Is it possible that retailers soak sweet virgin pretties in dopamine? How else can we explain the new outfit addiction? Kathryn Finney begins to explain how to manage and train the well-dressed monkey on the back.
For example:
"The more you save, the more and longer you will be able to spend. Budget fashionistas must save as much as they spend per month on clothes. For example, if you have $250 after paying all your expenses, at least $125 of it should go into your savings account. Deposit the other $125 into a completely separate interest bearing checking or savings account with its own debit card and checks, to be used specifically for shopping. That way you will be able to keep track of the money you spend on clothes."
or
"Know the names of sales associates. Sales associates are a great source of information on upcoming sales and have access to Friends and Family coupons, which offer up to an additional 25% off merchandise." And might I add, maybe your salesy friend will call you when the pair of pants you've been lusting goes on sale.
Check it out from your local library, and in the meantime check out the Budget Fashionista Blog.
Procure a book customized to your own fashion journey in a personalized fashion look book.

definitely adding this to my goodreads page, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking today "I wonder if Rachel could dress me to look great but not spend more than $20 on a single item. Oh, it would all have to be brand name and all of it would need to be on sale at at least 50% off."
ReplyDeleteI totally dare you.
I'm not very fashionable. In fact, I currently find a lot of things that are quite trendy to be sort of ugly. I've been told that I need to be on "what not to wear"- but then they would throw out all of my north face courdory cargo pants. Oh, and that being said. We tend to buy a lot of high end brand named things- the majority of them being on sale- crazy on sale..and a lot of them being from REI. Yeah, I like the outdoors. Maybe I do need to be dressed. I love a good deal. A really good deal.
Heidi, that's an interesting proposition that I may need to take you up on. :)
