Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

The Budget Fashionista is doing her annual shopping survey.  It’s interesting to see how you fare amongst your peers when it comes to shopping.  I read the results of last year’s survey and found a good tip when it comes to setting a budget for yourself when you’re out shopping: 

“To avoid overspending, this is what I do: I put a set amount of money on a gift card to my favorite shopping malls, stores, or generic Visa gift cards from my bank. When the card balance reaches $0, then I know it's time to stop shopping.”

Very, very good tip!  I would also add as a tip to leave the bank card and credit cards at home and just leave cash in your wallet.  This would eliminate the temptation to just stop at the ATM to get more cash ;)
