Welcome back to all of you taking the time to read my blogs on fashion. So far, I have shown you in my previous blogs a few pairs of awesome shoes and boots. There was the Guess Bountiful boots, which I personally love and where quite often with jeans. And, a couple of other noteworthy fall fashion boots.
We all know that it can be quite costly trying to stay up on the latest fashions. Especially during this time of economic decline. But, I'm here to tell you that it can be done, if you shop smart and dress smart. We all know that the smartest things you can have in your wardrobe are the straight black slacks and the straight classic black skirt. These two items can mix and match with an unlimited amount of tops to create virtually any look you want. We also know that the least expensive items to purchase are tops and blouses.
By following the basic style tip, you can give yourself career looks, elegant looks, casual looks and so much more. However, once you have your basics, you certainly do not want to repeat the same looks over and over. You want to be able to take those basics and reinvent yourself. The best possible way to accomplish this task without breaking the wallet is to add accessories. Yes, those old fashion simple, but classic looking pearls can add a touch of elegance to a black skirt and black shell top. Bright and bold fashion jewelry can turn your basic wardrobe into perhaps a fun date night or night out on the town.
But, accessories do not stop at the jewelry. Scarves are great and have many uses. Learn how to tie one around your head properly for a spectacular look. Let your scarf serve as a shawl draped around your shoulders in the evening. And, in this day and age, you can find a book to teach you any and everything. One of my favorite books is on how to add scarves into your wardrobe and making them look good when wearing them.
We all know that us girls love shoes and handbags. However, they are the most expensive pieces and the most difficult to add to your wardrobe. Its funny how designers are beginning to realize that their products are unattainable for the average woman and they are basically losing money by not catering to us. The average woman is the shopping woman. As an average woman, we contribute more to this economy by shopping than probably any other group.
The average woman has revolutionized online shopping, we have made stores like Walmart, Kohl's and Target giants in the retail industry. And yet, the designers failed up until recently to realize this. But notice I said recently. Once high end designers such as Vera Wang, who provided nothing but exclusive fashion for the rich and the famous, now has her clothes in Kohl's. At one time, Macy's was a dream store that the average woman dared not to even look at. Now, Macy's has dropped prices so that anyone can pretty much go in there and buy a celebrity brand handbag or shoe.
While these are all fine and dandy. As an average woman, I feel as if the aforementioned designers and stores are using me. They are businesses and business people first. Their first priority is not making sure we as people can all afford their clothes. Their first priority is marketing to the demographic that will bring them the most money. And, that is the average woman. So, I tend to show loyalty and stick to those stores and places that marketed to my demographic from the beginning and continue to do so.
Which brings me to an awesome little secret I discovered. Its a company called Just Fabulous and its like being in a shoe and bag club with your own personal shopper. But, here's the best part, the price is so ridiculously reasonable, you wonder why this just came out? This is a must for anyone that wants to control their wallet and still look like a million bucks. And, it is the neatest thing. You take an online style quiz, they assess it for you and then based on the results, send you various shoes and bags to pick from. You pick the one you like or a couple that you like and pay the low, low cost. They do this each month and you are always welcome to pick other styles or none at all in any given month.
The quiz is super fun and as always, I believe in sharing and passing along a good deal, so click below, take the quiz and see for yourself.
