I was reading something in Yahoo’s fashion section when I came across the topic on how not to go broke this holiday season. Some tips I found useful like, don’t use your credit card if you don’t think you can’t pay them off until February but the rest are simply common sense. It’s true that this season, we are inclined to spend more; we have to buy a lot of gifts for our family and loved ones. The craze has started and we all rushed to the mall to avail of the big discounts in Black Friday.

However, not all of us were able to have the shopping that we wanted for some reason like the much awaited bonus is not yet in the hand. Well, no need to worry because most of the gift items are still on sale, online. The internet is such a huge market where you can find everything up for grabs, cheaper than ordinary discount stores and sometimes bargaining is never out of question. As a matter of fact, I just bought citizen watches titanium for my mom and a citizen watch perpetual calendar from my bonus because of big slash in price. I’m also thinking of buying one for myself but I can’t decide which one to get among the ladies gold diamond watch. It’s Christmas, I think giving yourself a gift is simply is reasonable.

Its’ a fact, women love shopping. They found pleasure in new clothes, stylish bag and adorable shoes. That is why some lifestyle and fashion magazines used this scheme to win every woman’s heart. A friendly reminder; don’t let these items deceive you. Most ads can lure you but when its beauty yet the bill can make you ugly when the payment is due. If you’re shopping for shoes, go for the standard ones. Another reminder, buy the stuff that you need not what you want. High heeled shoes and sandals are really eye candy, but a more comfortable two inch shoe or flats are most useful especially in office work. But then if you’re looking for an evening shoe, you can have the guiltless free conscience to buy high heels. Go for something that’s classical. The ones that have neutral colors like silver which are easy to pair with any cocktail dresses or even prom dresses. Don’t spend too much on signature sneaker; a sleek and comfortable pair is enough for all your outdoor activities. Don’t use too much accessories. Remember, your accessories can make or break your outfit. Don’t exceed the rule of five. Vintage and bulky necklaces have their own combinations like vest but make sure that you don’t wear too much of them with prom dresses or any gowns. If you can’t afford precious jewelry, settle for fancy pearl necklaces. Unlike wedding gowns, cocktail dresses can be easily matched with simple jewelry or sometimes even not. When shopping for clothes, always keep in mind something comfortable, a little bit fashionable and the price is reasonable. Some clothes are too common that every time you wear them you are hoping that you won’t bump into someone wearing the same outfit like you do. Be aware of those dresses; if possible ask the saleslady if they have many of those designs. Don’t just follow the trend. If you saw your favorite celebrity wearing a very chic dress, that doesn’t mean you would ragingly go shopping and find the exact dress no matter what. They are paid to wear those clothes and besides they have their own designers which you do not. Instead tag someone to go shopping with you and ask if the dress suits you well. Tell her that you’re open to real criticisms and you’re not just asking for compliments. Truth can sometimes hurt but half-truths are most of the time deceiving.
