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.

It's 6 o'clock somewhere

One of my favorite shopping sites (particularly for shoes) is 6pm, and you'll see why. It's got almost any brand you can think of at the lowest prices. A dream come true for those on The Shopping Diet, right? Right.
Here I'll post some of my favorite pairs of shoes for spring, all under $10. $10 can buy lunch for you and a friend, or a book, or half a tank of gasoline, or 10 dollar menu items at McDonald's. Or, it can buy you a pair of shoes. Yes, really. Really? Really. 6pm.com. Yes, really.
