Personal shoppers are only for the rich, right? Not true. You can afford a professional personal shopping who comes with the price tag of free. Now that is a deal that you can use.
A personal shopper can be a great idea for you any of the following are true:
- You aren’t sure what your own personal style is
- You don’t know what shapes, lengths and colors look good on you
- You recently have had a weight change, either up or down
- You recently have had a lifestyle change
- You have a special occasion to attend and you aren’t sure what to wear
- You aren’t sure how to accessorize.
A personal shopper can zero in on your needs as well as what will work best for you, and keep it all within your budget. The personal shopper will also be familiar with the merchandise and can pull exactly the pieces that are needed in your size.
So, how do you get your own personal shopper for free? It is easy. Just understand which stores offer the service for free. Many of the better department stores do, as well as specialty boutiques. Macy’s and J. Crew are two of these stores.
You should feel comfortable working with your personal shopper. If you aren’t for any reason, you can ask if there is someone else who can help. Choose a time that works best for you. Taking advantage of having a personal shopper generally requires more focused time than just pulling a couple of things off of the rack on your own.
Make it clear to your personal shopper exactly what you are looking for. It helps to be open minded and try some new things, but make the really important deal breakers known to your personal shopper, such as your budget or the amount of skin that you are willing to reveal.
