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.

Send me YOUR favorites!

Each month I will feature five favorites from my readers. (That's YOU!)
Please send me at least one, and up to as many as you want, of your favorite items this month. This may include anything having to do with fashion: tops, bottoms, dresses, shoes, accessories, etc. I want to feature my readers' choices to have some more variety with the items I list. The items don't necessarily have to adhere to The Shopping Diet, but they shouldn't be super expensive, since, I am promoting budget shopping!

Here are the rules:
1. With the item you send, please include where you found it and the price.
2. Please include your name or the name you'd like to be referred as.
3. Please email me your favorites to either of my email addresses.(See blog main page at bottom)

Out of the items I receive I'll pick the top five to feature.

So let's do this!
