budget for the sport. His real MO must search design lines - the parades, the editorials of Vogue, their own websites - for inspiration. Learn to be able to extract ideas from the bonus of these trendlines. I promise that if a high end designer puts a big piece, the lower-priced brands produced similar pieces in a short time. You have to translate the design aspect. For example, Balenciaga spring 2009 runway, the models of the knee, gladiator sandals difficult. The cost of these shoes was astronomical. But it has given new impetus to the trend of the gladiators, and women were able to rock gladiators of the costs as low as $ 30.00 and $ 40.00 for other brands - and always fashionable, but not affected by the poverty after purchase.
Enjoy your favorite luxury brands, and aseita can challenge yourself to find these looks at more affordable shops. See how your spending ranges from a few months. If you do really well, crazy. Shoot the two features a year. It gives you something to look forward, but you will save more. Just remember to buy more timeless pieces of diving. Do not buy something super trendy, fashionable as it happens, and then you have something you've spent a lot of money that you can use. When you want something of a fad, they seem more affordable, Fashion Forward stores like H & M. If you want to splurge, sees things as handbags, bombas classic boots, cashmere sweaters, or little black dress - you get the idea.
3. Make a list of things you want in each season. I did this for a few seasons, and I can not say how much it helps. For example, I made a list for spring 2010. There are items like a trench coat, a dress with large flowers, with a draped chiffon skirt, white jacket has cut loop, open toes shoes. Tonprochaine step is to find these items, it is easier to do online. Discover how cheap you can find these items. I did some research, looked at ten different sites, and discovered I could get a good shelter for as low as $ 50.00. Now when you find these prices online, do not necessarily buy the object of this site. But the list does two things to help you save money: it is a reminder of what you want, so, naturally, eliminating a large sum of an impulse buy, remember that it had budgeted the money side of things you really want, and if you buy this piece pulse, you have to go through something on the list. The list also helps you remember the low price you can find the items. So now I know I can find shelter for $ 50.00, if I see some for $ 75.00, I will not buy it because I know I can do better.
4. It is obvious: the store sales and purchases. What is not clear, however, is how he can do. This is where the assets of online shopping purchases real person to save money. When you see something you really want to make sure that you can not find anywhere else first. I did a lot of shopping on a website, where the dresses were about $ 80.00 to $ 150.00. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a site that sells the dresses exactly the same - the same brand, all - for less than half price. It is so important to research their purchases.
In terms of sales, the media is really coming together to save websites / private sample sale. The best are ShopItToMe.com, GiltGroupe.com, RueLaLa.com, and Ideeli.com HauteLook.com. At these sites, you do not need to wait for what you want is the last season. I will not mention brands, but once made a few - great items - new in a department store because the price tag. The following week, my report ShopItToMe sent twice a week elements of all my favorite designer items on sale that day, and there were those who were sitting at the store for full price - and what site they were half off . A word of caution, do not join many of these sites, or have things happen every day!
5. Vintage. Especially now, the vintage is so hot. Perhaps the economic spirit that people thrifting and recycling may be the fashion to pay a fitting tribute to the magnificent silhouette, textures and trends of recent decades, but the best can faivolver of their familiarity with the culture of fashion is the vintage shop, and the best part is that it is (usually) cheaper. You will receive a unique event, the quality of conversation, from parts of less than creative items. Check your local game stores, and shopping online, look at eBay and Etsy.
And, of course, to be reasonable. Be sure to buy your own style. Actually, before buying. Do not buy something just because it looks good, even if it's just affection. Must be something that really will use. I see beautiful boho dresses all the time, but you know what? I live in New York and the daily wear black. Can you see me on the street peasant chiffon dress? No, then I will not lose my money. If you stick to your lists and style, and shop, you can have an incredible wardrobe and still rent.
