subject: Smart Dressers Know How To Make Their Money Go Farther [print this page] For some people, what they are seen wearing is very important to them. They think that everything they put on needs to have a designer label or it is is not worth wearing. Of course, it is nice to be able to wear designer labels and have the best of everything in your wardrobe, but it is not always the smartest way to dress when your fashion sense out weighs your pocketbook. Some of the best dressers also know how to be some of the smartest dressers.
Knowing how to shop for sales is only one way to save money on great labels and styles. Clearance racks are sales too, but a lot of times people overlook clearance racks because they assume that the only things on those racks are things that no one else wanted. This is not always true. Sorting through the clearance racks occasionally yields some great finds for just a fraction of their original cost. You do have to be careful buying from some clearance racks because sometimes the items are not returnable so be sure and try them before you buy them.
Thrift stores and on line auction sites might be another couple of ways you have never tried for finding great clothes at great prices. Some people think this might be beneath them to wear a used item, but most people actually think that line of thinking is just silly. It is no different than wearing hand me downs that you used to wear when you were a child. If something has a great label. Looks great on you and is also a great price, who cares where it came from? That is the way a smart and fashionable shopper looks at it. You never know where one of your best dressed friends finds their great clothes. It might not be from the stores you think.
Swapping out clothes with friends is also a great way to add to your wardrobe as well. If you have a friend that is close to your own size, get together and do some swapping out. What better way to get some great clothes you might have admired for practically free? How much a clothing item cost is hardly the most important factor. How it looks on you and whether it leaves enough money in your pocket to go out to dinner is what is most important. What is the point in looking great if you have no money left to go anywhere?
