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!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

As Winter comes around the corner for some, and is already here for others, what is the best thing (after my favorite, boots) that some fashionistas look forward to? Well curvy divas , have you thought about it yet?  Coat season of course!  I'm sure by now you know that there is a coat for every type of cold-weather day! On Purewow.com they featured 30 different coats you can wear , think of it as a daily guide for at least one month of coat-wearing during the cold season!  They have defined for each type of cold-weather day a coat or jacket you can wear! When it's Crisp outside, a bit cooler than the hot weather we are still feeling here in Orlando, then it's time to take out your blazer ! Mossimo's brown leather fur collar jacket When it gets blustery outside, a lot colder than just a chill in the air, hello Bomber jackets !   I agree that this style is the "it" jacket, because of its edgy style ! http://www.oldnavy.com/products/outerwear-...
