The sales season started earlier this year. Many women of fashion have rushed to discounted prices and are packing up bags. This is the main mistake of shopaholics.

1. the main thing – list!
Before you go shopping, you need to do a wardrobe revision and make a shopping list. Don’t go shopping because “it’s cheaper there than yesterday.” Smart shopping does not tolerate rash purchases. The list should include things that your wardrobe cannot do without.
2. Spring is just around the corner
Pay more attention to demi-season clothing. In a well-designed wardrobe, there should be twice as much of it than the rest. Look after something for the spring. Demi-season shoes are now actively being sold. Buy a good pair of genuine leather that will come in handy in the spring.
3. Don’t chase fashion
It is better not to chase the hits of the season – very soon they will cease to be such. Invest in a basic wardrobe. For example, a good quality jacket or dress pants. Such clothes will serve you for years – they can be combined with different sets, creating new images.
4. Give up cheap stuff
Better not to spend money on cheap clothes. Instead of a penny 10 turtlenecks and blouses, buy one good thing, one that you could not afford before discounts. For example, if a tweed jacket for 7 thousand can now be bought with a 50 percent discount, buy it. It goes well with other wardrobe items.
5. Important accents
During sales, it is good to invest in accessories that are least subject to fashion changes: leather belts, jewelry, good quality jewelry. For example, buy a bag with a handkerchief or gloves. It is better to take accessories in pairs that match the color.
6. What to choose from the hits of the season?
Blouses and shirts will always come in handy. Another practical thing is a sheath dress, let it be no frills. Pay attention to clothes in pastel shades. If earlier you could find them in stores only in summer, this season they are also available in winter.
Fans of an informal lifestyle can choose an oversized jacket – as if “from someone else’s shoulder” – such a thing can be beaten in different variations. You can see pullovers that are fashionable this season – both cropped and, conversely, baggy, stretched. Choose according to your body size and height. Such a pullover can be completed in different variations.
Another trend of the season is a chiffon dress. If earlier it could be bought only in spring and summer, this season they appeared in winter. A chiffon dress can be combined with jackets and pullovers and create different styles.
Sleeveless jackets, elongated waistcoats, sleeveless coats are also relevant – this is also a basic element of a wardrobe that you can invest in.
7. Useful loneliness
It is better to go to sales alone. Otherwise, you will end up with someone else’s “sale” feeling of shopping fun. And make unnecessary spontaneous purchases. Let your list be your main advisor.
Enjoy the shopping!
