If You Love Designer Wares - How to buy at Your Price

Many of us love Designer brand clothing.  We love it so much that we eat, sleep and well, do everything we can to get them in our closets!  When I have a brand that I love in my closet, that makes this girl very happy.  While I don't "corner" the market on the brands I enjoy wearing, I do have one trick I use so that I can afford those that I absolutely adore.

Do you want to know what that trick is?  I am sure that you, my dear curvy divas, know this already because you have been doing the very same thing all along, especially since you read and follow this blog.
 

The one thing all of us fashionable ladies do, and of course some gents who are in the know, we shop the bargains!  We wait for and look for the sales and discounts!  Do I hear an "Amen"?!lol~!  Yes, that is exactly what we do. Not everyone has disposable income, or spendable cash all of the time, therefore we love sales!  Whenever our favorite brands and/or designers are on sale, well, we're all over it!
 



To purchase at "my price", I continue to do this:
 
  • I browse my favorite store and look at new items and designs that are in.
  • When the price is not right for me, I wait for it to go on sale; or I will ask a sales associate in the store when their sale will be coming up. And you know what, they usually tell me, and some of the intuitive ones will even take your number!
  • Watch and see. Yes, I stalk the item(s) until they are at the lowest price! Have you ever done that?!  Even better is when the item is on sale in the store, and it gets matched for a competitors price!
  • Once I was in the store shopping, I went in with a coupon that was mailed to me; in addition, there was a sale that very day with additional mark downs...then guess what else?  The item(s) were already on the stores lowest mark down!  I purchased that item for less than buyers cost!
  • It is good to note that sometimes the prices online are a lot less than those in the store.

So the next time you want to purchase your favorite designer wares, shop around, or wait for the sale!

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

Wearing Red

It's Valentine's Day again and I'm sure many of you curvy divas are wondering what to wear tonight?  Some of us have plans, but others will keep it low keyed at home...or not! Whatever you do curvy divas, I found some great suggestions on Elle.com!  They featured RED , in everything, accessories, clothing, make up, even underwear!  Here are my favorite picks! I LOVE this dress! The silhouette is beautiful and will flatter most body types!  I checked and this item doesn't go larger than a size 12 by the designer, and they are out of this style at Neiman Marcus, however, it's a great look and you can find something similar elsewhere!  If it is too long, find a shorter length.

This beautiful dress is also not available in larger sizes. It goes to...
