I have been thinking a lot lately about my clients and my own shopping habits and I want to ask you a question.
When was the last time you went clothes shopping and only because you really needed something?
It should come as no surprise that studies have shown anywhere between 70-90 percent of garment shopping is emotionally based.
Ask yourself, How often do you buy a new piece?
Once a week or once a month perhaps once per three months.
Whatever your answer is, as a Personal stylist I have found a better way of shopping.
If you are looking to make a difference, there are a variety of ways you can do this.
Because our society is driven by consumerism one of the best ways to benefit your own budget , save the environment at the same time and satisfy your shopping craving for unique goods is to Shop SECOND HAND.
Consignment shops, Vintage stores and Second Hand shops all offer the opportunity to utilise beautiful designer items which no longer serve their initial buyer but still have a long life use that can benefit another.
These items are much more affordable and you have the thrill of the HUNT.
Huge Brand names, arrival of new items daily, high end finds, at low end prices and the money stays in the community.
Luzern has some of the very best Second Hand stores I have experienced anywhere in the world with offerings and savings well over 60 percent for Designer goods.
Some still with the original price tags hanging on them..
Adopt an attitude toward spending by looking for what you need in our Second Hand Shops for new and gently used items.
I really enjoy the challenge of Second Hand Shopping and hope that these tips help you to enjoy it too.
