JJs, please tell us about your experience in shopping for clothes.

Before I get started, let me tell you a joke: A woman is crawling in the hot desert. It is really hot and she is unbearably thirsty. There are two signposts ahead; one says drinking 50 meters ahead. Water, another block says there is a discount on a certain brand of clothing 1000 meters ahead. Guess which direction he will climb to nirvana? Xixi, I am obligated to crawl to the discount place calmly. I wonder if all of you jm are as nirvana as me----

Women are born to love beauty, and they are very stinky. Shopping for clothes and shopping is one of life's great pleasures. We women who were born in the 1970s were in a very miserable state. We were indoctrinated with unhealthy ideas from an early age, and we were told not to be too beautiful or too expressive. It was because of these ideas that we were educated and went down so many wrong paths. It was not until the past two years that we truly After realizing what kind of clothes suit me, I slowly learned to buy clothes and dress up. It's a pity that I am getting old now. Sorry, I got off topic! Based on many years of shopping experience (this is really a history of blood and tears, so-called experience is gained with countless money and physical strength), I created this post in order to save those beauties who are still struggling with their stinky beauty.

The credo I believe in when buying clothes is the "minimum regret principle" - that is, you should wear it often after buying it, so that you won't feel bad or regret it after two days. Never settle for anything less when buying clothes, I believe in love at first sight. Often the first thing you see is the one that suits you. If you look around in front of the mirror three times for a piece of clothing and still can't decide whether to buy it, then you'd better not buy it. You'll probably regret it if you buy it. Under normal circumstances, you should trust your own intuition. No one knows you better than yourself, and the opinions of friends can only be used as a reference.

The first question is, who should I go shopping with? Most JMs usually go shopping with their work colleagues, classmates, sisters or husbands, and some will solve it alone. Generally speaking, going shopping with your husband is a bad idea. Most men only want a quick solution, so if you ask him for his opinion, he will just nod in agreement or be confused. My husband's famous saying is "How is it? Choose well." "Okay, okay, I'll pay." In fact, men also know the real purpose of accompanying their wives to buy things - to pay. It can be seen that of course many of the things bought under such circumstances are regrettable. But the problem is, if we don’t go shopping with my husband, we will never have the chance to take advantage of it. There is a way after all. Every time you go shopping, you always pester him and make sure he goes with you. Of course he is very reluctant, so you take the opportunity to accept it and ask him for a discount. In this way, you have achieved your goal. He also spends money to feel relaxed.

The second is to go shopping with friends and colleagues, which is the most common situation. It's really difficult to find a shopping partner. First, you have to have the same physical strength. I have had this experience. I went shopping in Intime with my friend. She complained of dizziness every time she entered the mall. I had just started and he wanted to go back. He even felt dizzy once when he got to the door, so I had to accompany him back. From then on, I never went shopping with him again. Second, if you feel that your taste is not good enough and you want to improve, find some colleagues in your work unit who think the clothes they wear match your taste and go shopping with you, and observe how they choose clothes. You can also find some colleagues with similar vision to go shopping together. The process of shopping is also a learning process to improve your fashion sensitivity and aesthetic ability. It's best not to look for colleagues who are completely different from you. Even if you go there, don't buy, otherwise you will be influenced by them and buy a lot of regretful things. Third, go shopping with those who dare to tell the truth. If you ask many people if this dress looks good on me, they will say it’s okay. What do you mean by okay? Then the salesperson tried his best to say that you are good at jumping poles and have a good temperament. The little sister was vague, so she bought it in a daze. A really good partner should be outspoken about what's bad and what's good, and put forward constructive suggestions and say what's wrong. After being together for a long time, they will understand your figure, your hobbies, and go shopping, and they will have a better understanding.

Many girls also like to shop alone, and I do too. The things I buy alone are often what I like, and there is less interference from others. If you go alone, be careful to bring as few things as possible. It is best to bring money and other valuables with you.

Don't be afraid of trouble and try on as many clothes as possible. Even if you definitely won't buy this type of clothes, you can still try them on so that you can explore the breadth of your clothing range. In short, try on as many clothes as possible (various All styles are available in one go), so be careful when buying.

The second question is where to buy and when to buy. JMS is nothing more than shopping malls, Longxiang and other markets, Wulin Road, Density Bridge and other small shops. Comprehensive comparison, I think Wulin Road , density bridge and other small stores are the last resort. The clothes there are no cheaper than in the mall, and it is difficult to bargain. A year ago, I never visited Longxiang. Since it opened on the third floor above, I have gone there often and bought a lot of things. Some of my colleagues in the workplace just want to wear good brands. They scoffed at me when they heard that I bought something from Longxiang. In fact, it’s not that I can’t afford to buy things in the mall, I just feel that I don’t pay attention to famous brands. What I pay attention to when buying clothes is the matching. , in saying that it is the person who wears the clothes, not the clothes that wear the person, no matter how good the clothes are, no matter how expensive they are, they will not show their value when worn on the wrong person. Oh, oh, I'm off topic.

No matter where you buy, jms must first adjust your mentality, especially in Longxiang, don't hold on to the idea that you must buy something today, (see what you like Never show it on your face, pretending that you can buy something or not.) Often I want to buy pants, but what I end up buying is a top. I usually buy a piece of clothing when I go shopping for the second time. This is my second rule, which is to explore the area first to see what I like. If I don’t buy it first, I will go home and think about it. There are some things that I have always remembered, and I will buy them the second time, so I will have less regrets.

The biggest problem with Long Xiang is trying on clothes. You can’t try on pants or underwear. You can try on jackets, but if you try them too many times, your face will be judged. I usually see a store with a style that I like. I will first praise the boss, saying that you have good taste, the clothes here are very nice, etc., and then try again. Most bosses are okay. Some bosses will tell you that this dress is very expensive and ask you if you want to try it on. I confidently said yes, but then after trying it on, they said it was not good here and there was not so good, so I didn’t buy it. Who made him look down on people so much?

When buying clothes in the market, you must decide your psychological price. If you expect to buy clothes for 2 or 30 yuan in Longxiang, it is impossible. Go to Longxiang to buy. In fact, most JM think it is cheaper and more DIY, and they can also spend less money to dress themselves up more beautifully. If it is a cardigan, the sweater type is about 5 or 60, and the jacket is 7 or 80---- 100 yuan, about 100 yuan for a thick winter coat, but some stores are particularly expensive and it is difficult to bargain. You still need to visit a few more stores and compare more. Some items are similar and are available in more than one store. Don’t be too hasty when shopping. It’s best to have one day. Take a good look first, then make a counter-offer, don't be in a hurry. There were a few pieces of clothing that I was too anxious to bargain over and regretted buying them. Although they were cheap, I didn’t like them very much, so I wasted them.

In order to give yourself a step down before making a counter-offer, it is best to discuss it with your boss. If he can sell it at the price you offer, don’t be angry. If there are many buyers at the time, the price you offer will be very low. , it is best to tell him quietly and not to shout, otherwise it will not be sold to you.

The advantage of buying in the mall is that you can try on clothes as you like. Sometimes, you can try out some classic styles in the mall. If you think the price is too high, you can also go there (clothes have been very expensive since last year). Check out a small store, but don’t just look at the style of clothes in a small store, you must also pay attention to the fabric and feel. Some of Longxiang’s bosses wear them themselves, so you can see whether they can lift the ball, whether the fit is good, etc.

Someone above asked me which stores in Longxiang are good. Actually, I can’t tell you. I usually don’t shop in one store. The styles of Longxiang’s items are often very different in each store. Same, I only go to the 3rd floor, not the 2nd floor.

Some girls may be careless when shopping. The shopping method I use is a carpet search, but the speed is still relatively fast. When we go to the third floor, we usually divide it into two halves with the elevator as the boundary, first on the right, then on the left; first the vertical strip, and then the horizontal strip.

I pass by every store and go in when I see a style I like. At this time, I have to look carefully. I have seen almost every piece of clothing, pants, and bags. If I see something I like, I try it on, and then ask my partner to give me advice. You can also try different ones. The style may suit you very well, so you can change your image.

If you really want to change your image, you must start from scratch. A good hairstyle is the key to change.

I seem to be off topic again, haha

As for the time and frequency of shopping, I am like this. Longxiang usually pays back a good price on the morning of Monday to Friday (especially on the morning of Monday to Friday) (It rains). Don’t change clothes early in the morning when the door is closed. (By the way, I forgot to tell you that after buying something, you must tell the boss that it doesn’t fit and you need to change it. This way you have a guarantee. Usually, you have agreed with him. He will definitely change it for you). I even went shopping early in the morning when it was raining, and found out that the price of a furry scarf was more than 300, and it was still 80, but I still refused to give up and didn't buy it. (It’s only over 200 in the mall.) Later, when I went there, the price was more than 100, and I would definitely refuse to drop it. So every time I went there, I had to go to that stall to bargain, waiting for him to lower the price. I imagined that the weather was hot, and I put on spring clothes to see if he would still pay. It can be sold or not.

When I go shopping, if I want to buy something, I just go shopping in a large area. Usually I try to find every opportunity to shop. I generally don’t go to shopping malls for events or anything like that. The fixed time is only twice a year, the shopping mall store celebration, December 31st. Other times, it’s better to rush early than to rush. In short, you should shop often and try often, but don’t buy often. This rule is also suitable for Long Xiang.

The third question, what kind of clothes to buy, is more complicated. Basically, it is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Women are actually quite jealous. Some people won’t praise you when they see what you are wearing today. Others say you look good when they see what you are wearing. Everyone seems to be looking for clues.

Before buying clothes, you must first have a clear understanding of your own figure. Don't blindly blame your poor figure. These can be covered up with clothes. You must be confident. Only confident people buy good clothes. My partner is relatively fat, but now he wears nice clothes so that people ignore his fatness. I am very small, and when I bought clothes, I always thought that they would not be suitable for me. In fact, these ideas should be discarded. No matter what, I should try them on first.

Secondly, it’s about vision and temperament. I believe that Buddha relies on gold and people rely on clothing. Any star can be created. The first step is to open your wardrobe and find classic items, such as white shirts, indigo jeans, double-breasted white or black short coats, small blazers, and beige trousers. wait. The main colors are white, black, blue, beige, and brown (I personally don’t like too dark brown, which looks old-fashioned); the first step is the foundation of the pyramid, so you can invest more money in this part, and strive to be simple in style. Exquisite workmanship. The second step is to cultivate your taste, go shopping with more fashionable girls, and learn how to dress and match from them. You can imitate them, or you can get together with friends at home, open up your wardrobe, and let them help you match it (at this time You must accept other people's opinions with an open mind and never be stubborn), you might as well give it a try according to their opinions. (It’s best to have the opinions of the majority of people, it’s hard to say for one person) This step is the key to improving your own matching level. The third step is to learn how to dress from TV, such as Hong Kong dramas, Korean dramas, and movie stars. You can also download magazines such as Ruili and read them.

In fact, good-looking clothes still need to be accompanied by accessories. There is a hypermarket on the ground floor of Longxiang, but the prices are not cheap, especially some so-called boutique stores, which are even more expensive than shopping malls. I usually don't buy them. The items in Mingzhu Department Store are not expensive, and there is a lot of room for selection. Some of the styles are similar to Longxiang, but they are cheaper.

In fact, every girl can look like a star. To look like a star, you must first choose beautiful and fashionable sunglasses. Nowadays, you don’t have to wear sunglasses only in summer. There are also winter windproof glasses, which are colorful. The lenses are light in color and cover 1/3 of the face. They are very fashionable. Longxiang sells them. The one I bought last time was from Chanel. The asking price was more than 300, but it was still 40. Anyway, As accessories, it doesn’t matter how much you pay. There are also some watches, which are quite expensive and are imitations. Most of them cost around 30 yuan. You can also buy more of these in different styles.

There is a small shop on the Density Bridge that specializes in selling jewelry. They are not expensive, but it is difficult to bargain. Last time, the same item was compared with the small shop on Wulin Road, and the difference was 2 times.

Summer clothes are best worn with some accessories to look more beautiful.

The inner woolen sweater in winter is also very important. Many woolen sweaters, including the very expensive ones sold in shopping malls, will pill, which will look ugly when worn outside, so the woolen sweater is very important. When choosing a sweater, it is best to carefully look at its ingredients. Acrylic is easier to pill. I bought a color18 woolen sweater two years ago. I like the color very much. After wearing it once, it became bloated. It cost 300 yuan. The money was wasted like this. It seems that the brand is not the key. If the sweater is not in a woolly color, such as beige, you can use layered pearl necklaces to enhance the fashion.

Buying clothes, like studying, requires constant progress. Through my observation, some girls are completely different one year ago and one year later. Some girls have not improved, while others have declined. . How can you keep improving your vision?

I believe that all of you will have the experience of facing a closet full of clothes but feeling like you have nothing to wear. In other words, don’t wear the clothes you’ve worn for a year. The opportunity here may be that this year’s style has changed, or your body shape has changed, or maybe your eyes light up when you see a fashion magazine or a fashion girl on the street, and you feel that your clothes are good. earth. And so on, if you have such experience, congratulations, you are making continuous progress. The so-called innovation is to make something new because of the change. Only by seeing the shortcomings of the existing things can we make progress.

But don’t follow the trend blindly. Changing your style is the best way to innovate. The change must start from the beginning (hairstyle). Some guys are timid and can slowly start with a pair of shoes, a piece of clothing, and some accessories. To start, it is usually easiest to make changes in the summer, so you can start from the spring and summer of 2005.

I used to only wear casual clothes, but now I have started to try a variety of styles.

Try to tap your own dressing potential. We will find that some girls look good in anything they wear, but in fact they are not very beautiful. This is because their dressing range is wide, and most of us are limited to similar ones. style. This is related to the person as a whole, such as hairstyle (I have mentioned hairstyle here again and again, a good hairstyle that suits you is very important, I really recommend a perm for girls with small faces), such as shoes, the last thing I want to buy in Longxiang is shoes. I have the highest requirements for shoes, and I am willing to spend money. I don’t want to buy off-brand ones. First of all, I pay attention to the feel of the feet. Secondly, big-name shoes are fashionable and have good styles. Some girls look good on them, but a pair of shoes ruins the whole thing. Okay. The shoes can be the finishing touch.
