Budget Shopping tips


I love fashion! But the question always is do we really need to spend more money on fashion?? Or when buying clothes, does price really matters? For me, fashion is not just all about price, brand, or the latest trend we have now.. But you can always create your own fashion..that would not cost you much..You can always be fashionable in a practical way..The following are the 5 budget shopping tips:

1. Look out for Sale schedules – Shopping on sale is fun! You can find a lot of good quality clothes and stuff that's right for you in a reasonable price.

2. Know what looks good on you- Just because it looks great in a magazine doesn’t mean it will look great on you. Be honest with yourself about your body. It will save you time and money.

3. Leave credit cards at home - This is the very important tip.. I've experienced it myself..Bringing a credit card with you all the time is dangerous. The biggest temptation you can't resist when you have credit card is buying anything you want without any control. Paying with cash gives you an instant visual indication of how much you’re spending.

4. Head to the outlet malls - Shopping at the outlets of your favorite stores and designers can save you a bundle. Here you can find good stuffs with good price. And that would suiit your budget.

5. Remember the 70/30 rule - Fashionistas with limited budgets should follow the 70/30 rule: 70% of your closet should be classic pieces, 30% trendy pieces. Go as cheap as possible on trendy items because they have a short closet lifespan.

So, how bout you? Do you spend a lot for fashion? Think twice and be a smart yet practical shopper..
