When the Hemline Drops - Find Investments at the Shops

We know we are experiencing tough economic times - we hear it on the news, see it in the papers and feel it in our pocketbooks. You can also tell by our hemlines. When the economy is struggling the hemlines go down and the waistlines go up. I can live with that - but I won't live without updating my fall 08 wardrobe. Here are a few tips from Doncaster wardrobe specialists on how to make your dollar stretch when it comes to adding on fall 08 pieces.
1. You need an investment attitude. If you purchase anything make sure it is classic and durable apparel that will last more than one season. I always stress to avoid purchasing disposable clothing - those outfits that loose shape and begin to pill after 6 wears. That is even more important now.
2. Get as much newness for your dollar as you can. If you have to go trendy maybe it should be in your shoes and handbags.
3. Stick with your favorite brands, no matter what they cost but buy less frequently.

I love purchasing and wearing fall clothing. Maybe we won't shop till we drop but we can let the hemline drop while we shop. I can live with that. Enjoy shopping.
Joyfully,
Chris
