The Urge to Bankruptcy


Fashion is not a word we throw around every day. It's a symbol of uniqueness and popularity. The spring is here and the summer is on the way, so has the urge hit you? The desire to trade in your long sleeves and boots in for a new style. I know the urge has hit me, but I am to spend my money wisely and so should you. I am here to give you tips and advice on how to catch the bargains.
Many stores have advertisements to grab your attention and lure you into the store. But, do the stores tell you the truth about the clothing? My guess is NO! I am not telling you, that you can't go shopping because I absolutely love and adore shopping. Just be careful what you decide to bring to the checkout line.
Trust me, I knew once you walk through those doors it’s just like you’re a kid in a candy store. The different colors and designs, makes you want to try on absolutely everything.
However the economy is down and a lot of people are out of jobs. So, it is time to put down the expensive bag and shop smartly. What am I talking about?
For one, know what you want before you even walk in the store. For example, you’re going to a party on Saturday and you want to find a nice outfit. Decide if you want it to be casual or formal; if you want it to be a dress or pants. By, deciding what you want before you go, saves time and you won't walk around the store, being tempted to buy different garments.
Secondly, do not, I repeat do not, go to the expensive racks. The same things that are on those racks are mostly likely going to have the same version or a similar version on the clearance rack. By, taking a walk to the clearance racks, you’re making a life time change. You’re saving money for the present as well as the future.
Last and third step, decrease the items you buy. You don't have to go you the store and buy 20 items. (Just breathe in and out.) Put a price range on how much you want to spend. Also, if you put a price range, please do not go over your budget. And, if it helps you should leave your credit cards at home and bring cash.
Shopping can be extremely fun and it also can be aggravating. It depends on how you decide to shop. If you follow those three steps, it will be a new fun experience. Remember, shopping can be your best friend or your nightmare. You chose what you want it to be!
