In 1968 I bought a gray sweater with black leather details on the front, with a large slouchy turtle neck. I loved that sweater! It was $100 and I put it on a credit card. It was the best purchase I ever made!! I wore that sweater for at least 15 years! I didn't want to give it up, but after having kids, I had put on too much weight to wear it! I wore it a lot and it was well loved!!

Lol, love the final sale advice. Just bought a final sale and no return coat online...was still pricey and I HATE it. Never again. Thanks for reinforcing the point!

I really love Ralph Lauren items. They are well made and comfortable but I don’t really want to spend over $100 on a T-shirt. Occasionally, I can find them on sale. Last week, I found the perfect shirt but in the wrong color. It is a coral red. I am a blue/gray kind of girl. I bought the shirt anyway because it fits like a glove. Wearing it right now and I am finding that I actually like this color even though I never wore anything like it before😊

I think my worst purchases were:

1) those I bought to go with a tricky-to-style item in my wardrobe, they never worked out. I would keep buying other items, but eventually gave away all those and the original item that I was trying to style, what a waste of time and money;

2) trying to wear colors recommended by my pro color analysis that I didn’t really like on me, grays and purples; and 

3) any items where I compromised on my natural-fiber fabric and genuine leather footwear only rules, they’re just not wearable. Now I spend more for great fabrics and materials, but buy fewer things, no more fast-fashion.

I have a few nice, simple, mostly solid-color silk dresses that work well for any formal, or serious, occasion. I’ve never attended a black-or white-tie event, so I don’t need a dress for that. If I ever go to one, I would rent a really nice one. I wear my silk dresses for everyday, too, why not? Their comfort can’t be exceeded and they’re so simple to dress down.

AMAZING tips! I’m glad this video was recommended to me when it was b/c I was JUST about to buy multiple final sale items in weird sizes online 😭😭

I wll buy final sale items if I have and love them already in another color. For example, I just got a pair of Stuart Weitzman thigh-high suede boots (the best) in beige, I already have them in black. They run about $800 normally and I got them for $300, I’m thrilled with this deal. They’re not the trendiest boot style this year, but are such great top-quality basics for those awkward-length skirts, like those that cut right across the kneecap, that I end up with, being petite. I find myself wearing more light-colored outfits in the last few years and don’t want to wear black boots with them.

Oh I pulled the too small shoe thing! They’re sitting in the trunk of my car right now headed to Goodwill! Ugh!

Every.Single.One. - yep each and every mistake has been mine - thanks for a great video!

I recently bought a pair of shoes that are a size 7 and a half. I usually buy a size 8 but they didn’t have them in an 8 😅 and I said same as you, they’ll stretch.. I hope 🤞

I'm going to sit down and work out my purchase criteria RIGHT NOW! I can be so indecisive when shopping so in the past have just bought the things... not anymore! I like a structure so I think having criteria will be so good! X

How do you find someone in your coloring and body shape?
I am 6p 5’4” slim pear with true summer coloring with grey ( pixie) hair.
I can’t find any matches, any ideas?

Here’s a BIG mistake....do not get the store credit card just to get that one time discount. Don’t fall for this and don’t be pressured by the sales clerk. She gets a commission on this. You’ll end up buying more than you can pay for in a timely manner.
