Marjie's Shopping Diet


The Shopping Diet is my way of passing along words of advice to fellow self-proclaimed shopaholics so they can buy on a budget.
You don't have to make a fortune to buy today's latest trends and have a closet full of fun. Here I'll blog about tricks I've learned over the years that allow me to shop when I want, buy (mostly) what I want, keep my closet happy and feel good about myself, all while staying within my budget.
To me, bargain hunting is a thrilling challenge. It takes skill, drive and passion to know what you're looking for, find it, and get it for less than everyone else. I take pride in the fact that although I don't usually spend more than $20 or $30 on any one item, I'm always getting compliments on my clothes and accessories. Some of my most successful shopping experiences have resulted in a $5 pair of black patent flats that I've worn almost every day for the past two years, and a $4 black scarf that goes with anything.
I don't just tell people to buy things on sale, or only buy something when it's on sale. Part of The Shopping Diet is doing research so you get the best possible deal on something you really want/need. It's about weighing your options and making good choices.
For me fashion is all about how YOU want to look and feel. Wear what you want and you'll always look good.

For best results, be very sneaky

I love feminine sneaks for spring. You can own many a pair without draining out your wallet, you just have to know where to look. Lucky for you, you're reading my blog and I will help you with just that:


$10, Wet Seal





$10, Go Jane





$16.99, Old Navy





$10, Wet Seal





$9, Wal-Mart (Faded Glory)





$9, Target (Mossimo)




Until recently, I was strickly a flip flop/gladiator/wedge girl when it came to spring and summer footwear. But I have discovered the cuteness of fashion sneaks: you can wear them with jeans, cargo capris, a jean skirt, or do them down with black athletic pants. They're not only cute, but provide you with coverage when you're out and about. (that kind of coverage flips flops lack, if you know what I mean.)
And, sneaks are known for being comfortable! Be comfortable AND look cute?! Yes, it's possible with cute sneaks! So find yourself a pair or two, or three, in every color you love, and start pairing them with your fabulous outfits.
