Fall Fashion Shopping Do's/Don'ts

Contributed by: Leslie Cole, Leslie Cole Styles

Is the thought of heading out to do your fall fashion wardrobe shopping a non-starter for you?

Does the image of packed stores, crowded racks and pushy salespeople make you want to stay home and order your clothes from Amazon?

If you find shopping a daunting prospect, here are some tips to help make it easier:

• Be rested, eat first and take a water bottle

• Go alone. Friends mean well, but can make disastrous recommendations

• Look nice. If you feel scroungy, anything you try won’t be appealing and it’ll be easy to give up

• Don’t censure yourself. You’re already in the fitting room, go ahead and try it on, even if it’s something that’s out of your comfort zone

• If you see something that intrigues you, try it on before you talk yourself out of it

• Try on your purchases once you get home to make sure you love them

• Take photos in the outfits you put together in the store and those you try on once you get home.

• Look for pieces in your current wardrobe that will go with what you bought.

• Resist the urge to leave those bags in the back seat for a week!

Seems like a lot to keep track of? It is! That’s why a stylist comes in handy. As a local KC wardrobe stylist to men and women, I know where the best merchandise is, how to source all kinds of sizes, colors and unique garments. I am on a first-name basis with most of the key sales people and boutiques in town.

As a stylist I have very high personal standards and I want my clients to as well. After all, your style matters in all you do every single day. How you feel, how others relate to you and how you’re perceived.
