Spring Runway 2009
I think it’s fun looking at the runway bags and getting ideas for what to buy for yourself. So, here you go…
10 tips to help make your shopping experience easy and fun! Shopping can be a big hassle… when you are not prepared! Clothing, Shoes, Accessories! Here’s what I’ve learned about being efficient and getting what you want while you shop.
*It saves a lot of time and stress when you have an idea of what you want to purchase. Looking through catalogs, store websites or just knowing what’s missing from your closet can really make a difference with time and can help you avoid buyers remorse. It also gives you an idea of what stores have and where to shop.
*Avoid wearing bulky tops and sweaters. Running from store to store makes extra layers get in the way and can get hot and sweaty.
*Wear a top that can be easily pulled off and on in the dressing room without a lot of hassle. Avoid wearing layers; you waste time taking them off and on and adjusting. We want more of that time to find the clothing that really speaks to who you are!
*Accessories and Makeup: wear comfortable shoes that are easy to slip on slip off. Avoid lot’s of jewelry that you have to move around or take off in order to try on clothing. Avoid wet lipstick or lipstick that smears easily; lets not get the clothing soiled before we even own it!
*Wear pants that come on and off easily. Avoid pants that have multiple buttons to button, etc.
*Bring a light weight bag (if you are like me and can’t go without one). Bring a little snack or small water bottle to make the trip convenient and for a energy boost.
*Wear a light weight jacket (if you have to have one because of cold weather outside).
*Give yourself enough time to browse for the styles that you will love and the right fit! So, when you take it out and put in on the next day you will still be in love!
*Bring clothing or accessories from home if you need to find complimentary pieces to match them. Or take pictures of them (on your digital camera or cell) if they are too big or annoying to bring in your bag.
*Most of all… know your body type, your colors and YOUR unique style! And be willing to try new things!
You might be thinking “I want to look great while I shop, how can I when I can’t wear all the jewelry and such” I agree, you should look great while you shop! Just do it smart! And buy pieces that you love! Pieces that you feel great in and that speak to you!
“It worked!” wrote a Utah Valley resident returning from travel abroad. “My travel cluster of clothes met my every need, including comfort in hot and cold weather!”
Traveling with only carry-on luggage means taking one small, well- planned, cluster of clothes in which everything goes with everything else.
This resilient traveler took with her a skirt, a pair of pants, five tops, a pullover sweater-knit, and a jacket plus a scarf, a necklace, and two pairs of shoes.
That was it for two weeks. It all fit into her roller-board, along with pajamas, underwear, stockings, essential grooming needs and a couple of books.
The skirt was a paisley print. Everything else was a solid color to mix and match as her mood or the weather allowed. Shoes included leather flats and a canvas wedge. When the weather was cool, the pullover sweater-knit layered over the tops and under the jacket with pants. With nine easy pieces, she could dress up or down as she liked.
This summer I spent 16 days touring the Alps on a motorcycle. My husband and I didn’t have much space for clothes. Motorcycle pants, jacket, shirt and boots were it most of the time. My husband packed khaki pants and jeans, two button-front shirts and two pullover knit shirts, a lightweight jacket, a belt, socks, shoes and underwear.
I, however, wanted to look and feel feminine after a long day on the bike. I wanted to take along a dress — one that didn’t wrinkle. I packed about the same as my husband, with the exception being a black “slinky” knit dress. Slinky is an easy-care, acetate/spandex fabric you can stuff into anything and have it come out looking terrific!
We had just ridden an exciting switchback road that took us down into Italy, past a picture-perfect lake and into a delightful little town where we decided to have a midday meal. The restaurant was far too charming for motorcycle gear. By the side of the bike, I took off my motorcycle jacket and boots, pulled out that slinky dress, pulled it over my head, and wiggled out of my motorcycle pants. Ballet flats tucked into a pocket finished my look. Slinky is a must for women who travel, available at local department and chain stores and through catalogs.
Whatever your destination, you can travel the globe looking credible and capable in high-tech microfiber — lightweight, durable, easy care and moderately priced. Local stores carry great- looking, microfiber polyester wind and rain-resistant jackets, perfect for casual vacation occasions. Travel Smith catalog offers tough, easy-care microfiber in traditional safari styling with matching pants for a sporty, suited look.
Cotton polo shirts and tight-knit tees look sporty under these relaxed jackets. Choose colors that lift your spirits. Rayon- polyester microfiber shirts feel luxurious and look sharp under a black leather blazer or microfiber bomber jacket. A textured ripple effect keeps wrinkles at bay. Security pockets hold cards, tickets and passports.
Easily packable pieces such as cotton twill chino pants are great for the guys, combining well with perma-press shirts in solids and checks. For women, there are packable chino skirts and polished cotton capris. A braided leather belt and leather loafers work for dressier looks, while canvas shoes provide a sporty look.
(For protection from the sun, now there’s sunblock you can actually wear. Lightweight shirts and pants come in soft, fast- drying Supplex that wicks away body moisture while it shields your skin. Then play it safe and wear a hat.)
