Think outside the shoebox


A good friend of mine once said to me "Shopping is my favorite sport." I agree, and like any sport you need to prepare a little and dress appropriately. Specifically, I'm talking footwear. Far too often I see men with tennis shoes trying on pants and suits. Would you wear those gym shoes with the suit you're trying on? If your answer is anything other than an immediate no, turn the computer off. Leave the cave and be sure to pin your address to the inside of your shirt so someone can help you find the way home. When shopping be sure to have the shoes you would wear with the suit or outfit you are purchasing. Not only will this help you get better idea of how the completed ensemble looks, it can also prevent you from fashion mistakes and impulse buying. Don't want to take your shoes with you. Stop by the shoe department and ask for the pair you are intending. For those who may dread the dressing room, a simple adjustment such as this can ease those dressing room anxieties and result in a more pleasurable shopping experience.
