When shopping for clothes and accessories, we want to get the most out of our dollars, right? To do this, we must learn to be effective and efficient customers. Regardless of how limited our resources or abundance, we must learn to use them wisely. So how do we do?

First, we should always buy a wardrobe of pieces that are versatile. Each piece should work with at least three other things in our ormaru.Češće are likely to carry an item, the better off buying the station.

Second, one should always choose quality over quantity. Robert Pante once said, "Only the rich can afford cheap clothing, cheap clothes because it carries more quickly and advertised as cheap ."

quality is a real bargain. Smaller items of exceptional quality will provide a better return on investment of a few cases of average / bad kvalitete.Cut and build quality clothing is much more accurate and therefore much nicer in the flesh. In addition, the quality of garments made ​​from beautiful fabrics that retain their color longer.

Keep the level of quality in skladu.Loše made ​​a pair of trousers in combination with top jacket cheapens the whole outfit.

to decide if a particular item is a good investment, think about its true cost of its own instead of asking price . to determine the true cost of its own, simply divide the initial cost of the items that the total number of times you're likely to wear.

For example, let's compare the true cost of wearing a suit $ 500 $ 900 suit. Suppose a suit will carry three times a month for a total of 36 times a year.

° $ 500 suit will last on average three years for a total of 108 carries life (3 × 36 = 108). $ 500 divided by 108 equals life carries $ 4.63 per wear .

° $ 900 suit will last an average of 6 years of life carries a total of 216 (6 × 36 = 216). $ 900 divided by 216 equals life carries $ 4.17 per wear .

Why not invest in a $ 900 suit if the construction of garments and fabrics are far superior to that $ 500 suit? It will last longer and look and feel much better on our body.

Here is another example. Let's find sequined cocktail dress on sale for $ 100. We can wear it on the two sides this year, maybe two next year for a total of four carries. Our real price per garment for this item on sale $ 25. ($ 100 ÷ 4 = carries $ 25)

This cocktail dress is an expensive option, a purchase that can be worn with a jacket for a professional appearance day and sizzled up the night with a stunning accessory can make much wiser izbor.Svestranost more useful item in your closet.

One last note ... Price-per-carry concept works most effectively when planning your wardrobe in the "capsule" skupine.Kapsula group six to twelve garments chosen to work together in many ways (suits, shirts, ties and shoes for men and skirts, jackets, pants, tops, sweaters and shoes for women ).

Now that you're equipped with this small little shopping know-how, go there and shop wisely! Happy Shopping!
