A HEEL DRESSES UP ANY OUTFIT

Anything black looks like it costs more.

Don’t spend too much on anything overly trendy.

Shop in different departments than you usu­ally shop (juniors, boys, men’s, etc.)

Flea markets and thrift stores are chock-full of bargains.

A good pair of heels works with everything and makes it look like you paid more.

T-shirts are basics that know no class lines.

DON’T PUT DOWN A GREAT BUY BECAUSE IT’S

MISSING A BUTTON OR HAS

PEN MARK. SHOW IT TO THE STORE MANAGER AND ASK FOR AN EXTRA DISCOUNT. JUST BE SURE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE YOU WEAR IT!

IT’S NO BARGAIN IF…

• It itches, chafes, or causes discomfort.

• It looks like it’s been tried on just a few too many times.

• The color isn’t right for you.

• You have nothing else to wear with it.

DISCOUNT STORE HINTS

Choose basic colors. Stores like Target always stock classic colors at incredibly inexpensive prices.

Know when a store gets in new merchandise. Ask the store manager when their truck makes deliveries.
