“Always give yourself the right to choose whatever you are most excited about.” – Gerri D Smith (The Author)

If you are like most of us, your shopping habits may depend upon your budget and how much you can afford to spend at any given time. When this is the case it is important for you to make wise purchases and avoid costly mistakes.

For longer lasting wear in the clothing you purchase, plan your choices based on making good decisions. Learn from past shopping mistakes. Stay away from fads and trendy looks that go out of style in six months or less. When your fashion budget is limited, set aside a clothing allowance. Try to keep a log of everything you spend for the month and plan ahead for emergencies.

Allow half of your budget for your fall and winter wardrobe. A good part of that you may spend for a warm coat, which is your most costly investment. A winter coat should carry you through two or three years. So, be sure to buy the best you can afford in your coats; the same applies for your dresses and suits. Quality is more important then quantity.

The next half of your budget can be set aside for items that make up your spring and summer wardrobe. Out of this half, include a quarter for the spring and the other quarter for summer clothing. For each seasonal change, allow a portion of your entire budget for accessories, shoes and shoe repair, alterations and necessary cleaning.

Other factors that come into play in budgeting and buying fashions for your wardrobe are:

The area where you live

Whether you are socially active.

Every city, state, and country is influenced by climate changes. Climate changes may be more seasonal in one part of the country than in another. How often do you travel from state to state, or to other countries? When making your clothing purchases, keep in mind the climate changes in different parts of the state and country.

A certain amount of individuality is good, however one usually adapts to the dress of other people in the same community. What is acceptable by one community group may look quite odd by those in another community group. When traveling to different parts of the world for extended periods of time, it may be wise to set aside a small budget specifically for purchasing clothing in the community where you are traveling and staying.

At times when your social life is full or more active, an idea wardrobe should include fashions that are suitable for a special occasion. In this case, your clothing may be geared to a specific type of activity. For example, if you were active in sports, your wardrobe would reflect more sportswear. And if you attend parties, entertain, or attend upscale events, then your wardrobe would have more eveningwear fashions.

Make a list of the clothing in your closet. Is there anything worth saving from past seasons? If any item needs to be altered, replaced, recycled, or thrown away, then make a decision to do so. Make an estimate of what your needs are and replace out-dated items with new ones as they are needed.

Keeping up with fashion trends and what goes on in the fashion industry is a good habit to develop. Study fashion magazines, and go window-shopping before you plan your wardrobe. Know what looks best on your figure and plan outfits, accessories, and shoes that can be worn and coordinated with several different ensembles.

Even before you shop, think of a color scheme and build your new purchases around your favorite colors. You can always add different tops, skirts, and jackets that will work with each other. Then pair them to work with what you already have in one or more of your favorite color choices.

Make it a habit to plan and shop wisely. Your wardrobe and your fashion style depend on it. Are your fashion habits perfect, yet?

Shasta Cohen asked:

More and more young people are choosing fashion design when they are quizzed about their future choice in a career and who can blame them. A career in fashion design means having a great job creating clothing concepts that will influence the way that people look all over the planet. One thing that many people are not aware of, is that top designers have a way of making it all look so easy when in fact they have put in years of work and study to get to the pinnacle that they are at.

To be successful at fashion design, one must be able to do a wide variety of tasks well including drawing, selecting colors and fabric types and sewing just to name a few things that a good designer must do well. Another thing that a good designer must have is vision, because the designs that they create have to be a year ahead of the popular trends in fashion.

This is because, what you see on the racks in clothing stores this spring were actually thought up over a year ago. This is when the designer first began to sketch designs and try to imagine what they will actually look like when than are finally constructed. It takes a full year for a designer to design and create a line of clothing and if the designer is wrong on which direction that they predicted fashion would take they will be out of business.

If you are considering fashion design as a career choice then now is the time to start your studies by learning to sketch your ideas. Sketching is a great way to work out idea concepts without having to go through the time and expense of actually constructing anything. Also, it is important to remember that the only way that you are going to communicate your ideas in fashion is with sketches.

Melissa Wayan asked:

Okay so we have all seen the fashion shows on TV, or the pictures from them in the magazines and thought about how unbelievably and unnaturally thin the models are. Personally I find it very depressing. I look at these beautiful clothes on these beautiful girls and know that even if I had the money to buy the clothes, they would never look like that on me. I am not a large girl and actually wear a fairly small size, but I still find the fashion industry massively depressing.

This made me wonder for a while about plus size women and their fashion. I mean they must have the same types of thoughts right? Well now they have their own plus size fashion industry. I have seen some of the shows and the models, and these are beautiful women and beautiful clothes. I mean there are beautiful larger women that make their living as models, defying all the stereotypes that society has set about that bigger women aren’t as beautiful as thin women.

Now I do have to say though, that while I admire this fashion industry that has sprung up, I am a little confused as to where the designs are being implemented. I mean for other clothes the designers prance them out and then other smaller companies start imitating the styles and soon a new trend starts and they are available in all the stores. However, I have yet to really see this in the plus size fashion world. It still seems as though there is a lack of beautiful clothes for plus size women. I would really like see more stores and boutiques built around these fashions out there for plus size women. I think it would help make people more proud of themselves and their bodies.

apparelland asked:

Apparel fashion trends and fashion sense are total two different types of style. We as fashion gurus live and breath to distinguish the difference and judge life styles by this. That’s why fashion is one of the billion dollars industries in the world.

Celebrities are the main advertisement s for designers aside from television shows and magazines that we see and read everyday. Having a sense of fashion is someone staying current with the new season’s style like the color palettes, fabrics and cuts. As for trends, it’s more of a style that is worn a certain way at anytime of any season but worn with confidence and pride.

Apparel fashion has become a main part of life now a day. Apparel fashion not only shows personality, creativity, character but most of all status of class. With out conscious effort we compliment, judge or envy fashion on others which in end drives us to have or work for better wear.

We express many things through fashion and what we wear its gives us a peace of mind and security with society as well as ourselves to be current with the fashion season and trend. The original fashion capitals where fashion is very important and where most designers live and work are in the fashion capitals such as New York, Milan, London and Paris.

Majority choices and trends originate from these cities and than domino effect down across the world. The Apparel fashion world is a very fast pace industry and cut throat. As long as you have a fashion sense, tough skin, drive and motivation, you will succeed and be successful in this industry.

The Apparel fashion world is a 24 hours 365 days a year industry that does not sleep. New ideas are thought up, manufactured and sent out for purchase. With this people have to be aware of what’s fashionable and what is obsolete. With our fine media and broadcasting this has given people the chance to experiment and decide what trend they would like to follow from across the world.

Doug Smith asked:

Creating outfits consisting of cheap trendy clothes is difficult to do while avoiding selling your soul. Prior to traveling to the major fashion cities such as NYC, London, Paris, and Milan, I was pretty clueless. After living abroad for a while, I got an idea of how the locals could afford to dress so well. Here are some of the basic tips:

It’s necessary to know at least the guidelines of the timeless, big city styles you find in the major fashion cities. You want to avoid looking as if you just strolled out of a midwestern Highschool. Most of the clothing you find aren’t coated in huge, gaudy labels as can be seen on tastless mall clothing and fake designer gear. If you go for even, solid patterns and colors and pay attention to the silhouette (doesn’t need to be slim, but rather well-fitting), you’re already way ahead. Where can you find this stuff without spending a fortune?

One way to get high fashion, designer-brand clothing at a fraction of the full (and unaffordable) retail price is via sample sales. Even when living in a city where these sample sales are abundant, it can still be tough getting ahold of them. Fortunately, you can do it all online! Within recent years (and months) exclusive sample sales are starting to pop up on the internet. If you’re interested in this, just google “internet sample sales” or similar keywords.

Even though this special type of sale offers great discounts, it can still be too costly. The way I’ve found most people get cheap trendy clothes is just picking the right retailers. There are a few, select stores that pay very close attention to high fashion trends in designing their lines. You’ll be able to get nearly the exact same style high fashion brands offer at literally a tenth of the price. These shops are Zara, H&M, as well as Uniqlo, and occasionally Urban Outfitters. You should also look to American Apparel to offer the same styles – American Apparel offers a ton of plain, well fitting clothes for relatively cheap.

Things to avoid:

Stay Away from the mall! Virtually any clothing find within mall department stores is cut to fit awfully baggy, and unflatteringly. Most Americans are way overweight, and even these clothes are too big and awkward looking on most people. Also, stay away from designer clothes on auction sites like Ebay! Even though some items may appear to be legit (coming with hologrammed tags and whatnot), they’re going to be fake and extremely low quality. If a manufacturer can make the clothes, surely they can make authentic looking tags, right?

Don’t forget about thrift stores. If you have an eye for style or check up on what’s going on in the fashion world, you can easily put together old or random clothes into stylish looks. I’ve seen a lot of people in NYC and abroad try this and it can work if you know what you’re doing. For more fashion tips and secrets, visit our blog (below)

garretlloyd asked:

‘Eco fashion’ is a relatively new term in the fashion industry and it basically refers to clothes and accessories that are produced responsibly and are made using eco-friendly products. According to STEP (Sustainable Technology Education Product), eco-fashion clothes pay attention to “the environment, working conditions of the people in the [fashion] industry and the health of the consumers.” Thus, these clothes are the result of a conscious attempt to strike the perfect balance with nature while keeping all parties happy.

As you can see, eco-fashion clothes have a stringent criterion to live up to. So, they are made using natural, recycled organic raw materials. It is important that eco fashion clothes be organic because only then can they serve the purpose. For instance, most of our clothes are made of cotton. But, did you know that cotton crop accounts for a large share of pesticides used today? Thus, the thrust of eco fashion clothes is to use products that do not harm the environment in anyway, actively or passively. Eco-fashion clothes even go so far as to shun harsh, artificial chemicals and dyes. Additionally, these clothes are made in a responsible environment, by people who are earning fair wages for the honest labor they put in.

Some of the characteristics of true-blue eco-fashion is:

These clothes are generally locally made. So, they are made of eco-friendly materials.

Eco-fashion is 100% organic. Organic material is made using very little pesticide, if any.

Eco-friendly clothes are made in a fair and honest environment. You may probably have to pay more for these clothes, but you can wear them with pride and happiness because you know that the people manufacturing these clothes are paid their fair share. Thus, these clothes are made in an eco-conscious manner and are produced by eco-conscious companies.

Eco-fashion is recycled. Vintage stores have some of the best collections of recycled clothes. These clothes are trendy and they make use of recycled scarves, t-shirts, costumes and curtains.

These days, you can see an increasing desire to go green. Many superstars take great pride in showcasing their eco-fashion clothes. Others have even resorted to shocking advertisements in order to draw attention to the exploitation of animals in producing fashionable clothes. With all the negativity associated with it, fashion, as we knew it, is slowly undergoing a revolution. Today, ‘eco-fashion’ is displayed in high profile dos like the Fashion Week in NY and London. Many upscale retailers are also happy to house these products. That is why many designers are producing striking designs, styles and colors in eco-friendly clothes. With all this activity, the emerging green ‘belt’ of the world is undoubtedly catching the attention of many, many people.

Eco fashion clothes are generally made with 100% organic cotton, bamboo fiber, hemp or cashmere. Many of the dresses so produced are chic, elegant and sexy enough to leave people gasping with delight. Eco-fashion clothes are an attempt to keep nature clean and pure. It is an attempt to combine the needs of the society with the demands of the earth.
