Shopping
You spend time and money on glossy fashion
magazines trying to spot the latest trends. You buy shoes and clothes based on
what top stars, film stars and models are wearing. Tight-fitting jeans are now
considered a “must have” whereas the baggy jeans you spent much money on last
year are presently considered old-fashioned by Teen Vogue. Almost everyone
would like to have designer clothes and expensive shoes. But is it really worth
spending all your pocket money on items you won’t even wear in a couple of
months? If you really want to become a smart buyer here some tips:
1__
Be responsible. Do not spend a lot of cash
on things that you know will be out of fashion within the next six months. Pay
attention to the quality and the material. Do not spend money on a T-shirt
that’s made of cotton just because it’s designed by Armany. It’s not logical. Before
you buy that red leather jacket take a minute to think: do I have matching
shoes? Does the colour suit me? If you want to buy something smart for a formal
occasion get a plain, elegant, white shirt or a black, silk dress. They will
never go out of fashion!
2__
Your taste in fashion is certainly
influenced by TV and advertisements. Despite the fact that you’ve always hated
leather trousers and velvet suit, you start to think that they actually look
cool because they are now being worn by major trendsetters like Kate Moss and
David Beckham! Do not compare yourself to unrealistic images. You can’t wear
the same clothes as runway models. It’s just not practical.
3__
Don’t pay too much attention to the latest
trends. It’s more important to wear something that suits your body and your
personal style. If you walk with confidence even a pair of old scruffy jeans or
a knitted sweater can look trendy. No one will like you more just because you
have a designer handbag. It’s all about self-confidence!
