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!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit. My last purchase for one was from Target eight years ago! And also during that time, I was the lucky recipient of two new suits from my BSFFL (Best Sister Friend For Life) who visited from Europe! So Those have lasted quite a long time!

A Re-post: Red Carpet Reviews - 2013 American Music Awards

Another post of mine that was a write up for Orlando Fashion Week Magazine.  It was published there previously.  If you missed it, I'm sharing it again here on my blog for the first time, with some edits for relevance of course curvy divas. A writer's work is never done! Let me know which celebrity wore your favorite style! Did you watch last year's AMAs? Me too!  It was one of the best with my favorite Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull as host.  Did you catch the fashion that walked the red carpet?  No? Well, pull up a chair and I'll fill you in. At the 2012 award show, Christina Aguilera was beautiful in all her curvyness in a Pamella Roland dress, unfortunately, she went overboard on the suntan lotion.  Last year, she showed off a much leaner physique in a white Maria Lucia Hohan cut-out dress with a high split on the side.  Her shoes were Christian Louboutin peep-toe and I loved her pave jewelry.

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...
