Tips for shopping on a dime:
Never buy “JUST” because it is on sale. Ask yourself, did you love it full price? Have you had your eye on it? If so, then snatch it up! Otherwise, you will end up with a closet full of items you will never wear!
If you have the chance to go in-store, try it on. Not just the size you think you are, but one up and one down. You never know how it will actually hang on your curves compared to the hanger.
In the store, if something is damaged that can easily be repaired, do not hesitate to ask for 10-15% off. Usually, that is the most an associate can do, but it never hurts to ask!
Think alterations. If you love it and it needs a few tweaks, never dismiss the length, the sleeves, or the fit in the waist. Take it to your loving and talented tailor and have it reworked just for you!
Lastly, when you are shopping, make sure you know what is already in your closet. SO if that means you need to take inventory (perfect time at the start of the new season), then do it to prevent five black shift dresses from sitting there, staring you in the face!
