Knowing the secret of fashion retail house is another important aspect
here, you should know when and where discount take places. What do you feel
when you bought an item and the following week, the item that you bought is on
the discount rack. As what the beautiful Andrea (from Hauteheel) said, “Personally
I have been inside fashion PR offices and that little price tag that they hang
there for fashion buyers are revealing of how high some department stores mark
up their goods. Of course this is natural profit and nothing new to anyone but
because wholesale prices are inaccessible to normal shoppers, it is always
worth waiting for sales which somewhat equalizes the base price from the retail
price.”
Look at her amazing Prada shoes, she got it from the Prada outlet
Buying discounted items is not something that is shameful
nor degrading your sense of style, but refers to the term of economically
spending the money you have. People does not have to buy all the recent items
to look stylist, in fact not everyone looks great on the latest trend. For
example, I will look ridiculous on the Jeffrey Campbell boots (due to short figures,
these boots looked funny on me).
I got this amazing shoes for only $20 (Original price of $100++)
Try to find the best bargain in town, look for information regarding the
promotion or even the sample sale event. This will save up to 50% - 80% from
the base price and this really a knock-off price, good quality with affordable
price. Do not hesitate to ask your friend whether they know a thing or two
about such events, or ask their opinion whether you should buy the thing that
you would like to buy. However, it is not a sin to buy recent trend as long as
you’d sure that it will make a great investment and you really love the item.
Several things came in my mind before purchasing expensive goods, “Do I really
love this bag or shoes? Will I regret buying this?” If yes, I will ask my
brother or friend whether or not I should buy it and will it look good on me.
In summary, you are beautiful no matter what other people told you and be
yourself!
But don't look like this when you encounter discounted goods :p
Here are some mind blowing and important fact about the average "Cost of Beauty" (see the article for some interesting facts).

Love this post! I love to get a good deal, too :-) But you are so right that its important not to buy things you don't want or need just because they are cheap. I used to do it all the time! Oh and those Prada shoes are hot!

Love the association with Confessions of A Shopaholic I was looking for a movie to watch tonight and I think I just found it!
ReplyDeleteyes, I do believe that do remain fashionable, we have to like, manage our spendings, why buy a pair of shoes for $100 when you can get them for $50 on december, right? the confessions of a shopaholic reinterpretation is just so cool, to me, affordable fashion would be recycling them, styling them onto a whole new level

Excellent post! Even upscale dept store like Neiman has amazing sale from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I learned during my US years is vintage and thrift shopping! Of course, you need to wash and clean the items you bought, and you'd be amazed at the quality of the items you could find, as well as the thrill of the hunting itself. In Indonesia, it is considered uncool, I think, to wear secondhand items, when even famous Hollywood celebs wore vintage the red carpet!
