Half the fun of going back to school is getting a new wardrobe, right? Stacy says to study your closet before you start shopping (um, way more exciting than studying for a calc exam!). Look at what you own and make a wish list of what's missing. If you need a new top to go with your jeans, should it be a fitted tee, a flowy tunic, or a dressy halter? The more detailed your list, the more successful you'll be. Once you have it, read on for Stacy's tips for every kind of shopping!
DEPARTMENT STORE
• Shop by outfit. So if you're looking at jeans, try them on with a top like one you already own to see the full look.
• Any new piece should go with at least two items that are already in your closet.
• Try free styling services, like At Your Service at Bloomingdale's and By Appointment at Macy's. Call ahead to schedule an appointment. You don't have to buy anything, but it's a good idea to go when you think you might actually buy. Describe a look you're going for, such as "feminine" or "classic," by bringing magazine clips.
• Ask salespeople if there are any upcoming sales.
