My Shop Smart Tips

Have you ever needed to do a overall closet haul and went on a major shopping spree..then got home and still felt like you had “nothing to wear”? Um, maybe it is just me, but this used to happen to me ALL the time until I decided to get smart about my shopping trips!!!

1. Get Staples, its okay to splurg on these items:: 

Crisp White Tee

Great pair of skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, and boot cut jeans

Spring: neutral pair of wedges, peep toe, and sandals Fall: Neutral pair of boots, flats and high heels.

A great blazer

Solid color maxi

Pencil Skirt

Clutch, Hobo, and a Structured Satchel

Perfect pair of sunnies! 

Shop on Thursday evenings and Friday mornings. Most shop’s, like Old Navy and Banana Republic typically mark down prices Thursday evenings for the weekend madness!

Take inspiration pictures. Stay focused on the looks you are wanting to achieve so you don’t get side tracked!

Here is a secret I have learned. If you online shop and fill your cart with your “Wish List” and leave it there for a few days, they will typically send you a 10 to 20% coupon to complete your purchase!! Cha-Ching!!!

Check care labels! I am much less likely to buy something if it says it has to be dry cleaned! (Dry Clean = a purchase you never pay off)

Try affordable stores for your more trendy items, such as Forever 21, H&M, and Nordstrom Rack even TJ Maxx. You don’t want to spend a fortune on pieces you wont wear next year, or even next month!

When in doubt go for stripes! They are versatile and so very classic! They look great mixed with almost any other print such as floral’s for this spring!
