New fashions look irresistible at the beginning of a season and many of them want to come home and live with you. But that can create a dilemma when working out your clothing budget. A trendy item yields a shorter lifespan than something more classic. But every wardrobe could use some novelty pieces or it becomes too boring. One could look matronly as a result of being too cautious. What’s a person to do?
There is a way to work some trendy items into your wardrobe without spending a fortune – wait for them to go on sale! Items on the quirky side often find their way on the sales rack just weeks after they’ve appeared on store floors. Here is a list of current trendy items that might be best purchased on sale.
Leather is big this season, and it’s also a high-priced item that could drain your wallet if you’re not careful. The haute punk rock look will give you an edge and make you feel daring, but don’t dare pay full price for it! If you fall for a leather jacket at full price, you must love it and you think you could wear it most months of the year.
Caftan dresses aren’t a necessity unless you host poolside summer soirees most nights of the week. A shirtdress or a sheath could fit into your lifestyle better than the caftan. Choose one that has flattering features and in an easy-to-wear color that makes it fun to adorn with your beautiful collection of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.
Transparent tops and dresses present a bit of a problem – what to wear underneath them to keep what’s private – well, private! To wear this trend, you have to layer up and that means buying yet more pieces in order to complete an outfit. Yet some of these items are so sensual, sexy and fun to wear on special occasions. So wait for them to go on sale. I can help you make this look work for you.
