The 5 F's Of Shopping
Have you ever been standing in the fitting room and wished for a quick guideline to help you decide – do I buy or do I pass? Well, I have just the thing for you – the 5 F’s of shopping!
Print this out. Carry it in your purse. Put it in your phone. Let it become your mantra. These guidelines will help you learn how to make conscious decisions when shopping so that you can truly cultivate your ideal wardrobe.
1FIT - Does it fit well with minimal alterations?
A good fit is key, no matter what the price or the size. A great fit can sometimes happen off the rack, but it can just as easily come from your trusted tailor. Build the price of the alterations into the equation when buying, if necessary, to determine if it’s still a good value. This is non-negotiable.
2FLATTER - Does it flatter your figure and style?
You want the color to be a flattering hue, the silhouette to flatter your figure and the style to resonate with your StyleFinder ID®. You want to be sure the item doesn’t wear you, but also that it doesn’t get lost on you. Like Goldilocks and the three bears, you want your garment to be just right.
3 FUNCTION - How does it work in your closet and for your lifestyle?
When buying an item of clothing it should go with at least 3 things you already own. It also should be something that fits into your lifestyle. Buy only what you need, for the life you live right now.
4FEEL - Does it feel great on?
You want to buy clothing that feels good on your body. A piece of clothing may look great on the rack, but once you put it on, how do you feel? This question alone can be your determining factor. When in doubt, leave it out!
5FABULOUS - Does it make you feel like a million bucks?
Fabulous is a state of mind, my dear, and should be how you feel when you get dressed in the morning. Buy only what you LOVE and leave the rest. Because you’re worth it!
Take these tips to heart, but don’t keep them to yourself. Share them with all your friends so that they too can learn to enjoy shopping and know just what’s right for them.
