"Confessions of a true shopaholic"

In the spirit of helping others one of my missions is to help you get the best deals possible when shopping for clothing. The key to this is is patience. You may not get the exact thing you want right now but eventually you will. In the process you will find many other treasures! I promise. Make it a game. Especially in these economic times where many of us are conscious of how we spend money. My philosophy is why pay full retail for anything?

There are many ways to go about doing this. For me there are some brands that I really like, I wear them often and they fit me well. I keep my eyes peeled for sales on these items which is a no brainer. My favorite thing to do is shop sample sales. What I have noticed recently that there is an increasing popularity for online sample sales. Unfortunately the for vendors they are having to unload merchandise at a fraction of the cost. As a fashionista it is beneficial to me. And to you! A few of the sample sale sites that I frequent are: The Gilt group, Beyond the Rack and Top Button. The key with these sales is to act quickly. Sizes especially small sizes sell out fast!! These sales can be a bit overwhelming. My advice is have a goal in mind and don't just buy because it's a good deal. That's how you end up with a closet full of clothes you don't wear. Of course I wouldn't know anything about that :)

Im happy to help with any questions or consulting needs you may have. In the meantime good luck and happy shopping!
