Diy Mommy Makeover - Savvy shopping & suburban sass made easy - Tips for shopping for clothes

Hi! I’m Jamie Yasko-Mangum with Successful Style and Image, today on Expert Village I am going to teach you how to smart shop. How many times do you open your newspaper and you find all these publications, see all these publications? You know what we’re in a consumer’s marker that’s where the department stores, boutiques, design shops, everybody wants you to come and shop from them but guess what? How do you know where to go shop and you don’t want to spend a ton of money? Well let me tell you a good way to shop is looking at these, look at what is going on, look at all the different types of sales that are going on, extremely important with clothing. Next look in magazines, remember that style we were developing? That’s what you need to see what is out there, smart shopping, other places just smart shop there are a lot of stores out there that have a rewards programs, it’s not a credit card, it’s a ward program that they send you in the mail coupons only you know about and other people that are on the rewards program you get coupons, you can go in and buy clothes, there are many shops and department stores that do that now. Also do you remember when we mixed, matched and made outfit options? Did you have some clothes in your closet that you had absolutely nothing to go with? That starts your outfit option shopping list, so let’s say we have a top that we have absolutely nothing to go with, you would right it down on an outfit option worksheet and that would be your shopping list you would take to the department store because you’re not nonsense buying. Smart shopping is knowing what you’re going to buy that works back into your closet, that is very important. Now if you see something that’s a little expensive what you need to do is do a return on investment shopping, what that means is how much are you going to be wearing that pair of pants? How much are you going to be wearing that top? What you need to do is take the amount of the price of the top or the dress or the shorts or whatever category clothing it is divide it by the number of amount of times that you’re going to wear it, that’s how much it’s really going to cost each time you wear it and then it also works back in your closet with everything else that you have. So when you smart shop look at deals that are going wrong, sign up for those rewards program, do your outfit options, what do you need in your closet and have everything work back in the closet, wanted buy will give you it is always fun to nonsense shop, buy something that you don’t need, still spoil yourself and do that every once in a while but don’t dominate you clothes shopping to do that, thanks.
