Shop Until You Drop!
The solution to the question of looking good for less is unusual: spend money. Chic doesn't come cheap, but on the other hand, it does last. By opting for classic, timeless chic, you will always be in style. All fashion houses specialise in certain items - suits, dresses, handbags - that never go out of style. Here are 10 shopping tips that you should never leave home without:  1) Take stock of your wardrobe - before buying ANOTHER little black dress 2) Avoid obviously trendy, flash-in-the-pan things - 3) - and if you HAVE to have it, don't spend more than a week's salary on it. 4) Always try clothes on, even if you're in a hurry. 5) Don't buy anything that itches. 6) Don't ever, ever buy anything that will only look good if you lose weight. Be realistic. 7) Size matters in the shoe department: don't buy them too big or too small. 8) Some women should not go shopping when premenstrual: they buy weird things like fringed turquoise boots which they later regret enormously. 9) Never revamp your wardrobe when you are having a bad day. 10) If you find something you love more than life itself, live on the edge - buy two! |
