Savvy Shopping For Clothing In Plus Sizes
by: Chirsty Diaz

Shopping for clothing in plus sizes can often be a
confusing, overwhelming chore. With a certain amount of
shopping savvy, you can turn your next shopping excursion
into a positive, productive experience. The following expert
tips will streamline your style and help you select the
best clothing in plus sizes for you.

Make A List

Before you head to the local clothing for plus sizes
retailer, take an inventory of what you have in your closet.
Ask yourself, "What clothes make me feel good?" Remove
items that you haven't worn for six months or longer. Make a
list of what you are keeping and what you think you need to
purchase. Keep this list with you when you head to the
stores.

Don't Confuse A Trend For True Style

Yves Saint Laurent had it right when he said, "Fashions
fade; style is eternal." Consider what you love to wear. Do
you have a flattering cashmere sweater, or drawer full of
signature scarves? Build your wardrobe around your
favorites. Don't feel tempted to buy every fad or trend. You
don't have to subject yourself to those "must-have" gauchos
this season. You won't feel comfortable in them anyway if
they are not right for your personal style or body type.
Stick to your tried and true fashion staples, and build
around those pieces. A good rule of thumb is to have seventy
percent of your wardrobe classic pieces and the other
thirty percent dedicated to the fun, funky items that spice
up your look.

Know When To Shop

It's always helpful to remember that stores have sales and
seasonal clearances on a regular basis. Many stores will
offer "beginning of the season" sales of ten to thirty
percent, but they will give deep discounts on the same
merchandise by the end of the season. So, if you are looking
for a trendy item that will only be wearable for one
season, pay the higher price and wear it all season. If you
are in need of classic items like sweaters, black trousers,
and white blouses, buy them at the end of the season to
wear next year. You'll delight in knowing that you paid a
fraction of their original cost.

Splurge Occasionally - But Only On The Necessities

It's always a good idea to buy the best quality staple items
that you can afford. Don't scrimp on shoes, handbags, or
undergarments. You won't be fooling anyone with poor quality
pumps, a knock-off designer purse, or an ill-fitting bra.
You will feel more confident and special with high quality
basics. They also are made to last. One well-made handbag or
pair of shoes can last years.

Enjoy Shopping

Finally, make sure to have fun when you shop. Be kind to
yourself when trying on different styles (even fashion
models don't look good in everything), ask for help when you
need it, and remember to buy only what makes you feel
special and comfortable.
