shopping for that difficult item...

do you have that one thing (or two or three) that you absolutely hate shopping for? it's not that you hate the item...but the torture of going through the exercise of finding the right one...

for me...that item is jeans...i've always had a hard time finding jeans that fit right...so for this example...i will use "jeans" as the difficult item...

so whatever that item is...and if you are still on the hunt for it...devote a day to going from store to store and trying on every pair of jeans...just jeans...nothing else...you can look at dresses another day...or hunt for shoes at yet another time...

the key is to really focus in on this one item...and only that...and trying them on doesn't mean just slipping into a pair...looking over your shoulder at your tush...and saying they're fine...trying them on means standing...walking...and sitting in them...as well as looking at them from every possible angle...

a pattern of what looks best on you will eventually emerge...most important...which jeans make you feel good? which ones make you shudder in horror? (that would be low-rise for me) the ones that make you smile and feel just right are the ones to buy...

use this shopping trick for everything...dresses, tops, sweaters, pants and bras...if you stay focused on shopping for that one difficult item...you will be successful...

what is your difficult item to shop for?

  1. Bra shopping is hard for me. I get tired! I have to go right when the store opens and when I decide I'm pooped, whether I found a great bra or not, I just stop.

  2. and a lot of women are wearing the wrong bra size...i highly recommend a proper bra fitting for all women!

    karen - smart to stop when you are pooped...otherwise you buy just to buy...never a good idea...
