14 Tips for Shopping

Going shopping? Who doesn't like it? It is really wonderful to open our closets and find clothes that we feel dramatically, that are fashionable and that adapt to our bodies and tastes.

What you were waiting for! Read below some tips that will be of great help when shopping:

• "Splurge" by buying basic garments in neutral colors, then you can complement them and combine them with cheaper accessories. You can buy the former in quality clothing stores, and the latter in stores with lower-priced items.

• Select two or three basic neutral colors and build your closet around them. Take advantage of accessories to add color and give your clothes a personal touch.

• If you don't have enough money, go making a budget of what you are seeing and want to buy, you take notes or you can use your cell phone to take a photo of what you like. So you can do your calculations as you choose.

• Find out which stores sell the type of clothing you prefer, and familiarize yourself with them. If you visit them often (even if it is not always to buy), you will know where everything is and you will be able to make friends with the employees (who will tell you about special sales and maybe even let you know if they are going to discount an item you want).

• Don't rush to buy the first thing you see, however tempting it may be. Check first the clothes that are on sale in stores.

• Don't buy impulsively. Make a list before you go out and follow it so you don't lose control.

• It is always good to inquire about the brands or stores in the shopping centers. Sometimes we do not have enough time to tour all the stores. But today most brands and stores have social networks where you can find out about products and promotions.

• Don't buy clothes or shoes based on size alone (this often varies from manufacturer to manufacturer).

• Never stop trying on the items before deciding to take them, that when you get home you may not like how they fit.

• Put quality over quantity. When we see the sale notice in stores we go crazy and many times we do not analyze what we are buying. So you have to be very careful with this, since many times we buy clothes that we do not need later. It is preferable to buy something that is worthwhile. For example, one great jacket is better than two or three inferior ones.

• It is preferable that you choose clothing made of fabrics that you can wear throughout the year (silk, cotton, etc.). This way you can get more out of your clothes.

• Before buying a garment, ask yourself these questions: Is it versatile? Do the style and color match the rest of my clothes? Will it look good with at least two of the clothes I have in my closet?

• We must be careful when buying clothes when they are in discounts, that this happens due to collection changes, due to a drop in sales, because they have imperfect items. Most of the discounted clothes are not returnable, so you should take good note that what you are buying is in excellent condition.

• When you go shopping, it is essential that you dress comfortably so that the day of shopping serves as an anti-stress therapy. Ideally, you should dress casually, that is, comfortable shoes that you can easily take off and put on, shorts, joggers, and if you like dresses you can also dress with them.

• Probably sometimes you say: that store is ugly, I don't like it or it doesn't suit my style, stop being prejudiced and enter you never know what you can find.
