Shop till you drop in Chicago

Hi there from Wisconsin
"I think therefore I choose" -

Today at the Stylemax Buyers Market, in Chicago, I  learnt that it is not all that easy being a buyer.  Believe it or not, it is hard work doing serious shopping at this level.  So many factors to consider for others, rather than just personal choice.  And there is so much choice!  My head was spinning as garment after garment was displayed then whipped away, making decision making tricky.


I am learning more and more about jeans - how they should fit, what shoes to wear with what etc and now feel more comfortable in making my choice - but when you have to decide what will suit others of varying shapes and sizes, ages and stages it becomes a different story.  Do you want SKINNY - BOOTCUT - FLARE - STRAIGHT - CROPS?  Which brand - Not Your Daughters, J Brand, Miss Me, Splendid, Bb Dakota etc etc


Then, if that wasn't enough,  there were the tops and accessories - bags and jewellry, to choose from the fabulous array of merchandise. 
'When the going gets tough - the tough go shopping' - and you have to have good shoes!.........Clara
