Ways to Look Good without Selling Your Soul to the Credit
Card Sharks
1. Buy clothes at thrift stores. BEFORE you buy them, however,
hold the clothing to the light to make sure there are no tears,
check the seams under the arms, make sure the buttons are all
there, and don't buy anything that you can't try on.
2. Never buy anything that doesn't fit.
3. Find out what your colors are and only buy those colors. I
attended a workshop to figure out that I am a Winter and then I
only bought clothes that look good on Winters. If I buy clothes
that are not those Winter colors, I won't wear them because I
know subconsciously that they do not flatter me. As an added
bonus, when you wear the colors that are harmonized with your
skin tone, you often have more energy, are calmer and look
younger.
4. Go through your wardrobe to determine what clothes you need
to buy, make a list, place the list in your purse or wallet, and
ONLY buy the items that are on the list.
5. Know the values of clothing. Many "sales" are not bargains
at all.
6. If you have children who are growing quickly, buy their
clothing at a thrift store.
7. Only buy good quality clothing which will last a long
time.
8. Buy a can of starch, and iron your business shirts as
opposed to paying over a dollar to a dry cleaner that uses a
harsh pressing machine.
9. Buy tie spray to protect your costly silk ties and
scarves.
10. Buy clothes at the end of a season when they are on sale
as opposed to the beginning of the season.
11. Buy clothes with neutral colors (gray, white, navy blue)
that will go with anything that you have in your existing
wardrobe, so that you won't have to buy new clothes to complement
your new purchase.
12. Buy and wear only comfortable shoes and save money on
doctors and chiropractors.
