How to Shop Smart

If you take a glance at your wardrobe, what do you see?...

Do you see an expertly edited wardrobe with versatile pieces of clothing in your perfect hues that you can create ample outfits with while ensuring you look and feel great?

If you are like most women, a functional wardrobe can seem like a mere dream that we always desire but never quite achieve… that is until now!

So, what is my stylist solution?

A little thing I like to call ‘Shopping Smart’ and today I am going to show you how to put the joy and judiciousness back into shopping as I share 3 simple stylist steps.

Step 1: It’s time for some spring cleaning! 

Brush through your wardrobe pulling out anything that leaves you feeling dull, that still has the price tags attached or that you haven’t worn in the last 2 years… and be relentless ladies! Don’t let sentiment get the better of you and send it on its way! (To the recycle shop of course!)

Now the emotional part is over, you are able to clearly identify the gaps in your wardrobe… which brings me to my second step.

Step 2: Once you have identified the gaps, its important that you answer these 3 questions before you make your way to the shops…

  • What do you need/want? (the item)

  • Why do you need/want this item? (the occasion and its purpose)

  • How will you style this item? (no more buyers remorse!)

Always consider how to style your new pieces. Styling warm tones with a floral blouse and oh-so-now gold heels.

Step 3: Now you have planned ahead, you are ready to inject a little newness into your wardrobe without wandering aimlessly around store after store… but always remember to try each item on! If you don’t try before you buy you run the risk of reviving the cycle of a full wardrobe with nothing to wear!

Okay ladies, now it’s over to you… Wishing you all the best of luck!
