Shopping Online Part II

Shopping Online

Part II: Amazon


Hopefully you've already read my tips in part one so I don't have to repeat myself. Amazon much like Ebay has it's own idea of labeling and merchandise. However unlike Ebay you're more likely to find comany marked down items as opposed to consumer marked down items. Either way it is a solid win-win situation for you.

Part I: Ebay

Listen, to properly buy clothes I highly recommend going into the stores and trying on the clothes. This is probably the best way to buy almost anything. You can literally see what you're getting. However there are time where a great online deal cannot be passed up, especially on Ebay. I swear it's like this site has more clothes deals and steals than any other place.

Know Your Body

If you haven't, I suggest going into a store and getting measured. Get measured, weighed, all that jazz then write it down or remember it. So knowing your jacket size cuts down on a lot of searching and trying on jackets. This idea applies to all other items of clothing. Also if you know what size you wear, even if it doesn't fit exactly right, you can always get it tailored. A poorly fitted jacket will cost more to tailor.

How Do I Spend My Money?

How To Spend Money


So you have some extra spending cash, probably from birthdays or other holidays or maybe you just found $100 on the sidewalk. Now how are you going to spend it? Let's assume you'll be spending it all on clothes, for the sake of the blog people, after all that is why we are here. Although if you wanted to spend that cool $100 on steak I would not judge you. Anyway, back to the point, how to spend that $100.

$100, Where Should It Go?

First identify where your wardrobe could use a makeover. The basic areas to look at are shoes, pants, and tops. So identify what areas you're diving into. I recommend tops before pants and pants before shoes. Ideally all you should need is two or three pairs of shoes. However, I'm not here to tell you what you should buy, but rather how you should spend that extra cash.
