What
is a classic?
That is a question I ask
myself as I write the word "classic" when referring to shoes a
skirt
or any article of clothing.
So...
What is a classic? A true classic is an article of clothing
that
has enduring wear ability. We should be able to see a film or image
at a particular outfit ten, twenty or thirty years from now and think
how a great looking it is instead of laughing.

pay close attention to the clothes , particularly the
details.

Shopping tip 101
Shopping tip
One of the best ways to stay focused while shopping is to take a
picture with you out of one of your favorite magazines.
If
you take an image with you, not only will it help you and a sales staff
to pull together the look you want, but it will also help you stay
focused on what you came to the store for in the first place as well as
save money.
Source your magazines-meaning pull out the
information that inspires you, put it in a binder and recycle the rest.
I started doing this when I was in college and it has been a lot of
fun. It also save time and space saver.
