How To Get What You Want When You Shop  

Do you get what you want when you shop? Or do you bring lots of stuff home that you end up returning?  Before you hit the stores looking for spring and summer clothes take a few minutes to look over the shopping hints I've provided  

Here are 5 shopping hints that will help you come home with
clothing items that are real bargains that will make you look
and feel good.

  #1. Know exactly what you need. Take inventory of
your clothing and write a list of items that will expand your
wardrobe - a  top that you can wear with five other items
in your closet.

  # 2. Buy only what you need. If you have five white
t-shirts that are in good condition and exactly the same cut
you probably don't really need another one.

  # 3. If you are working with a budget stay away from
that great plaid, flowery or embellished bag if most of your
wardrobe is patterned and none of the colors in the bag match
the clothing you already have.

  #4. Don't be seduced by a low price. Rember what I said last week?
No matter how expensive it was if it doesn't fit don't buy it. You might find the best looking designer jacket at a low, low price but if it's
the wrong color or it doesn't suit your body type you will not
likely wear it. 

  #5. Shop prepared. If you are shopping to find a blouse
to match a certain pair of pants, wear the pants shopping. Or
if you are buying a skirt wear heels or take an appropriate pair
of shoes with you to get a better idea of how the skirt will look.

  #6 Shop only when you have lots of time, you're rested and you feel good. If you are rushed, feel there is something else you should be doing or you don't feel you're best you won't make wise purchases. Make shopping a good experience. Have fun!
