Purse Shopping Tips

On Friday, I went into Dillard’s to see if they had any good party dresses on sale. On my loop around the store, I ended up in the purse section. Being the pursaholic that I am, (I would buy a new one every day if I could afford it.) I decided to look at what they had. By the time I was done, I bought a clutch and a crossbody, for $33.  Both were on sale. Regularly price they would have cost over $100. It was a great deal.

I thought I would pass my purse purchasing tips along. First, if you’re in the market to spend $50 or more on a bag, go to Dillard’s. Although you won’t find high end brands like Louis Vuitton or Prada, it has great mid-range bags. They have pretty much the same selection of bags as Macy’s but they’re cheaper. There’s no reason you should pay more when you can walk across the mall and get it for cheaper. 

My second tip is to check out the sales. When I went there, some things were 70 percent off. Even if the store is usually out of your price range, you might find something really great on sale. It doesn’t hurt to check it out, unless you’re like me and have a hard time not buying anything when you go in. In which case, if you don’t really have the money for it, you probably shouldn’t go in until you do. 

I also like to get bags from Target and Old Navy. Target has some really cute things, but at times can feel overprice. Old Navy is great for more casual bags, but I’ve had a few bags that weren’t very good quality. Nevertheless, you can get some cute stuff from there. If you check out sales, then it won’t hurt too much if it wears out quickly. 

Sales are beautiful thing in the world of a financially conscious fashionista.
