Some years ago I read about a good trick in some magazine on how to help yourself to sort out what clothes and styles you like and to shop accordingly. Basically, you create your own “fashion book” where you keep pictures from magazines and internet websites/blogs. Then, when you go shopping just look at the pictures and put a shopping list together. I use it not only for this but also when I get bored of outfits I’ve been wearing for some time already. I always come up with new outfits which is definitely good for my wallet. I started my fashion book in July 2010 and since then I collected 270 pages.
I usually get the urge to go shopping mid-season like now (January sales are longtime gone and July sales far to see…) and by finding new outfit inspirations I can actually restrain myself. This time I found 55 outfits I could create just by mixing different clothes I already have! No shopping here for sure! But of course when creating these new outfits I also created a shopping list (57 items) which I will keep till July sales:).
Here are the websites I cruise from time to time and print pictures for my fashion book:
