The key to finding the best fashion bargain is to do your homework before you even start shopping. Here is just how you can do it.

 

Go through your wardrobe and have a clear definition of your style

Most times when you go shopping you go there with no clue as to what you are looking for. In the end, you buy things that neither fit you, nor appeal to your style. The worst of it all is that you spend a lot of money on a piece or an accessory that you’d probably never wear.

The best way to go bargain shopping  is to go through your wardrobe before you even think of going shopping. Take a mental note of what exactly you need and the true definition of your style. This will give you a clear definition of what exactly you are meant to look for when you go shopping.

 

Bargain fashion shop during off-season

Like I mentioned in the How to Look Stylish on a Tight Budget post, shopping during off-season is the way to go. Shopping during the off-season gives you a variety of choices to make. The only thing is that you’d probably have to wait for the coming season to actually wear the clothes. That means that you need to make sure you plan ahead before you do your shopping during the off-season, but it is definitely worth it. Shopping during the off-season opens you to quality clothing at discounted rates. You end up buy high quality clothing at a really low price.

 

Scout for coupon codes

Yes, there are coupons codes for quality and stylish clothing. These coupons give you the clothes at a discounted rate, saving you a lot of money, so they are worth looking into.

 

 

 

Find out when your favourite store will stock new merchandise

This will require that you go undercover, well kind of. Clothes stores stock regularly at certain times during the month. If you want to get bargain fashion, then you need to keep up-to-date with when they actually get new merchandise. When the store gets new merchandise, the old stock gets pushed to the back of the store and their prices drop considerably. This gives you access to quality, yet cheaper clothing.

 

Check out clearance stores for bargain fashion

Contrary to what some people think, you can actually find a lot of stylish clothing items from clearance stores. You may even get a chance to see a couple of designer outfits. The best part of it all is that they come at affordable prices, making you look stylish on a budget.

 

Do you have any bargain fashion shopping tips to share?

The Beauty of a Leather Bag

If you know me well enough, and you have been reading Fashion and Style Police for some time, you would know all about my love for stunning leather bags, and how I keep growing my leather bag collection. I have a thing for leather bags. I love the way they smell and look. I can never say no to a quality handbag.

I think every woman should have a few quality leather bags in her wardrobe. A stunning bag has the power to change any look, and take it from level 0 to a level 100, so they are definitely worth investing in.

If I had £100 to invest in my wardrobe, the first thing I would definitely think of getting is a new hand bag. I love my pieces, watches, shoes and stuff, but I have a special place in my heart for handbags. I have always had and always will.

And being a mini shopaholic, I have been on the lookout for some quality leather bags to grab this spring/summer season. In my pursuit, I came across Betty Hemmings some days ago, and I fallen in love with stunning their leather goods. For those who have not heard of this brand, it is a premier specialty retailer for Business, Travel and Luxury leather goods. It was founded in 1978, and offers a sophisticated range of luxuriously crafted briefcases, business accessories, luggage and leather goods.

They stock very quality handbags, I felt very at home on their website. There were so many bags I likes but these 2 below caught my eye instantly.

How to Shop Smart

Fashion and Style Image

Most of us struggle with an unlimited wish list but a very limited budget. So it makes sense to learn how to shop smartly so we get the most for our buck.

Here are some of my tried and tested tips for shopping on a budget:

Write A List

Writing a list and taking it with you to the shops is the first way to get your shopping right. Writing a list will save you time and money because you won’t be easily distracted, and you will buy items you don’t need. Prioritise your priorities and go with a list!

Go Early

I like hitting the shopping malls early before it gets crazy. I usually put off when stores are filled with customers. You won’t catching me shopping in the malls on Boxing Day sales these days. I like it when it is very quiet so I go early.

Go Alone

Go shopping alone. You get a lot done quicker when you are by yourself, and you won’t get sidetracked. Plus shopping with young kids is usually a complete nightmare 99.9% of the time. I usually forget what I need to get so I rather shop alone.

Have A Budget

Have a budget of what you are happy to spend and stick to it. Withdrawing the exact amount you need may help you stick to your budget instead of shopping with your bank cards. Shopping with cash feels more real than bank cards so you are more likely to stick to your budget. Also, look out for stores where you can make use of coupons and discounts. Forever21 is quite a popular fashion brand, and there are usually loads of coupons and discounts available to help save some money.

Get Your Shopping Outfit Right

There is nothing more frustrating than shopping in an uncomfortable outfit. Picture a tight skirt and high heels; recipe for disaster. Shopping in flats and comfy clothes is the way to go if you plan to get anything done. If you are getting few things, heels may work for you, but if you plan to shop for hours, you need to get the outfit right.

How do you shop smart?

In other news, I am off to do some shopping tomorrow in collaboration with a brand and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Wish me luck!
