- shop for who you are now...not who you will be five to ten pounds from now...
- buy something because it looks great on you...not because it looks great on a fashion model in a glossy spread...
- let your own legs (and body type) determine how long or how short your hem should be...
- sizes are relative...buy what size you are...not what size you thought you were...or what size you hope to be...(refer back to point one)
- before you buy...check yourself in the mirror in as many positions as you can...especially sitting down...
- put things on hold if you need more time...if you're going to a series of stores...maybe you'll come across something later that works better...thinking things over reduces the chances that you'll buy on impulse...
- beware of sales if you're prone to impulse buying...before you go out...reassess what you have and make a list of what you need...then try to stick to it...
- avoid pushy salespeople...and beware of those who flatter you too much...when you find a salesperson who speaks your language...stick with him or her...
and if all this just seems a bit overwhelming...seriously consider a wardrobe stylist...it just may save you alot of money...
