10 Trendy Shopping Tips
1) Yesterday Is In
The whimsical vintage looks of yesterday are once again appearing on the runways. Pick a decade, any decade! The 50s, 60s, and 70s influences are appearing in the mall. Choose your favorite time period and incorporate some of yesterday's classic pieces into tomorrow's next big trend!
2) Try A Funky Color Combo Like Pink & Brown
When I was a young girl, my Mom told me never to wear pink and red together. Who says we have to follow the color rules? Fashion today is screaming that wild colors are in. So go for what you like! Try a funky color combo like pink and brown, or gray and pink.
3) Know Where To Find What You Want
It's important to become familiar with who sells what, where you can find the best quality and how much money you'll be spending.
Discount stores like TJ Max & Marshall's sell brand names for discount prices. You can spend less money there than you would walki into a brand name store. But, it can also be harder to find what you want if searching for a specific piece. These sale stores make the shopping experience feel like a sophisticated garage sale. It's a classy step up from Goodwill, but if you like treasure hunts, you can find some real deals!
Brand name stores like Gap & Banana Republic are pricier, but may make it easier to find what you're looking for if you have a specific item in mind.
Target & Wal-mart are discount department stores which offer low prices and only provide the clothes their companies and labels make.
Department stores like Macy's & Sears provide their own brand names at a pretty good price. The stores themselves are sometimes fancier, cleaner and all around nicer.
4) Purchase In The Off Season
Savvy shoppers know that going bargain hunting for the pieces they need in the off season will save them a chunk of change! For example, in the fall, check out the clearance rack to begin putting together next year's summer wardrobe! Do the same in the summer, when those winter clothes are on sale. You'll be amazed by how much money you can save!
