Spring 2009

Do you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear?
Do you buy things on impulse, get them home and never wear them?
Do you get dressed several times in the morning before you leave the house?

Perhaps it is time to identify your style based on your personality and lifestyle. Then determine what styles are suited to your body type. If you need help with this – I suggest a 2 hour wardrobe planning appointment with one of Yorkdale’s fashion experts. Learn how to build up a wardrobe of stylish classics that you can combine and re-combine to give yourself a uniquely elegant look time after time.

The days of random shopping are over. Spend your money wisely this season: invest in the best quality you can afford. Become a super-smart shopper by searching out statement pieces for your wardrobe - things that you will wear and wear, that will define your look but that are also classic enough in design to last you for years.

The new must-haves in 2009 are often trans-seasonal and made to be kept: leather handbags select shoes, tailored trousers, blazers, and trench coats are among the key"investment pieces" to emerge from the latest round of spring/summer shows. This is also a good time to consider luxury fashion purchases – better products that will endure more than a few seasons ahead and quality jewelry that can upgrade any outfit. A garment or accessory that suits you perfectly and that you love is worth any price you can afford to pay.

A fun, upbeat pattern, print or colour can be a great investment too. Choose things this spring that make you feel fresh and alive. Then wear them and wear them - and know that you are one smart new investment dresser!
