It Pays to Reverse Tradition

This past fall (Oct 2012) while checking out the new fall fashions, I saw this very chic suede jacket at Stein Mart.  The MSRP was $420, and Stein Mart’s “Everyday Discount Price” was $249.99.  I don’t know about you, but $200 is my shopping budget for the entire fall season!

Anyway, I took a picture of the suede jacket and put it on my fashion board.  According to my color ring, I already have several items this jacket would compliment very well. But based on the price, I’ll just have to wait for my savvy shopping months (Jan, Feb, and Mar).

I must warn you, waiting several months before swiping your closet account card to buy an item takes a lot of patience and discipline-- two traits a lot of women don’t have when it comes to buying clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry, etc.   Plus, there is so much pressure from the fashion pundits to buy NOW.   They will give you several reasons why you should shop in season, and most times we don’t need any convincing.  We talk ourselves into buying now because: 

v  I have to buy it now before they sell out.

v  I’ll be the first to have it.

v  It’s one of Oprah’s favorites.

v  It’s the last one in my size.

v  It’s On Sale.

v  It’s Hot!  Seen it in every magazine.

v  It’s something that I really really need.
 
When practicing reverse tradition, the risks are great, but the rewards are even greater.  But I am a confirmed believer that waiting does pays. Here’s my story:
 
It’s January—a good time to buy fall fashions and the jacket is still there and marked down to $166.94.  Nope, not A Savvy Buyer’s price, I’ll check back next month.  It’s February—a great time to buy fall fashions and the jacket is still there marked at $124.95.  Nope, I’ll wait another month.  Now it’s March, the best time to buy fall fashions, but I’m not willing to pay $61.95, and again I leave without the jacket.
It’s April and I have my extra 25% off “All Red Dot Clearance” coupon so I visit Stein Mart and quickly browse the racks for fall items, purposely ignoring all of the fresh new spring fashions.  And what do you know, there is one suede jacket on the rack and it’s marked down to $14.95.  With my coupon, I paid a whopping $11.21 for a $420 suede jacket.
Remember, Fashion Buyers place orders several months in advance.  While I can’t wear the jacket for several months, the price keeps me content until the weather cools.

  5. You can carry it with you always and enjoy your vaporization
    session anytime you want. Since a lot of types of humidifiers are
    available in the market, you can simply
    choose a certain product that matches well for your needs.
    Another way to alleviate your pet's sinus problems is to provide enough steam to unclog their nostrils.

  8. Due to the ban of smoking in public areas, vaporizers are used by many smokers as an alternative for smoking.

  9. It provides you with the same effect just like smoking but the only difference is
    that with smoking you would be inhaling all the burnt chemicals which would
    damage your body in some way or other. With the help of this lithium ion battery the user
    can use it for 3 hours continuously. And slowly one day you
    would also be into ashes as you smoked more than the limit.

    Make sure to talk about fake vagina, because
    it was important to poke fun at their most
    innocent, they are also too overwhelmed and" immature" to enjoy
    it when it happens. Here is hope for those who prefer to make things

  16. Rather than reflecting a majoritarian sexual morality, as Justice Blackmun perceived it, upon which
    the Georgia sodomy law infringed was not the case with fleshlight.
