As the winter wraps up, it is now time to think of the warmer weather, and more importantly, Spring Shopping!
To prepare you for shopping success, here are some of my favorite tips from How to Win at Shopping:
• Just because you haven’t heard of a label doesn’t mean anything. A lot of private labels in department stores are good quality and made at the same factories as the high-end brands.
• Shop for boots and shoes in the afternoon, because your feet may swell. If you shop in the morning, you might not buy the proper size. If there is weatherproofing offered in the footwear department, buy it right away and use it.
• If something needs to be altered, drive from the store to the tailor or, at least, keep the item in your car so you can drop it off so it can be ready to wear when you need it.
• Switch over wardrobes, and keep the current season’s clothes where you can easily reach them.
• Look at what you get complimented on and repeat the formula when shopping and reach for the same silhouette and/or color.
• Shop throughout the year, and think about your lifestyle while shopping. If you know you will be going to several parties, shop for cocktail dresses in advance of the event and not the day before.
Your own personal version of red, your Romantic Color is taken from your flushed skin, evoking the vitality of the blood that flows through your arteries. This is the color that reveals your passion, your sexual energy, and your romantic self. In short , it is the perfect color to wear on a Valentines Day date!
The color that expresses your passion and love might indeed be red—but it might also be tangerine, fuchsia, berry, rust, or even mahogany.
Follow these steps to reveal the color that shows your warmest, most passionate self:
1. In natural light, hold your hand over a white piece of paper with your palm facing you. Curl your fingers so that your palm is “cupped.”
2. Look carefully at the most flushed areas of your palm and notice the shade.
3. Now, place a finger on each side of the fingerprint of your index finger and pinch your finger. What is the color of your flushed skin?
4. Look in the bottom of your palm on the side closest to your little finger.
5. If your palm includes deeper shades that make it difficult to see this color, you might want to hold your hand next to your gums. The contrast will help bring out the different shades in your palm.
Once you have identified the perfect Romantic Color, head to the cosmetics counter and choose a lipstick that matches it. You can wear this color in a lipstick or gloss and then bring the tube with you to match when shopping for the perfect Valentines Day outfit.
What exactly should you be looking for?
Nothing is sexier than a simple solid-colored dress or top in this color, and following the shape of your jaw is the perfect no-fail neckline.
I have spent my career helping women feel like the best versions of themselves. When it comes to feeling beautiful, I discovered that it is not about chasing trends, transforming yourself into an ideal, or even shifting one inch out of your comfort zone. It is all about identifying and magnifying the unique, individual and beautiful woman that you are!
