Fall Fashion 411
-Written by our BusinessMom of the week - Lori Stein
Fall fashion is here! What does that mean for you while you're still sweltering in the Georgia heat? Well, it means that there are sales all over the place on great summer styles. Even being the crazy fashionista that I am, I'm a huge fan of buying a season ahead for CERTAIN items. Here are some basic guidelines to follow:
Fall fashion is here! What does that mean for you while you're still sweltering in the Georgia heat? Well, it means that there are sales all over the place on great summer styles. Even being the crazy fashionista that I am, I'm a huge fan of buying a season ahead for CERTAIN items. Here are some basic guidelines to follow:
ONLY BUY BASICS. When shopping the sales, buy some of the timeless basics that might be missing from your wardrobe. For instance, a great white trouser or summer wrap dress. This is the time that you may want to invest in those pieces that would not normally fit into your budget. These are the pieces that will stand the test of wardrobe time. Stay away from those trendy items that may look like a bargain now but will only serve to make you look and feel outdated next summer.
DON'T OVER BUY. I know that it's easy to get carried away with the bargain prices. But make sure to go shopping with a list of things that you need. Just like at the grocery store, a list will keep you focused and will prevent you from a bunch of impulse purchases which end up breaking your budget.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK. There are so many sales and bargain websites out there these days. Make sure that you have checked out prices online before hitting the stores. Know what that item is typically going for around town to avoid being sucked into a faux bargain. Plus, often the online price of an item is different than in the store. Sometimes the bigger bargain is in the store and sometimes it's online. Shop smart.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK. Did you find exactly what you are looking for only they don't have your size or the color that you want? Ask a sales associate if they can locate it and ship it to you. I find that very few people utilize sales associates for this service and it really saves time. A lot of stores will ship to your home for free if they don't have the item in stock.
AVOID NON-SALE ITEMS. As great as that new sweater calling your name from across the store appears to be, rest assured that it will most likely be marked down once if not twice before the temperatures will allow you to wear it. Wait it out.
Happy shopping!
